Abstract: 

In the following discussion several issues are presented for interdisciplinary reflection on the teaching of Probability and Statistics in preparatory school. they are set out according to a scheme which links this particular subject, with, in the first place, other disciplines - mathematics, physical-natural sciences, humanities and social sciences; secondly, with the variables of individual learning and modes of scholastic organization; and finally, with environmental variables (see scheme 1). The scheme is organized around problems and disciplines involved in the didactic complex and incorporates many features of the learning-teaching process. Some of the issues originate in the Italian reality; they may also be valid in other national contexts.
