Description

This contribution reports the findings of a study with approximately 400 secondary school students in Germany. These students were introduced to a physics problem and had different opportunities to handle hypotheses, before analysing measurement data. First results indicate that if students have high data competencies, then the hypothesis does not influence students’ data-based conclusions. However, this is not the case if students have weak data competencies. Students’ confidence in their hypotheses does not seem to influence their data-based conclusions.
