Kasprowicz, Tomasz; Musumeci, Jim – Journal of Statistics Education, 2015
One econometric rule of thumb is that greater dispersion in observations of the independent variable improves estimates of regression coefficients and therefore produces better results, i.e., lower standard errors of the estimates. Nevertheless, students often seem to mistrust precisely the observations that contribute the most to this greater…

Marshall, Jill A.; Petrosino, Anthony J.; Martin, Taylor – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
We present results of an investigation of preservice secondary mathematics and science teachers' conceptions of project-based instruction (PBI) and their enactments of PBI in apprentice (student) teaching. We evaluated their thinking and implementations within a composite framework based on the work of education researchers. We analyzed survey…

Shen, Ji; Confrey, Jere – International Journal of Science Education, 2010
Understanding frames of reference is critical in describing planetary motion and learning astronomy. Historically, the geocentric and heliocentric models were defended and advocated against each other. Today, there are still many people who do not understand the relationship between the two models. This topic is not adequately treated in astronomy…

City, Elizabeth A.; Elmore, Richard F.; Fiarman, Sarah E.; Teitel, Lee – Harvard Education Press, 2009
Walk into any school in America and you will see adults who care deeply about their students and are doing the best they can every day to help students learn. But you will also see a high degree of variability among classrooms--much higher than in most other industrialized countries. Today we are asking schools to do something they have never done…
