Abstract
Students’ learning outcomes can be influenced by the intended curriculum as the main guidelines for teachers in facilitating their students to learn. Comparative study can be conducted to evaluate to what extent the intended curriculum of a country is designed to give an opportunity for students to learn compared to the other countries. The present comparative study was aimed at describing the similarities and differences between Indonesia and New Zealand in facilitating their students in learning statistics. To gain this objective, the official documents of curriculum of those Countries were analyzed qualitatively. The analysis was focused on the expected competence. The results show that New Zealand provides more facilities for their students in learning statistics through statistical investigation and literacy than Indonesia. At the particular level, both Indonesia and New Zealand give the same content but the depth of the discussions given to their students is different. These results could be beneficial for both countries as well as the others as the consideration to improve the quality of their curriculum.
