Abstract: 

In this work problem solving procedures about statistical association using microcomputers, are analyzed. The effect of several didactical variables on these procedures is also studied. The sample was formed by 18 trainee teachers who received previous training during a seven week period. The study of the arguments expressed by the students allows us to know the scope and meaning given by them to the concept of association and to infer criteria to design new didactical situations.
