ABSTRACT: A good teaching and learning session is much more dependent on the
aspects of the teacher’s subject content knowledge, pedagogical content
knowledge and technological content knowledge. All these elements could be
developed through the teacher’s continuous effort and require the teacher’s professional
development in using digital technology. Integrating digital technology in
teaching and learning plays a big role in effective instruction. It became
essential in providing a meaningful learning experience for the students. This
study is a conceptualization of the trends of using technology in the teaching
of statistics and probability using digital technology. This study explored the
learning environment for statistics and probability. Qualitative explorations
were used to identify trends in how statistics and probability websites and
online applications were used. The result demonstrates the emerging trends in
teaching and learning statistics and probability by integrating digital
technology which could enhance students’ statical and probability thinking.
Hence, it can be concluded that teachers should focus more on the ability to
use digital technology as well as statistical knowledge and pedagogical
knowledge. The implications are teachers’ effective instruction and
communication, students’ learning motivation and could improve students’
mathematics achievement. In conclusion, this study recommended that teachers
should include using digital technology in their statistics and probability
teaching and learning. The development of teaching and learning skills using
digital technology could enhance students’ abilities like critical thinking,
data analysis, and mathematical reasoning. To maximize the advantages of using
digital technology in the classroom teachers need to concentrate on improving
students’ learning skills in probability statistics and pay attention to the technical
aspect of teaching statistics and probability using digital technology.
