Abstract
The research objective was to see the empirical relationship between statistical communication competence and student reasoning with statistical literacy in understanding descriptive statistics. This research is a qualitative research using the Grounded Theory approach. The reason researchers use the Grounded Theory approach is because researchers expect conjectural findings or theories about student literacy models. A total of 36 participants were selected from students who are currently studying Descriptive Statistics in Bandung, Indonesia. Three main procedures in Grounded Theory: Open Coding, Axial Coding and Selective coding are used to analyze data from open coding to discovering students^ statistical literacy theories and models. The results of the research prove that the competence of reasoning and statistical communication of students which results in student literacy statistics is also good. The model of student statistical literacy is descriptive statistics which is one of the dimensions of student statistical literacy which includes: the ability to read and summarize data, and the ability to read and produce the results of research reports.
