Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to design student learning trajectories in learning the concept of the importance of hypothesis testing in inferential statistics. This study used design research. Design research consists of three stages, i.e. (1) preparing for the experiment; (2) teaching experiment; and (3) retrospective analysis. This study focused on the first stage, because the main purpose of this research was to develop a series of learning activities to learn the importance of hypothesis testing in inferential statistics. The result of this study is an hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) to find the concept of the importance of hypothesis testing in inferential statistics. HLT was designed using a realistic mathematics education (RME) approach. The context used in designing HLT is to tossed a coin to determine which football team will kick off. Using iceberg, a series of learning trajectories are designed so that students are able to find out by themselves that testing hypotheses is an important concept in proving the assumption that coin is used in balance.
