Taram, Abdul; Setyawan, Fariz – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Probabilistic thinking is a structure of thinking characterized by scenarios that allow one to explore reality. Therefore, the characteristic of probabilistic thinking is problem-oriented that will occur in a future full of uncertainty. Nevertheless, few studies examine the students' probabilistic thinking level based on the Stress Tolerance…

Moore, Alexander S. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Psychoanalysis is largely overlooked in mathematics education, yet is relevant to many aspects of the field, such as the institution of the school, curriculum and instruction, and content. Specifically, one content area where psychoanalysis is both exceedingly relevant and absent is that of probability education. In this critical literature…

Alejandro Ramírez-Contreras; Leopoldo Zúñiga-Silva; Ezequiel Ojeda-Gómez – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
This paper reports on an exploratory study about probabilistic intuition in learning mathematics for decision-making. The analysis was carried out on a group of high school students in relation to their probabilistic intuition in problem-solving, after performing playful learning activities on a simulation platform specifically designed for this…

Nikiforidou, Zoi; Jones, Jennie – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
Young children encounter uncertainty and challenges on a daily basis; through their intuitions, experiences and experimentation they construct knowledge, skills and dispositions towards probabilistic concepts. The aim of this exploratory ethnographic study is to identify how young children engage with probabilistic thinking and reasoning while…

Ong, Jia Hoong; Liu, Fang – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
According to Bayesian/predictive coding models of autism, autistic individuals may have difficulties learning probabilistic cue-outcome associations, but empirical evidence has been mixed. The target cues used in previous studies were often straightforward and might not reflect real-life learning of such associations which requires learners to…

Shodiqin, Ali; Sukestiyarno, Y. L.; Wardono; Isnarto – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Many problems in real life are full of uncertainty. Probabilistic thinking is one way to solve this uncertainty problem. The personality abilities that are interesting to examine include how independent the students are in facing probabilistic solutions. For this reason, it is necessary to study the probabilistic thinking profile of prospective…

Anna Lang; Tilmann Betsch – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
In two studies, children learned simple but adaptive decision strategies from decision feedback. In a probabilistic multi-cue decision task, we investigated children's decision strategies under different feedback conditions. In Study 1 (N = 313), 7- and 9-year-old German children learned the selective decision strategy Take-the-Best. Children…

Giménez-Fernández, Tamara; Vicente-Conesa, Francisco; Luque, David; Vadillo, Miguel A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
In a typical probabilistic cuing experiment, participants are asked to find a visual target among a series of distractors. Although participants are not informed about this, the target appears more frequently in one region of the display, resulting in faster search times for targets located in this region. This bias is thought to depend on a…

Ulitzsch, Esther; Domingue, Benjamin W.; Kapoor, Radhika; Kanopka, Klint; Rios, Joseph A. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
Common response-time-based approaches for non-effortful response behavior (NRB) in educational achievement tests filter responses that are associated with response times below some threshold. These approaches are, however, limited in that they require a binary decision on whether a response is classified as stemming from NRB; thus ignoring…

Supply, Anne-Sophie; Van Dooren, Wim; Onghena, Patrick – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Previous research has shown that early numerical abilities are predictive of later mathematical achievement. In line with these previous studies, we investigated whether early numerical abilities are also associated with later probabilistic reasoning abilities. In the present study, we examined children's numerical abilities in the second grade of…

Atika Defita Sari; Didi Suryadi; Dadan Dasari – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2024
This study aims to determine students learning obstacles in probability material based on their probabilistic thinking (PT) level using the theory of didactical situation (TDS) perspective. This is qualitative research with the case study method. The subject consisted of 23 grade 9 students in junior high school who had studied the material and…

Sullivan, Patrick – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Probabilistic reasoning underpins much of middle school students' future work in data analysis and inferential statistics. Unfortunately for many middle school students, probabilistic reasoning is not intuitive. One specific area in which students seem to struggle is determining the probability of compound events (Moritz and Watson 2000). Research…

Hokor, Evans Kofi; Apawu, Jones; Owusu-Ansah, Nana Akosua; Agormor, Sefakor – Pedagogical Research, 2022
Concerns about the influence of misconceptions, culture and social setting on probabilistic reasoning of teacher trainees led to a study in this area to explore the reasoning of preservice teachers from a college of education in Ghana. This study investigates preservice teachers' misconceptions and difficulties in probabilistic problems solving…

Prashad, Shikha; Du, Yue; Clark, Jane E. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Current methods to understand implicit motor sequence learning inadequately assess motor skill acquisition in daily life. Using fixed sequences in the serial reaction time task is not ideal as participants may become aware of the sequence, thereby changing the learning from implicit to explicit. Probabilistic sequences, in which stimuli are linked…

Ozyildirim-Gumus, Feride; Ozyildirim, Gulnar – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2020
Reflective thinking, problem solving and probabilistic thinking are important processes in mathematics education and considered to what extent those processes can be carried out by elementary school students is essential. The study is conducted with 188 eighth grade students. As a result, no significant difference is observed in reflective…
