Teachers' beliefs about statistics education
Beliefs have long been known to affect teaching and learning. In statistics education, little research has been conducted on the nature of teachers’ beliefs, despite the likely impact these beliefs have on teachers’ activities. This chapter first considers content-focused beliefs about statistics, its relationship with mathematics, and its place in the curriculum, before addressing beliefs associated with teaching and learning statistics. Influences on beliefs and the impact of beliefs on teaching are considered, and suggestions for further research are proposed.
