Abstrakt: Simulations are considered essential instructional tools in teaching probability and statistics, with computer simulations in particular receiving emphasis in recent years. Despite this, little research has been reported on how learners use computer simulations to solve problems and investigate stochastic contexts. Clinical interviews with four preservice secondary mathematics teachers investigated this issue as they worked with a series of probabilistic tasks in CODAP. This report presents findings based on participants' performance on one of the tasks, which involved making predictions about a school board election based on simulated polling results.
