Summary: The results of this study indicate that students struggle to produce proficient analysis and interpretations of data. The areas of student struggle were the areas that required higher-order thinking: analyzing results, drawing conclusions, and communicating results. Furthermore, this research discusses areas of data analysis instruction that may benefit from professional development opportunities.
