RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS IN PROBABILITY EDUCATION

In the topic study group on probability at ICME 11 a variety of ideas on probability education<br>were presented. Some of the papers have been developed further by the driving ideas of interactivity and use<br>of the potential of electronic publishing. As often happens, the medium of research influences the results and<br>thus - not surprisingly - the research change its character during this process. This paper provides a summary<br>of the main threads of research in probability education across the world and the result of an experiment in<br>electronic communication. For convenience of international readers, abstracts in Spanish and German have<br>been supplied, as well as hints for navigation to linked electronic materials.
