Every day people are offered various statistical data which needs to be analysed, interpreted and compared with previous knowledge in different areas of life (economy, demography…). In order to be able to use said data in everyday life, knowledge from the field of statistics is required. This master’s thesis deals with the problem of implementation of statistics content in primary education of mathematics and encompasses the analysis of those contents and guidelines according to National Framework Curriculum and Framework of the National Curriculum. These documents emphasize that every student should acquire the ability to collect, organize, graphically display and analyse and adopt attitudes and conclusions based on the given data. The thesis includes examples of statistical tasks appropriate for primary education of mathematics. The attitudes of fourth year students of the Čakovec Department of the Faculty of Teacher Education about teaching statistics have been surveyed in the research part of the thesis, through questionnaires and workshop intervention with adequate statistics tasks. The students would consider themselves competent to teach statistics content on primary education level after professional training. Furthermore, after the workshop was completed most of the students registered the importance of knowledge of statistics and expressed the attitude that it is desirable to introduce statistics content into primary education of mathematics. The students are somewhat familiar with statistics content, but the necessity to introduce statistics content into Methodology of Mathematics courses is evident.
