Classroom culture, technology, & modeling: A case study of students’ engagement with statistical ideas
Page: 955
Advances in technologies have changed the way statisticians do their work, as well as how people receive and process information. The case study presented here follows two groups of two students who participated in a reform-oriented curriculum that utilized technology to engage students with modeling and simulation activities to develop their statistical literacy, thinking, and reasoning. Our analysis applies a social theory of learning and a framework for student engagement as a means for studying students’ development of statistical reasoning. In addition, we investigate the impact of a curriculum focused on modeling and simulation on the development of students’ statistical reasoning skills.
