Teaching and learning of probability

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a personal synthesis of the most outstanding research on the teaching and learning of probability in the past years. We conducted a systematic search to examine publications on this topic in mathematics education, statistics education, education, and psychology journals. This exploration was complemented by additional studies published in conference proceedings or books. We classified these papers to highlight the main recent research tendencies in the field, according to the theme st… Show more

“…With these reforms, new content was added to the mathematics curriculum for elementary and secondary levels. The concepts of statistics and probability, which were previously taught at advanced levels, are now taught starting in primary education (Batanero & Álvarez-Arroyo, 2023). At CBC Baru, teaching and learning statistics emphasizes the integration of ICT and the use of real data.…”

“…Díaz & de la Fuente (2007) investigated these biases in a wide sample of university students who correctly solved probability problems. The pervasiveness of these biases has produced recent research that analysed different visualisations that might help students overcome these biases (described in Batanero & Álvarez-Arroyo, 2023).…”

“…There is increasing interest in teaching probability at different educational levels, given that recent research suggests that even young children develop ideas of probability with adequate instruction (Batanero & Álvarez-Arroyo, 2023). Probability is an area with the same relevance as calculus and algebra; however, it is the only branch that deals with uncertainty, leading to a new type of reasoning (Sharma, 2015).…”

“…According to Batanero (2013), the statistical sense has three components: the understanding of basic statistical ideas, the ability to analyze and the ability to reason from the data. Thus, it is necessary that Statistical Education be introduced from the first years of basic school, aiming to form concepts that help students in the exercise of their citizenship (Lopes, 2008).…”
