Abstract

In this study, statistical literacy which is gaining importance day by day, statistical literacy models and components are examined. The common goal of these models is to understand how students solved statistical problems. Statistical literacy a new contruct within statistics education and therefore to learn about it, in order to improve assessment and training required special attention to the interference. In recent years, statistical issues in mathematics education programs are given a lot of space than its predecessors. That’s why statistical models and components have become important. In this study, two models are used to develop statistical literacy examined the models components, similar and different aspects were investigated. This study will create an awareness statistical literacy models and components. At the same time it will be useful for both researchers and teachers for overcoming the difficulties encountered in the teaching of statistics.

İstatistiksel okuryazarlık modelleri ve bileşenlerinin incelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada gün geçtikçe önem kazanan istatistiksel okuryazarlık, istatistiksel okuryazarlık modelleri ve bileşenleri incelenmiştir. Bu modellerin ortak amacı öğrencilerin problemleri nasıl çözdüğünü anlamaktır. İstatistiksel okuryazarlık, istatistik eğitimi araştırmalarında yeni bir konudur. Bu yüzden bu konuda öğrenme, değerlendirme ve öğretimi geliştirmek için yapılan girişimlerin ortaya konulmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Son yıllarda istatistik konularının matematik öğretim programımızda daha çok yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle istatistik öğretiminde öne çıkan model ve bileşenleri daha önemli hale getirmiştir. Çalışmada istatistiksel okuryazarlığı geliştirmek için kullanılan iki model incelenmiş, bu modellerin bileşenleri, benzer ve farklı yönleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın, istatistiksel okuryazarlık modelleri ve bileşenleri hakkında farkındalık oluşturacağı istatistik öğretiminde zorlukların aşılmasında hem araştırmacı hem de öğretmenlere ışık tutacağı düşünülmektedir.
