Regression in high school: An empirical analysis of Spanish textbooks

Year: 2015

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the presentation of regression in Spanish school textbooks aimed at Social Sciences students. In a sample of eight textbooks we analyzed the problem-fields and suggested procedures, as well as the associated concepts, which are classified according to the way they are introduced and the properties associated with them. Our results suggest that these textbooks mostly reduce regression to lineal regression, present many properties at an operational level without deep discussion of their meaning, and there is a great variety between the textbooks. Some suggestions to improve the presentation of this topic are included.
