Description
Devoted to statistical thinking and learning, this special double issue reflects major developments within statistics education. During recent years, statistics has entered or gained increased prominence in mainstream mathematics curricula in many countries. Some aspects of the relationship between statistics education and mathematics education in general are illustrated, as is the crucial role of statistical education for responsible citizenship in modern society. The articles:
* provide analyses of the development of children's statistical thinking,
* discuss statistical thinking at a higher and more technical level, and
* illustrate the issues central to the development of statistical education.
