Abstract

AbstractStatistical literacy is generally defined as the ability to interpret and evaluate statistical information critically. It is regarded as a higher‐order literacy competence that includes critical thinking. While previous studies have illustrated the concept of statistical literacy, statistical literacy skills have not been sufficiently explored from the perspective of critical thinking research. To fill this gap, this study presents a framework for critical thinking skills in statistical literacy. The characteristics of general critical thinking skills were organized. Based on these characteristics, the researcher extracted sentences related to such skills from selected textbooks. As a result, eight aspects of critical thinking skills in statistical literacy were identified.
