(2004), described levels for analyzing and interpreting data; Idiosyncratic, Transitional, Quantitative and Analytical, and then explained each of these levels in terms of specific SOLO levels.”
• Models of Development in Statistical Reasoning (2004, methodology): “Jones et al. (2000) and Mooney (2002) characterize elementary and middle school students’ statistical reasoning according to four processes: describing data, organizing and reducing data, representing data, and analyzing and interpreting data.”
• STATISTICAL COGNITION: TOWARDS EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IN STATISTICS AND STATISTICS EDUCATION (2008, background): “A number of models of cognitive development in probability and statistics have been proposed (Biggs & Collis, 1991; Jones, Langrall, Thornton, & Mogill, 1997; Mooney, 2002; Watson & Callingham, 2003).”
• Preservice Elementary Teachers' Conceptual and Procedural Knowledge of Mean, Median, and Mode (2006, methodology): “The thinking exhibited by preservice teachers in this study strongly resembles the thinking of elementary and middle school children in the research literature summarized earlier (Cai, 2000; Jones et al., 2000; Mokros & Russell, 1995; Mooney, 2002; Watson & Moritz, 2000).”
