This discussion of some recent research attempts to highlight the importance of reasoning about variation.

The focus in this chapter is on some specific aspects of reasoning about variation. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The Challenge of Developing Statistical Literacy, Reasoning and Thinking, p. 201-226 | Publisher: | Kluwer Academic Publishers | Place of Publication: | Dordrecht, Netherlands | ISBN: | 1402022778 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130303 Education Assessment and Evaluation | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.springer.com/statistics/book/978-1-4020-2277-7 http://books.google.com.au/books?id=au1w8Gsp5BsC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA201 http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/17476122 |
