Thompson proposes to conduct a 40-month investigation of high school student learning difficulties when they participate in new instruction mehtods for probabilistic and statistical reasoning. It also investigates how teachers might be effectively engaged in the teaching of students how to reason stochastically. The project will focus on college-bound humanities-oriented high school students in a sememster course on probability and statistics using specifically designed activities and instruction. A second phase of the project will engage a group of high school teachers of Algebra I and Algebra II in rethinking how students learn from statistics instruction. A 4-week workshop for teachers will be held in the second phase. Data will collected by videotape, student interviews, teacher interviews, and from examples of teachers' written work.Insights gained from the project will inform revisions of student and instructor materials. Results will be disseminated to researchers through articles in professional journals and to practitioners through trade journals and regional workshops.

汤普森建议进行为期40个月的调查，高中生学习困难时，他们参加新的教学方法的概率和统计推理。 它还调查了教师如何可能有效地参与教学的学生如何推理随机。 该项目将侧重于面向大学人文学科的高中生，采用专门设计的活动和教学，开设关于概率和统计的学期课程。 该项目的第二阶段将让一组代数I和代数II的高中教师重新思考学生如何从统计教学中学习。 第二阶段将为教师举办为期四周的讲习班。 数据将通过录像带、学生访谈、教师访谈和教师书面作业的例子来收集。从项目中获得的见解将为学生和教师材料的修订提供信息。 研究结果将通过专业期刊上的文章传播给研究人员，并通过行业期刊和区域讲习班传播给从业人员。
