Using learning trajectories to structure teacher preparation in statistics
Page: 494
As a result of the increased focus on data literacy and data science across the world, there has been a large demand for teacher preparation in statistics. Project-SET constructed two hypothetical learning trajectories for teacher learning and subsequently used the hypothetical learning trajectories to structure a professional development curriculum. We illustrate how the utilization of learning trajectories to design professional development allowed participating teachers to develop several aspects of Statistics Knowledge for Teaching (Groth, 2013).
