| 總結: | To date, there are abundant studies on statistical reasoning in descriptive statistics and inferential
statistics. Nevertheless, the types of statistical reasoning assessments used in those studies are different
from each other. Hence, this qualitative meta-analysis is aimed to explore the methods utilized in
assessing statistical reasoning among students from all levels in descriptive statistics. A total of 36 studies
on reasoning about measures of central tendency, variability and distribution were found and reviewed in
this paper. It was noticed that six major types of methods were employed to assess students’ statistical
reasoning in descriptive statistics, namely interview, survey or questionnaire, tasks, tests, minute paper,
and teaching. This study contributes considerably to the statistical reasoning area as it provides new
information on statistical reasoning in descriptive statistics. For future studies, some recommendations are
proposed to improve statistical reasoning assessments. |
