Abstract

Abstract

Learning progressions can describe the trajectory of students’ thinking development and reveal students’ learning patterns, but the development of assessment tool restricts its research and application. This article takes primary school students’ statistical thinking test for example to develop the assessment tool of learning progressions.The methodology involves learning progressions research framework, building the theory hypothesis of primary school students’ learning progressions of statistical thinking , collection of problem sets, item quality analysis, verification by students’ performance. The results indicate that the leaning progressions theory hypothesis of primary school students’ statistical thinking is basically in accordance with the students’ performance, and this paradigm can provide more reference for teaching and students’ thinking. Also, it can help discover new learning patterns from a new perspective .
