What the paper says

Two of the articles focus on probability, with secondary teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching as the focus of one article, and primary preservice teachers' reactions to students' responses to a probability problem as the focus of the other.The remaining two articles focus on students' literacy for students aged 12-17 years.The third article focuses on students' statistical literacy as they reason about measures of central tendency, and the fourth article reports the outcomes of a pedagogical intervention to develop students' data literacy regarding data collection.In their empirical work, Ane Izagirre, Jon Anasagasti, and Ainhoa Berciano investigated secondary in-service mathematics teachers' attitudes towards probability and whether teachers' attitudes differed by gender, academic training (e.g., mathematics, engineering, architecture), or number of years teaching mathematics.They used Estrada and Batanero's (2015) Attitudes towards Probability and its Teaching Scale to measure teachers' attitudes along dimensions of attitudes towards probability, attitudes towards the teaching of probability, and value towards probability and its teaching.They further considered attitudes towards probability for affective, cognitive competence, or behavioral components, and attitudes toward the teaching of probability for affective, teaching competence, and behavioral components.The authors found that over half of the surveyed teachers had overall positive attitudes towards probability and its teaching, and positive attitudes along the three dimensions.Although they found almost no meaningful gender differences for the overall scale or among its dimensions and components, they found meaningful differences in attitudes towards probability and towards probability
