Some of these studies point out that the organization of data into a double entry table presents difficulties for primary and secondary school students. The present study analyzes the following: 1) the level of competency of primary and secondary school students in constructing a double entry table from a set of data and 2) the main difficulties encountered by these students during the task. Our findings showed that the percentage of middle school students who succeeded in contructing a conventional table was relatively low, and the number did not significantly increase over four school years. A set of difficulties is identified and discussed in terms of cognitive and graphical processes25 p.application/pdfeng(c) Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada, Lisboa, Portugal and Springer Science+Business Media, 2011Alfabetització visualCognicióEducació primàriaEducació secundàriaVisual literacyCognitionPrimary educationSecondary educationThe construction of a double-entry table: a study of primary and secondary school students' difficultiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5795502016-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
