Abstract
Statistical literacy is crucial for preparing students to become part of a modern society that is continuously bombarded with arguments that are derived from data-based decisions. In this regard, the teaching of statistics is a fundamental aspect of the mathematics curriculum at any educational level. Therefore, this study presents a systematic literature review of 36 articles that examine statistical literacy skills among students. Specifically, this study focused on identifying teaching methods that influence the development of statistical literacy among students. It was found that four dominant factors influence the development of statistical literacy among students: the learning environment, students’ attitude, teaching method, and students’ basic knowledge. Some studies have focused on students’ demographic factors, including their age, gender, and grade level; however, there are no conclusive findings on their role in influencing the development of statistical literacy. The study also revealed the three most common teaching methods in statistical literacy studies were teacher-centered teaching methods, student-centered teaching methods, and materials-based teaching. Out of these methods, materials-based teaching was the most commonly used to develop statistical literacy among students. Based on the findings, implications for teaching and learning statistics were discussed.
