Abstract
This article shows that there are 5 probable
types of students?| knowing conceptions of probability according to the
study of the fundamental formal probability knowledge and the analysis
of the clinic interview to two elementary school pupils. These 5 patterns
of knowing conception are the conceptions of an element as a unit, of
an event as a unit, of an event as a composite unit, of holistic reunitization
within a whole, and of holistic norming within and between wholes. In
addition, this paper also reveals that holistic reunitization and holistic
norming are the crucial conceptions of knowing about the probability for
concrete datasets. These points are more interesting than before.
