我が国における統計教育研究の傾向

抄録

　　 Contemporary society is filled with statistical data and information, and requires all citizens to become fully statistically literate. School education, especially statistics education, must respond to the request from the society. However, statistics education in Japan cannot yet handle it adequately. This research attempts to reflect on statistics education research in Japan and then present its tendency to provide a sound basis for meeting the request. To achieve this purpose, the titles of every statistics education research paper appearing in five kinds of publications are analyzed and categorized. The results of the analysis present that statistics education research in Japan is interested considerably in the pedagogical facet of didactic phenomena. This tendency turns out to be distinctly different than both that of mathematics education research in Japan and that of international statistics education research.
