Overview

Educational intervention demonstrates sustained classroom statistics instruction among mathematics teachers, highlighting the value of practical, data-driven training.

Key Points

  • To develop and evaluate an activity-based training program designed to enhance pre-service mathematics teachers' pedagogical competence and attitudes toward teaching secondary school statistics.
  • Designed a pedagogical intervention comprising two workshops and a supporting website focused on descriptive statistics, probability, real-world data analysis, games, and simulations.
  • Trained more than 500 pre-service mathematics teachers over several years.
  • Assessed immediate workshop perceptions and administered a follow-up survey 2 to 5 years post-intervention.
  • Participants rated the workshops favorably regarding content quality, practical relevance, and classroom applicability.
  • A long-term follow-up survey conducted 2 to 5 years later revealed that a majority of participating educators actively teach statistics in their secondary school classrooms.
