Hilliker, Angela K.; Grayson, Kristine L. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
As biologists accumulate or encounter increasingly large and complex data sets, our field creates the need for students to develop skills in data exploration and visualization. Many biology courses lack the time for students to develop the skills needed to parse complex datasets and visualize them appropriately. We developed a new upper-level…

Rea, Stephen C. – Information and Learning Sciences, 2022
Purpose: This paper aims to offer practical guidance on teaching about digital extremism -- defined here as the intersection of digital disinformation campaigns with political extremism -- by highlighting four pedagogical challenges: the danger of unintentionally "redpilling" students; the slippery slope to false equivalency and…

Oliveira, David Manuel Duarte; Pedro, Luís; Santos, Carlos – Smart Learning Environments, 2021
This paper was developed within the scope of a PhD thesis that intends to characterize the use of mobile applications by the students of the University of Aveiro during class time. The main purpose of this paper is to present the results of an initial pilot study that aimed to fine-tune data collection methods in order to gather data that…

Beck, Jori S.; Morgan, Joseph John; Brown, Nancy; Whitesides, Heather; Riddle, Derek R. – Educational Forum, 2020
The current study explored preservice and inservice teachers' perspectives on data literacy for teaching. Semi-structured interviews were employed with 12 teacher candidates in elementary and special education. The findings revealed participants' misconceptions regarding formative and summative data; their understanding of the value of formative…

Erman, Erman – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
This study aims to identify students' misconceptions regarding covalent bonds. Seventy-seven graduate students in the middle of Indonesia participated in the study. Data were collected in three stages. First, misconceptions were identified by using the Semi Open Diagnostic Test. Ten students who experienced the worst misconceptions were…

Pérez-Lemonche, Ángel; Drury, Byron Coffin; Pritchard, David – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
We analyze results from paired pre- and post-instruction administration of the Mechanics Baseline Test to 2238 students in introductory mechanics classes. We investigate pairs of specific wrong answers given with unusual frequency by students on the pretest. We also identify transitions between pre- and post-test answers on the same question which…

Taçgin, Zeynep; Arslan, Ahmet – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
The purpose of this study is to determine perception of postgraduate Computer Education and Instructional Technologies (CEIT) students regarding the concepts of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), Augmented Virtuality (AV) and Mirror Reality; and to offer a table that includes differences and similarities between…

Tobin, Thomas J. – Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, 2015
Administrators at many colleges and universities have had online courses at their institutions for many years, now. One of the hidden challenges about online courses is that they tend to be observed and evaluated far less frequently than their face-to-face course counterparts. This is party due to the fact that many of us administrators today…

Bretz, Stacey Lowery; McClary, LaKeisha – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
Most organic chemistry reactions occur by a mechanism that includes acid-base chemistry, so it is important that students develop and learn to use correct conceptions of acids and acid strength. Recent studies have described undergraduate organic chemistry students' cognitive resources related to the Brønsted-Lowry acid model and the Lewis acid…

Francek, Mark – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
This paper organizes and analyses over 500 geoscience misconceptions relating to earthquakes, earth structure, geologic resources, glaciers, historical geology, karst (limestone terrains), plate tectonics, rivers, rocks and minerals, soils, volcanoes, and weathering and erosion. Journal and reliable web resources were reviewed to discover (1) the…

Casleton, Emily; Beyler, Amy; Genschel, Ulrike; Wilson, Alyson – Journal of Statistics Education, 2014
Undergraduate students who have just completed an introductory statistics course often lack deep understanding of variability and enthusiasm for the field of statistics. This paper argues that by introducing the commonly underemphasized concept of measurement error, students will have a better chance of attaining both. We further present lecture…

Baum, Sandy; Cunningham, Alisa; Tanenbaum, Courtney – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2015
The level of educational attainment in the United States is a central focus of public policy. The Obama administration, some states, large national foundations, and other organizations have set near-term goals to increase the number of Americans with college degrees. Achieving these goals is likely to involve a combination of increasing…

Pawl, Andrew; Teodorescu, Raluca E.; Peterson, Joseph D. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
We have developed simple data-mining algorithms to assess the consistency and the randomness of student responses to problems consisting of multiple true or false statements. In this paper we describe the algorithms and use them to analyze data from introductory physics courses. We investigate statements that emerge as outliers because the class…

Chung, Gregory K. W. K. – Teachers College Record, 2014
Background: Historically, significant advances in scientific understanding have followed advances in measurement and observation. As the resolving power of an instrument increased, so have gains in the understanding of the phenomena being observed. Modern interactive systems are potentially the new "microscopes" when they are…

National Forum on Education Statistics, 2010
This document is the first installment of this Forum (National Forum on Education Statistics) series of guides on longitudinal data systems (LDS). This book focuses on the fundamental questions of what an LDS is (and what it is not), what steps should be taken to achieve a sound system, what components make up an ideal system, and why such a…
