Abstract
The development of Statistical Literacy can be affected in a variety of ways. For example, it might that particular reasoning skills or the capacity for critical thinking, essential to statistical literacy, require specific development. Even general cognitive skills such as reading competency could act to facilitate or impede the development of statistical literacy. In addition, student conceptions of key constructs such as variability can be seen as central to statistical literacy. The papers in this session will report research into these different factors.
