- ItemAlice in randomland: a resource for improving attitudes towards probability and its teaching(International Association for Statistical Education, 2021) Guiñez, Flavio; Vásquez Ortiz, Claudia Alejandra; Brito, Camila; Martinez, Salomé© International Association for Statistical Education (IASE/ISI)This article presents the results of a study aimed at examining how primary school teachers’ attitudes towards probability and its teaching are influenced by their use of an interactive story focused on sparking interest in probability and providing opportunities for learning this mathematical topic. A scale of attitudes towards probability and its teaching was applied to 40 prospective primary school teachers, before and after reading the book. This instrument was implemented with two focus groups. Preliminary results revealed significant changes in pre-service teachers’ attitudes, particularly in their feelings towards probability. This evidence attested to the potential of the book, especially considering that the participants had only studied the basics of this topic in previous courses
- ItemConnecting statistics education and sustainability: beliefs of Primary Education teachers(SOC ESPANOLA INVESTIGACION & EDUCACION MATEMATICA-SEIM, 2023) Vásquez Ortiz, Claudia Alejandra; Seckel Santis, María José; Rojas Sateler, FranciscoCurrently, teachers are being challenged to integrate sustainability into school classrooms in various disciplines, and the statistics education is not immune to this trend. Against this backdrop, in this work we investigate the belief system of 11 Chilean primary education teachers who are active in statistics education and its links with sustainability. To this end, we conducted semi-structured interviews and analyzed them using a qualitative methodology under an interpretive approach. The results show that teach-ers acknowledge the integration of statistics education and sustainability as a challenge, identifying as the most recurring topics their mastery of content and the development of skills.
