Abstract

Providing opportunities for secondary teachers to develop the statistical, technological, and pedagogical facility necessary to successfully engage their students in statistical inquiry is nontrivial. Many mathematics and science teachers in the U.S. have not benefitted from sufficient opportunity to learn statistics in a sense-making manner. With statistics assuming a more prominent place in the secondary curriculum, it remains a priority to consider viable ways in which to reach and support the statistical learning trajectory of both pre- and in-service teachers. This study explores ways in which a course that blends face-to-face and virtual learning experiences impacted in-service teachers’ technological pedagogical statistical knowledge (TPSK) Results suggest the course positively impacted participants’ TPSK.
