This paper investigates secondary pre-service teachers’ strategies of sampling. The work of eight groups of pre-service secondary teachers asked to devise and imple- ment a sampling strategy to answer two questions about three given populations of different sizes are analyzed. The result presented highlights the models devised and used by the groups. The paper especially discusses the pre-service teachers’ models of samplings in term of how the number of samples and sample size used were decided on in the model as fixed, interval-static, or dynamic.
