Visualising Chance: Learning Probability through Modelling
Budgett, Stephanie; Pfannkuch, Maxine
Teaching and Learning Research Initiative
This report summarises the research activities and findings from the TLRI-funded project entitled "Visualising Chance: Learning Probability Through Modelling." This exploratory study was a 2-year collaboration among two researchers, two conceptual software developers/interactive graphics experts, three university lecturers/practitioners, one master's student, four teacher observers and one quality assurance advisor. The project team designed innovative software tools and associated tasks which aimed to expose introductory students to a modelling approach to probability. The study sought to discover what conceptual understanding of probability and what probabilistic reasoning could be promoted from such an approach.
