Abstract

In statistical inference, importance of sampling is recognized as one of its key concepts, which has allowed its incorporation internationally in different curricular guidelines and specifically in the Chilean curriculum, since the first notions of sampling are introduced in 7th Grade. This paper presents an analysis of the responses to an open-ended written questionnaire, designed to evaluate understanding of sampling, that was applied to a sample of 1,241 Chilean secondary students of 8th, 10th and 12th Grades in six different secondary schools. A mixed methodology was used, with qualitative description of responses and a quantitative analysis of their frequencies. The results reflect outstanding difficulties in the use of elements related to sampling and its properties in different problem situations. For example, students can distinguish the concept of sample in contexts close to their experiences; but when faced with different sampling methods, they are not able to identify biases associated to sample selection. Thus, when deciding if a sample is representative, they mostly identify cases in which the given sample is not.

了解智利中学生抽样
在统计推断中,抽样的重要性被认为是其关键概念之一,这使得它能够在国际上纳入不同的课程指南,特别是在智利课程中,因为第一个抽样概念是在七年级引入的。本文对一份旨在评估对抽样理解的开放式书面问卷的答复进行了分析,该问卷适用于六所不同中学1241名8年级、10年级和12年级的智利中学生。使用了一种混合方法,对反应进行了定性描述,并对其频率进行了定量分析。结果反映了在不同问题情况下使用与取样及其特性有关的元素的突出困难。例如,学生可以在接近他们经验的背景下区分样本的概念;但当面对不同的采样方法时,它们无法识别与样本选择相关的偏差。因此,当决定样本是否具有代表性时,他们大多会确定给定样本不具有代表性的情况。摘要:西班牙统计推断承认抽样的重要性是其关键概念之一,这使得抽样能够在国际上纳入不同的课程大纲,特别是智利的课程,因为抽样的第一个概念是在小学七年级引入的。本文对一份旨在评估对抽样理解的开放式问卷的答复进行了分析,该问卷适用于六所教育机构的1241名智利中学生,分别是小学八年级、中学二年级和中学四年级。采用了一种混合方法,对反应进行了定性描述,并对其频率进行了定量分析。结果表明,在提出的不同问题情况下,在使用与取样有关的元素及其特性方面存在明显困难。例如,学生在与他们的经历密切相关的背景下区分样本的概念;但当面对不同的抽样方法时,他们无法识别与样本选择相关的偏见。因此,在决定样本是否具有代表性时,他们首先确定给定样本不具有代表性的情况。

期刊介绍: SERJ is a peer-reviewed electronic journal of the International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) and the International Statistical Institute (ISI). SERJ is published twice a year and is free. SERJ aims to advance research-based knowledge that can help to improve the teaching, learning, and understanding of statistics or probability at all educational levels and in both formal (classroom-based) and informal (out-of-classroom) contexts. Such research may examine, for example, cognitive, motivational, attitudinal, curricular, teaching-related, technology-related, organizational, or societal factors and processes that are related to the development and understanding of stochastic knowledge. In addition, research may focus on how people use or apply statistical and probabilistic information and ideas, broadly viewed. The Journal encourages the submission of quality papers related to the above goals, such as reports of original research (both quantitative and qualitative), integrative and critical reviews of research literature, analyses of research-based theoretical and methodological models, and other types of papers described in full in the Guidelines for Authors. All papers are reviewed internally by an Associate Editor or Editor, and are blind-reviewed by at least two external referees. Contributions in English are recommended. Contributions in French and Spanish will also be considered. A submitted paper must not have been published before or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
