Culture, cognition and uncertainty: metacognition in the learning and teaching of probability theory

A Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Education, University
of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of Education by course-work
and research report.
Johannesburg, 1992 / This research report investigates the psychological dimensions in
the learning and teaching of probability theory. It begins by
outlining some problems arising from the author's own experience in
the learning and teaching of probability theory, and develops a
theoretical position using the Theory of Activity. This theory
places education within the broad social context and recognises the
centrality of affective aspects of cognition.
