Presenter

• Rolf Biehler (Germany)

Abstract

Pairs of students use the computer software Fathom for working on problems from Exploratory Data Analysis. The exploratory study was interested in identifying how the software as a tool supports or hinders students’ thinking. Working styles of students related to distributional thinking in the context of group comparison tasks were studied.
