Abstract

The objective of this study were to 1) develop framework of statistical literacy and 2) statistical literacy character of Rajabhat Mahasarakham University students. The samples were randomed by stratified sampling 27 students. Data was analyzed by protocol analysis, task analysis and analytic description.
The results were the following; 1) Statistical literacy framework which composed of process of data collecting, process of data analyzing, process of data distribution, process of hypothesis testing, process of analysis of variance and process of association data 2) Characteristics statistical literacy. The first process is process of collecting, Most of students hare statistical literacy character at the 1st level. The second process is process of analyzing data, for overall characteristics statistical literacy of students at are the 2nd level which mostly. The third five process is process of reasoning about distribution data for overall characteristics statistical literacy of students are at the 2nd which level mostly. The Fourth process is of process of reasoning about hypothesis testing for overall characteristics statistical literacy of students are at the 3rd which level mostly. The Fifth process is of reasoning about analysis of variance for overall characteristics statistical literacy of students are at the 3rd which level mostly. The Sixth process is of process of association data for overall characteristics statistical literacy of students are at the 4th which level mostly.
