Abstract
This chapter discusses the development of a one semester course for preservice teachers at the university level based on intensive use of simulation software. The course is designed to deepen the understanding of inference. Some design ideas for the course are presented. One major aspect of students’ work was to reflect in written form on their own statistical learning process for each of the five topics. An analysis of these reflections shows that the statistical learning process is closely related with the practiced handling of the software. Many positive statements in the reflections show where the design of the course worked well and which aspects have been understood by students. Statements concerning difficulties identify aspects for a future redesign of the course.
