Abstract:
Individual thinking is driven by intuitions which have nearly no counterpart in the concepts which one learns from theory. This is especially true for stochastics teaching and is the main cause that is not very effective. The author reports about powerful strategies that might bridge the gap between individual intuitions and formal concepts. This gives a clear insight into difficult concepts and changes the behaviour of the learners.
