Abstract: 

This paper describes the development of the Statistical Reasoning Assessment, an instrument designed to assess students' understanding of probability and statistics for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of new curricular programs and materials. A review of the literature related to assessment of statistical knowledge was used to determine the components and framework for this instrument.
