Abstract

This study provides an empirical based-explanation on how students develop their understanding of statistical concepts and investigations. We developed an instrument that measures students’ developmental levels in learning statistics and administered it to 797 high school and middle school students in central Texas. We conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses by applying structural equation modeling (SEM) approaches. In this paper, we discuss the results of these analyses.
