摘要
Statistical thinking handles concrete data. However, many of the concepts used in statistics are abstract in nature. In statistics, analogy can be used and should be used to grasp and to represent abstract concepts. Statistics is regarded as different discipline from mathematics due to various aspects of statistics, especially the crucial role of context. This study investigated mathematically gifted students' analogy in statistics. The gifted were asked to construct similar problems to base problem that is a statistical problem. On the basis of analysis on students' new problems, researchers could classify them into four types of analogy in statistics: Success in both structural and contextual analogy, success in structural analogy, structural generalization, and failure in both structural and contextual analogy.
