Activity Based Probability and Statistics Teaching

Probability and Statistics teaching aims to develop data collection tools for students to analyze real-life problems, to acquire data, to visualize these collected data or to interpret them through various calculations. When the studies are examined, it is seen that both students and teachers experience various difficulties in the teaching and learning of probability and statistics. The reasons for these difficulties are that most of the students try to memorize the formula instead of understanding the subject, cannot understand the question and cannot use appropriate teaching materials. This work, which was prepared to establish a solid bridge between theory and practice in the teaching of probability and statistics, The First Step to Data Science: Teaching Probability and Statistics, Basic Concepts and Teaching Related to Probability, Use of Simulation in Teaching Probability, Teaching Probability Distributions, Statistical Problem Solving Process: Research Question It consists of 9 main sections under the headings of Creating, Data Collection, Organizing and Analyzing, Distribution Concept and Teaching Frequency Distributions, Teaching Central Tendency Measures, Teaching Central Dispersion (Change) Measures, Difficulties Experienced by Students, Causes and Solution Suggestions.
Each of the sections in the work; It has been written by academics who are experts in their fields and continue their academic studies in different universities in Turkey. We hope that the prepared work will be beneficial to academicians, teachers, students studying in undergraduate and graduate programs with its rich content and application examples and will contribute to the field of mathematics education.
