Abstract: 

This communication describes the first results obtained from an exploratory study carried out with primary-school teachers about their conceptions with respect to a fundamental aspect of probabilistic knowledge: The notion of the concept of randomness. The results obtained indicate the partial and poorly formed character of their conceptions and indicate the necessity of developing specific training on probabilistic knowledge, its learning and teaching, based on the aforementioned conceptions.
