This paper fits the theoretical framework about probability education and presents a design-based research methodology relating to an empirical approach to probability in middle school. The design uses the potential of computer programming to reflect on the different levels of formalization to meet the wide variety of students’ previous knowledge.

Abstract

This paper fits the theoretical framework about probability education and presents a design-based research methodology relating to an empirical approach to probability in middle school. The design uses the potential of computer programming to reflect on the different levels of formalization to meet the wide variety of students’ previous knowledge. The aim of the author is to offer an integrated, intuitive, and advantageous design to develop critical thinking through a constructivist vision of computer use in probability education.
