Abstract: 

The importance of statistical graphics, as well as their practical use in day-to-day scientific research, makes it worth assessing and appraising teachers' conceptions concerning this matter. Accordingly, we should shed some light on the most specific components of dealing with such graphics as understood by math secondary level teachers. At the end, we try to give some guidelines that could be useful when elaborating on a content for teachers' training.
