Semi-structured statistical investigations
In a semi-structured investigation, the context and focus are determined by the task.
The basic outline of the investigation is determined by the task but students are required to make some choices relevant to the context.
Are males better drivers?
These group tasks scaffold an investigation into whether males are better drivers. Student discussions that lead to decisions are required at each phase of the investigation.
