Willem Keppens; Mieke De Cock; Hans Van Winckel; Wim Van Dooren; Jan Sermeus – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Estimating astronomical scales requires multiple complex mental processes, such as spatial thinking and interpreting large numbers. As such, it is a nontrivial question how these estimates can be most efficiently assessed. There is reason to believe that results from previous studies probing astronomical scale estimates are possibly susceptible to…

Eric Wearne; John Thompson – Journal of School Choice, 2024
One schooling sector that had been growing before the pandemic, hybrid schools, in which students attend physical classes fewer than five days per week and are homeschooled on the other days, has seen recent continued growth. One factor that has not been explored is the commuting patterns families follow to use these schools. Whether families…

Seperuelo Duarte, E.; Mota, A. T.; de Carvalho, J. R.; Xavier, R. C.; Souza, P. V. S. – Physics Education, 2021
In this paper, we present a physical modeling activity whose objective is to allow students to determine the differences between a disk and a sphere using pure scientific criteria. Thereunto, we reproduce the Sun-Earth-Moon system with low-cost materials and compare the illumination effects on the Moon considering two possible shapes for it (a…

Jennifer L. Steele – Education Economics, 2024
The question of why postsecondary institutions produce different labor market outcomes is difficult to answer due to unobserved student characteristics. Here, I leverage students' geographic proximity to three classifications of postsecondary institutions -- earnings-enhancing, competitive, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).…

Quintero-Fragozo, Camilo; Cortés, Yasna; Sarrias, Mauricio – Journal of Education Policy, 2023
This study analyzes the effect of spatial competition on public schools' efficiency in Chile, an extreme case of market-oriented reforms in the educational sector. To address this issue, we use a measure of competition that captures three major characteristics of market competition in a spatial context: the number of competitors, based on distance…

What drives parents to decide to send their children to a particular type or stream of schooling over another? Existing literature suggests that parents take several factors into account while making their children's school choice: the academic reputation of the school, the distance between the child's home and school, a stronger focus on…

Thomas, Matthew; Bryson, John R. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2021
COVID-19 forced universities to engage in rapid improvisation and adoption of online learning and teaching. This paper explores "real-time blended" learning in which online students are taught simultaneously with students who are experiencing proximate learning. Two cliques could develop with those learning online becoming observers…

In these three studies, I analyze data from the Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) to investigate how labor markets for early-career music teachers are related to the ongoing music teacher shortage in Maryland. In the first study, I explore the transition from postsecondary graduation into the public-school music teacher workforce. In the…

Rodriguez-Segura, Daniel; Kim, Brian Heseung – Grantee Submission, 2021
With recent advances in high-resolution satellite imagery and machine vision algorithms, fine-grain geospatial data on population are now widely available: kilometer-by-kilometer, worldwide. In this paper, we showcase how researchers and policymakers in developing countries can leverage these novel data to precisely identify "education…
