Abstract
This talk will report on the design of an introductory probability module intended for implementation at scale within the English educational system as part of the epiSTEMe programme of redesign research aimed at improving the teaching and learning of mathematics and science at early-secondary level. The approach taken by the module places particular emphasis on encouraging dialogic discussion, capitalising on contrasts within and between everyday and scientific thinking about chance.
Series This talk is part of the Faculty of Education Seminars series.
