“…Otra de las labores más importantes por parte del profesor es la de concienciar al futuro profesorado de cómo se desarrolla la comprensión conceptual del propio alumnado, y por tanto una de sus obligaciones es hacerle comprender al futuro profesorado que la forma en la que ellos piensan será la forma en la pensará su futuro alumnado (Pfannkuch, 2008).…”

RESUMEN:Los contenidos estadísticos son un bloque fundamental de los currículos educativos que resultan indispensables en la toma de decisiones y, por tanto, ayudan en gran medida a desarrollar las competencias básicas y generales. A este respecto, investigaciones previas muestran que trabajar con proyectos o aprendizaje basado en problemas (PBL) usando métodos estadísticos y de probabilidad es un planteamiento didáctico satisfactorio, desarrollando tanto los conocimientos técnicos como los estratégicos. En este artículo se presenta el diseño de un módulo basado en PBL para trabajar esta disciplina con el alumnado del Grado de Educación Primaria justificando los instrumentos utilizados y valorando las aportaciones de cada uno.PALABRAS CLAVE: Estadística, profesorado, educación primaria, aprendizaje basado en problemas. LEARNING STATISTICS THROUGH PBL WITH PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY TEACHERSABSTRACT: Statistical contents are a fundamental block in the curriculum that is essential to make decisions and, therefore, they help greatly to develop basic and general competences. On this point, previous researches show that working with projects or problem-based learning (PBL) using statistical and probability methods is a satisfactory teaching proposal, that develops both technical and strategic knowledge. In this article, the design of a PBL based module to work on this discipline with Teaching Degree (Primary Education) students is presented, justifying every tool used and evaluating the contribution of each one.

“…However, most of the teachers do not have sufficient experiences in learning of statistics (Zhang & Stephens, 2016), particularly, prospective mathematics teachers who are future teachers of statistics in the school mathematics (Gattuso & Ottaviani, 2011). In teacher education programs prospective teachers were mostly taught statistics by mathematics educators who have not been particularly trained in statistics education (Batanero, Burrill, & Reading, 2011). They were often taught about theoretical statistics in introductory statistics courses and there is need for professional training of mathematics teachers to teach statistics (Batanero & Diaz, 2010).…”

This study aimed to explore how prospective middle school mathematics teachers think critically about a newspaper article that reported the findings of a statistical research. Participants of the study were four fourth-year students enrolled at the mathematics teacher education program of a public university. To investigate the research question of the study, case study method was employed. Indepth semi-structured interviews were done to examine participants" critical thinking processes. The findings of the study indicated that prospective mathematics teachers made use of a variety of critical thinking processes (comprehending, making connections, inferring ideas, critiquing, and selfreflecting) and provided clues about the interrelated nature of these processes. This study would shed light on the characterization of critical thinking in the context of statistical literacy by suggesting a blended framework. It also suggests the design of the tasks including media articles to promote both statistical literacy and critical thinking in statistics education courses for prospective mathematics teachers.

“…Probability has been studied from distinct approaches, from a conceptual level to university curricula and the manner in which it is taught, among others. Contemporaneously, these research topics have been subject to distinct and often controversial interpretations (Batanero et al, 2005;Borovcnik, 2011;Carolyn, Kirk, 2001). These controversies could be due to the fact that probability requires an approach distinct to who we think about and apply reasoning to situations in real life (Batanero et al, 2016).…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the ability of students of the University Center for the Economic Administrative Sciences which forms part of the University of Guadalajara from different economic-administrative undergraduate programs, to solve distinct problems in the area of probability, applying a multiple-choice instrument aligned to the learning objectives via a qualitative-descriptive methodology. The study comprised a sample of 251 students from 14 different undergraduate degree programs who were enrolled in the same statistics course. Multivariate tests were conducted in order to identify any differences in performance related to undergraduate degree program and sex, while a RASCH model was applied to provide validity evidence for the assessment. The results show that the students do not have a good level of ability for solving conditional probability problems, which they confused with the formulation of independent event problems although they did show a satisfactory level of ability for solving other types of problems.
