Abstract: This paper provides an overview of current research on teaching and learning statistics, summarizing studies that have been conducted by researchers from different disciplines and focused on students at all levels. The review is organized by general research questions addressed, and suggests what can be learned from the results of each of these questions. The implications of the research are described in terms of eight principles for learning statistics from Garfield (1995) which are revisited in the light of results from current studies. Cet article présente une vue d'ensemble de la recherche actuelle sur l'enseignement et l'étude de la statistique. Il résume les analyses qui ont été menées par des chercheurs de disciplines différentes. Le travail s'organise autour de questions de recherche générales qui ont été adressées, et suggère ce que l'on peut apprendre à partir de ces résultats au sujet de chacune de ces questions. Les implications de la recherche sont décrites en termes de huit principes sur l'étude de la statistique de Garfield (1995) qui sont repris selon les résultats d'études actuelles.
