Sažetak
During the last two years, the Covid-19 pandemic had a secondary effect of increased media content loaded with mathematical, often probabilistic information (and misinformation). We shall present the results of our current study, which investigates the probabilistic thinking processes, misconceptions, biases, and fallacies in conditional probability reasoning of mathematics teacher candidates in the context of the pandemic. Our findings confirm the previous findings on biases and fallacies related to conditional probability problems with a social context. They also reveal that pre-service mathematics teachers apparently separate the content learned in the classroom from the application of the knowledge in critical examination of the information to which they are daily exposed to by the media.
