Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the student's Statistical Literacy model in Statistics learning in Higher Education. Researchers conducted an in-depth study of student statistical literacy, how they understand and apply statistics, how statistics are used as a tool for reliable data that can be trusted as scientific works. The research method uses qualitative research methods with a Grounded Theory approach. Participants involved in this study were 114 participants from several universities in West Java, Indonesia. The results of this study found a student statistical literacy model consisting of 2 dimensions and 5 elements. Dimensions of Statistical Knowledge: Descriptive Statistics, Inference Statistics, Statistical Communication and Statistical Reasoning. Attitude Dimensions: Confidence and Critical Attitude.
