Abstract
In this paper we present secondary school students’ views on statistical, geospatial and digital literacy. The case study involved 41 High School students in Lesvos Island, Greece who completed the activities of a suitably prepared educational scenario using the digital platform “statistics4school.eu”. The combined results showed that the digital platform’s contribution to the implementation of the activities, with the aid of guided discovery learning as the teaching method, was essential due to the interdisciplinary approach of Statistics, Geography, and ICT, which can support critical thinking and cultivate a combination of the aforementioned literacies.
