Abstract
Statistical literacy is one’s ability to understand and evaluate statistical results to make personal and professional decisions (Wallman, 1992). Different frameworks were developed to explore the conceptual structure of statistical literacy (e.g., Gal, 2002; Watson & Callingham, 2003). Zieffler et al. (2008) commented on the importance of having reliable and valid measurements of statistical literacy along with its frameworks. This systematic literature review will examine the characteristics of existing instruments of statistical literacy and provide a comprehensive summary of each instrument. Potential approaches for future research will be discussed to finalize this project.
