Abstract
The aim of this paper is to assess some components in the probabilistic knowledge for teaching of pre-service primary school teachers. These teachers were given a task in which they must identify the certain event in a random experiment. Common knowledge of content is assessed through the responses given by 283 spanish pre-service primary school teachers to an open-problem. In addition, two components of didactic knowledge are inferred trough the participants analyses, when working in small groups: (a) specialized knowledge of content is assessed from their analyses of the tasks’ mathematical content; and (b) knowledge of content and students is assessed from their assessment of responses provided by primary school students. Results suggest the need to reinforce the training of pre-service teachers both in the mathematical and the didactic knowledge.
