Statistical literacy is a skill required of all well-educated citizens and is conceptualized here as not only the ability to read given statistical information, but also the ability to imagine the often unreported data and underlying assumptions of this information. While these competencies can be developed as early as middle school, only limited insights exist about how this can be done. At this level statistics is commonly seen as only a small part of mathematics curriculum. Therefore, highly focused didactic materials and design principles for use in middle school are needed. The design research study described here began with principles for developing statistical literacy associated with investigating conflicting statistical information about critical contexts like climate change through the use of digital tools. Student responses from an online course show that the design principles can be used to develop statistical literacy in middle schools. Limitations of the materials described are used to propose directions for future design research studies regarding developing statistical literacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
