Ernesto Sánchez; Victor Nozair García-Ríos; Francisco Sepúlveda – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Sampling distributions are fundamental for statistical inference, yet their abstract nature poses challenges for students. This research investigates the development of high school students' conceptions of sampling distribution through informal significance tests with the aid of digital technology. The study focuses on how technological tools…

Chang, Kuo-En; Chen, Yu-Lung; Lin, He-Yan; Sung, Yao-Ting – Computers & Education, 2008
This paper describes the effects of learning support on simulation-based learning in three learning models: experiment prompting, a hypothesis menu, and step guidance. A simulation learning system was implemented based on these three models, and the differences between simulation-based learning and traditional laboratory learning were explored in…
