Abstract
This study aims to analyze the level of statistical literacy among students of the Elementary School Teacher Education program (PGSD) at Medan State University (UNIMED) in the context of the learning the Educational Statistics course. Statistical literacy is a crucial skill for future educators, enabling them to understand, interpret, and apply data accurately and critically. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The sample consisted of 119 students randomly selected from several classes that had completed the Educational Statistics course. The instrument used was a validated statistical literacy questionnaire covering aspects such as conceptual understanding, data interpretation, and the application of statistics. The findings revealed that most students demonstrated a moderate level of statistical literacy, with notable weaknesses in interpreting data and applying statistics in real-world educational scenarios. These results highlight the need for more contextual and application-oriented teaching strategies to enhance students’ statistical literacy.
