To this end, a total of 61 studies performed at elementary school level (5-8th grades) in Turkey, including 34 papers, 24 theses and 3 dissertations were reviewed and subjected to content analysis. To reach relevant studies, the literature was reviewed within the concepts of probability, data processing, graphics and statistical thinking/literacy. The findings were categorized into themes including keywords, methods, designs, sample sizes, instruments, data analysis methods and objectives and results of the research. The data was interpreted based on percentage and frequency, and the findings were presented in tables. Based on the findings obtained, it was determined that most of the studies have been performed to examine the effectiveness of teaching methods suitable of being used in Data and Probability. It was also found that the most commonly used methods are quantitative methods and the most commonly used designs are experimental designs, and that the data have been obtained mostly through achievement tests. When the results of the studies have been examined, it was concluded that the most effective learning method is cooperative learning, and that the biggest challenge is related to line chart %K Veri £¿£¿leme %K Olas£¿l£¿k %K £¿statistik %K £¿£¿erik Analizi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/egeefd/issue/45060/489275
