Title: | A Hierarchy of Tertiary Students' Consideration of Variation | Contributor(s): | Reid, J (author) ; Reading, CE (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/1076 | Abstract: | In this study a hierarchy of consideration of variation was developed from students' responses to a questionnaire given at the beginning of a tertiary introductory statistics course. The hierarchy was then used to code responses to the same questionnaire post-study. Comparison of student performances showed that the development of consideration of variation differs with the context of the question. The proposed hierarchy could provide a basis for a more general hierarchy of consideration of variation that is applicable across a variety of tasks. It also supports educators in identifying the level of a student's consideration of variation, providing direction for teaching and learning activities that will help that consideration develop. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ICOTS 7: 7th International Conference on Teaching Statistics, Salvador, Brazil, 2nd - 7th July, 2006 | Source of Publication: | Working Cooperatively in Statistics Education: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Teaching Statistics (ICOTS-7) | Publisher: | International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) & International Statistical Institute (ISI) | Place of Publication: | Salvador, Brazil | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130208 Mathematics and Numeracy Curriculum and Pedagogy | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/publications/17/C122.pdf http://www.ime.usp.br/~abe/ICOTS7/Proceedings/index.html |
