This paper presents a survey of the reported research about students’ errors, difficulties and conceptions concerning elementary statistical concepts. Information related to the learning processes is essential to curricular design in this branch of mathematics. In particular, the identification of errors and difficulties which students display is needed in order to organize statistical training programmes and to prepare didactical situations which allow the students to overcome their cognitive obstacles. This paper does not attempt to report on probability concepts, an area which has received much attention, but concentrates on other statistical concepts, which have received little attention hitherto.
