“…The next step in imaginative reading is to hypothesize about the possible data about household income that produced the model in question. Researchers that investigate this activity of de-abstracting show, for example, how students can develop a critical understanding of how different models of data can provide different perspectives on that data (Büscher & Prediger, 2019). And finally, a statistically literate citizen can evaluate whether the collected household income data is adequate to represent the phenomenon of poverty, reversing the encoding process by de-coding the data.…”

Statistical literacy is a skill that will be required by all students, but only limited insights exist into how it can be developed in middle schools. Research is required that identifies design principles and provides didactic materials for developing statistical literacy in actual middle school classrooms, meaning classrooms in which statistics is only seen as a small part of mathematics. This study conceptualizes statistical literacy as not only the ability to read given statistical information, but also as the ability to imagine the often unreported data and underlying assumptions of this information. This allows the Design Research study to identify design principles for developing statistical literacy in which students actively engage with conflicting statistical information about the same data. The working mechanisms of the design principles are illustrated through didactic materials, and student responses show how the design principles can be used to develop statistical literacy in middle schools.
