# Innovating Statistics Education: The Design of a Novel App Using Design Thinking
## 5 Results: EstApp
### The Iterative Process for Designing \"EstApp\"
Compared to applications like Kahoot and Mentimeter, which focus primarily on immediate interaction and participation through live quizzes and surveys, EstApp offers a more comprehensive and in-depth experience for teaching statistics by providing tools such as the Probability Calculator and Data Visualizer. These functionalities are designed not only to capture students' attention but also to improve their statistical reasoning through interactive data visualization and real-time probabilistic calculations. On the other hand, while tools like Codap, Rossmanchance, Fathom, and ArtofStat also include simulations and visualizations, EstApp stands out for its user-friendly and interactive interface that incorporates gamification elements, as well as its AI Tutor, which assists students in their learning process. \begin{table}

**Design Consideration Proposed by** **[PERSON] et al. [6]** & **EstApp Functionalities** & **How It Was Considered in the Design of EstApp** \\ \hline Focus on developing core statistical ideas rather than tools and procedures & Probability Calculator, Data Visualizer, AI Tutor & EstApp focuses on fundamental statistical concepts, such as distributions and probabilities, through tools that allow students to understand and explore statistical ideas. \\ \hline Use well-designed tasks to support the development of statistical reasoning & AI Tutor, Surveys, Data Generator & The tasks within EstApp are designed to guide students in solving real-world statistical problems. The AI Tutor provides immediate and personalized feedback, fostering the development of statistical reasoning. \\ \hline Use of real, realistic, and motivating datasets & Data Visualizer, Data Generator, Data Upload (TXT, CSV, Excel) & EstApp enables students to work with both real and simulated data, encouraging the practical application of statistical concepts. \\ \hline Establish a classroom culture that encourages statistical arguments & AI Tutor, Interactive Feedback & The AI Tutor promotes dialogue and critical thinking by having students ask questions about topics they do not fully understand, fostering a culture of autonomous and personalized learning. \\ \hline Use assessments to monitor students’ development of statistical learning and evaluate instructional plans & Progress Reports, Surveys, AI Tutor Feedback & EstApp monitors students’ progress through reports that track their performance on tasks, providing feedback. Teachers can use this information to adjust lessons and improve learning outcomes. \\ \hline Integrate the use of technological tools that allow students to explore and analyze data & Data Visualizer, Probability Calculator, Data Generator, AI Tutor & EstApp integrates technological tools allowing students to manipulate data and explore results. These tools encourage autonomous exploration and data analysis, facilitating active learning. \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}
