Even though statistical thinking and critical thinking appear to have strong links from a theoretical point of view, empirical research into the intersections and potential interrelatedness of these aspects of competence is scarce. Our research suggests that thinking skills in both areas may be interdependent. Given this interconnection, it should be possible to stimulate both forms of thinking through the one task. This paper explores the implications of an exploratory qualitative study into processes when working on tasks encompassing both these areas for the design of tasks that simultaneously stimulate critical thinking and domain-specific thinking.
Tareas híbridas: promover el pensamiento estadístico y el pensamiento crítico por medio de las mismas actividades matemáticas
Aunque desde un punto de vista teórico, el pensamiento estadístico y el pensamiento crítico parecen tener fuertes conexiones, la investigación empírica sobre la intersección y la potencial interrelación entre estos aspectos de competencia es escasa. Nuestra investigación sugiere que las habilidades de pensamiento en ambas áreas pueden ser interdependientes. Dada esta interconexión, debería ser posible estimular ambas formas de pensamiento mediante una tarea. Este artículo explora las implicaciones de un estudio cualitativo exploratorio sobre los procesos de pensamiento en tareas que abordan ambas áreas para el diseño de tareas que simultáneamente estimulan el pensamiento crítico y pensamiento específico de un dominio.
