Terence Mills – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Terence Mills introduces us to Keynsian probability and discusses its implications for teaching probability. The author considers it unlikely that Keynes's theory would replace how we teach probability, but argues that it may make us think more deeply about the use of terms such as chance and probability when used in our lessons.

Hem Chand Dayal; Sashi Sharma; Krishan Kumar – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
We report on findings from a study involving 15 secondary mathematics teachers from Fiji. The aim of the study is to describe teachers' current approaches to teaching probability and statistics; and to share their views on using game-based teaching approaches. We report briefly on the first stage of follow-up on one teacher who agreed to develop…

Ebru Korkmaz; Selçuk Alkan – SAGE Open, 2023
Identifying the mistakes in student responses and being able to manage the solution process are among the fundamental skills that should be acquired by the pre-service teachers. This skill is important in probability, about which students have a great number of misconceptions. The aim of this study was to determine the misconceptions in the…

English, Lyn D. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
This article reports on a study in which third-grade students (8-9 years) were given a degree of agency in conducting chance experiments and representing the outcomes. Students chose their own samples of 12 coloured counters, ensuring all colours were represented. They predicted the outcomes of item selection, tested their predictions, explained…

Anita Ade Rahma; Rini Sefriani; Tri Ayu Parwati – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2024
Education plays a very important role in improving the quality of human resources. In higher education, students need learning that is innovative and not monotonous so that learning goals can be achieved. In this research, what will be discussed further is the development of learning methods by combining 2 methods, namely Cooperative Based…

Ishibashi, Ippo – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
Probability is a difficult concept, which is not always taught accurately. This study aims to clarify how experimental and theoretical probabilities are taught in Japanese 7th and 8th grades through a textbook analysis. We analyzed seven, government approved Japanese 7th and 8th grade textbooks each. Focusing on the definition and explanation of…

Ane Izagirre; Jon Anasagasti; Ainhoa Berciano – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
Probability literacy has gained importance in educational curricula. The aim of this research was to analyse secondary education teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching and to examine differences across the factors of gender, academic training, and work experience. From a positivist paradigm, a quantitative methodology was used.…

María del Mar López-Martín; María Burgos Navarro; Verónica Albanese – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
To ensure the learning of mathematics, teachers must be able to analyse their students' mathematical practices when solving tasks, interpret the difficulties that students encounter, and decide how to manage students' difficulties. This competence in didactic analysis and intervention allows teachers to adapt their teaching to meet individual…

Martin, Vincent; Thibault, Mathieu; Homier, Marianne – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
The first stage of a study in Québec enabled us to draw up a statistical portrait of probability teaching practices self-reported by 626 teachers at the elementary and secondary levels. For the second stage of the study, discussed here, we wanted to elaborate on some of the questionnaire answers and to discuss professional development avenues…

Eleni Tsami; Andreas Rokopanos; Dimitris Anastasopoulos – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2023
Mathematical education in Greece is constantly evolving in the pursuit of optimal learning outcomes for students despite their cognitive differences. This study seeks to gain insight into the use of new technologies in teaching probability theory and the gender differences in the comprehension of probability theory. To this end, a survey was…

Ava Greenwood; Sara Davies; Timothy J. McIntyre – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
This article is motivated by the importance of developing statistically literate students. The authors present a selection of problems that could be used to motivate student interest in probability as well as providing additional depth to the curriculum when used alongside traditional resources. The solutions presented utilise natural frequencies…

Nikiforidou, Zoi; Jones, Jennie – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
Young children encounter uncertainty and challenges on a daily basis; through their intuitions, experiences and experimentation they construct knowledge, skills and dispositions towards probabilistic concepts. The aim of this exploratory ethnographic study is to identify how young children engage with probabilistic thinking and reasoning while…

Grando, Regina Célia; Lopes, Celi Espasandin – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Research on statistical education in childhood is recent in Brazil. The research has been mainly driven by curriculum reforms and the creation of research groups that investigate teaching, learning, and teacher education practices. The present paper emerges from this scenario and has the aim of investigating practices of creative insubordination…
