Abstract
Many struggle to make sense of the statistical information provided by articles. In a statistics class, students would be able to use statistical reasoning to analyse and interpret data. The aim of the study is to find out students’ attitudes toward learning statistical reasoning using TinkerPlots in the Statistical Reasoning Learning Environment (SRLE) class. The sample of study involved 23 Year Five international primary school students. The participants of this research (experimental group) were chosen using convenience sampling. The students underwent interventions about a month after pre-test. Once intervention was completed, they sat for the post-test. The research was conducted using the Student Attitudes towards Statistics (SATS). Then, the results of questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics which were mean and standard deviation. The findings indicated that positive attitude in learning statistics was the response in the questionnaire given by the students. Thus, the study indicates that integrating technology, TinkerPlots in a current learning environment (SRLE class) era develops positive learning attitudes among students and enhances the students’ statistical reasoning as well.
