Abstract

This paper describes the development of an instrument designed to assess the interest that middle school students (years 7 to 9) have towards statistical literacy. In particular the paper presents a theoretical framework for interest in statistical literacy which is subsequently used as the basis for item development. Initial pilot results that are analysed using a Rasch measurement perspective are then presented.
