Abstract

To teach statistics effectively teachers need to have a well-developed knowledge of distribution. As a key concept in an intricate web of statistical knowledge, distribution depends on, and is depended on by many other statistical concepts. Various frameworks have been developed as researchers strive to describe the cognitive development of knowledge of distribution. Considering the professional learning continuum that a teacher needs to traverse, research studies are reported that have focused, from the of teachers as learners, on the development of teacher knowledge of distribution both before teaching and while teaching. Recommendations are made for teacher learning and future research into teachers' knowledge of distribution.
