Marhan Taufik; Reni Dwi Susanti – Pedagogical Research, 2024
This research examines the application of students' computational thinking (CT) in solving numerical method problems through computer software. Data collection involved observing their learning process and conducting tests to evaluate their CT skills within the context of the root approach material using Newton-Raphson method. The results indicate…

Muchsini, Binti; Siswandari; Gunarhadi; Wiranto – Cogent Education, 2023
Computational thinking is seen as a basic and essential skill in the 21st century, but its development issue in accounting education is still relatively limited. Therefore, anchored in Wing's (2006) computational thinking theory, this study makes a case for developing problem-solving skills, which involve abstraction, decomposition,…

Brusco, Michael J. – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2022
There are a variety of discrete facility location models that have practical relevance for operations management and management science courses. Integer linear programming (ILP) is the standard technique for solving such problems. An alternative approach that is often conceptually appealing to students is to pose the problem as one of finding the…

Donald Conant – Journal of Education for Business, 2023
For years, researchers have recognized the expectation within the business community that business school graduates possess a working knowledge of spreadsheet applications. Academics continue to seek effective ways to teach these skills in an academic setting. This exercise uses Wordle, a five-letter word guessing game, to teach students…

Salas-Velasco, Manuel – Journal of Education for Business, 2021
The author focused on solving problems of third-degree price discrimination under a monopoly by integrating microeconomic theory and spreadsheet modeling. Price discrimination refers to a firm situation in which the same good is sold to different groups of consumers at different prices. First, the author included an introductory math background…

Brusco, Michael – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2022
Logistic regression is one of the most fundamental tools in predictive analytics. Graduate business analytics students are often familiarized with implementation of logistic regression using Python, R, SPSS, or other software packages. However, an understanding of the underlying maximum likelihood model and the mechanics of estimation are often…

Ammar, Salwa; Kim, Min Jung; Masoumi, Amir H.; Tomoiaga, Alin – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2023
Over the past few years, academics have undertaken initiatives to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the ever-growing field of business analytics, including implementing real-life student projects in all shapes and forms. Every year since 2015, Manhattan College has invited student teams from across North America and elsewhere in the…

Andrew Kercher; Canan Günes; Rina Zazkis – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Extant research has demonstrated that problem-posing and problem-solving mutually affect one another. However, the exact nature and extent of this relationship requires a detailed elaboration. This is especially true when adidactical problem-posing arises within a problem-solving context. In this study, we analyze the scripting journey used by two…

Wellington, John F.; Lewis, Stephen A. – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2021
The simple vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a common topic of discussion in introductory operations research/management science courses. The VRP can be framed in a variety of ways, and it can be difficult to solve to optimality. For solution purposes, introductory textbooks demonstrate how Excel's Evolutionary Solver (ES) add-in produces a…

da Silva, Ricardo Scucuglia Rodrigues; Barbosa, Lara Martins; Borba, Marcelo C.; Ferreira, André Luis Andrejew – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
In this research we investigate how mathematics teachers, as graduate students, estimate the value of [pi] by exploring the problem of "squaring the circle" using digital technology. Initially, we mention some aspects of teaching and learning of calculus in the literature, emphasizing studies that use the notion of humans-with-media to…

Magalhães, Alexandre L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A bachelor's degree program in chemistry typically starts with basic concepts in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Those principles are very important because they pave the ground for future advanced studies and, therefore, one needs to present them in a clear but rigorous way. One example is provided by the mathematical notion of an iterative…

Park, Taewoo; Ellis, Yvonne – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2020
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of randomized versus nonrandomized data using an Excel case study project to measure students' academic performance. Specifically, the study examines whether randomized data strengthens students' analytical, problem-solving, and Excel skills while manipulating and analyzing accounting data. The…

Gero, Aharon; Levin, Ilya – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
The invention of the computer has led to the establishment of a new research paradigm, computation, which has recently become more and more popular in scientific exploration. However, computation is not well represented in high school and university curricula in science and engineering, although it applies to a wide range of disciplines beyond…

Patzer, A. Beate C.; Bauer, Hans; Chang, Christian; Bolte, Jan; Su¨lzle, Detlev – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
The scale-invariant way to analyze two-dimensional experimental and theoretical data with statistical errors in both the independent and dependent variables is revisited by using what we call the triangular linear regression method. This is compared to the standard least-squares fit approach by applying it to typical simple sets of example data…

Letkowski, Jerzy – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2018
Single-period inventory models with uncertain demand are very well known in the business analytics community. Typically, such models are rule-based functions, or sets of functions, of one decision variable (order quantity) and one random variable (demand). In academics, the models are taught selectively and usually not completely. Students are…
