Pre-Service Teachers' Conceptions of Probability
Odafe, Victor U.
PRIMUS, v21 n7 p592-605 2011
Probability knowledge and skills are needed in science and in making daily decisions that are sometimes made under uncertain conditions. Hence, there is the need to ensure that the pre-service teachers of our children are well prepared to teach probability. Pre-service teachers' conceptions of probability are identified, and ways of helping them (teachers) learn the subject more thoroughly are suggested. (Contains 6 tables and 2 figures.)
