Vahid Roshanaei; Bahman Naderi; Opher Baron; Dmitry Krass – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2024
We present an interactive spreadsheet that supports teaching essential concepts in classification using the logistic regression (LoR) model for binary classification. The interactive spreadsheet demonstrates the capabilities of LoR by integrating computation with visualization. Students will reinforce concepts like probabilities, maximum…

Thin-Yin Leong; Nang-Laik Ma – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2024
This paper develops a spreadsheet simulation methodology for teaching simulation and performance analysis of priority queues with multiple servers, without resorting to macros, add-ins, or array formula. The approach is made possible by a "single overtaking" simplifying assumption under which any lower-priority customer may be passed in…

Atteeq Razzak – Pythagoras, 2024
During the pandemic and lockdown situations of the last few years, we transitioned to online, physical, and hybrid education approaches at various times. We had difficulty teaching multiple calculus and analytical geometry units online. In light of the current situation, a graphical user interface (GUI) teaching tool has been developed to teach…

Gómez Siurana, Amparo; Font Escamilla, Alicia – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
Examples of applications of equilibrium-based methods for multicomponent separations usually require the use of simulation packages, which do not allow students to follow the involved algorithms step by step. Excel spreadsheets with examples of six such rigorous methods have been used with MSc students of Chemical Engineering of the University of…

Bandar Marzoog Almutairi – Educational Process: International Journal, 2025
Background/purpose: This study addresses the lack of statistical thinking skills among Applied College students, a key requirement for professional success. Traditional statistics education focuses on procedural and computational methods rather than conceptual understanding, leading to misconceptions and difficulties in data organization,…

Kuang, Serena Y. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Countercurrent multiplication (CCM) is widely accepted as the mechanism for the generation of the corticopapillary osmotic gradient in the outer medulla of mammalian kidneys. However, several issues in the literature cause the current explanations of CCM to be inefficient and incomplete. As a result, it is challenging to clearly explain CCM in…

Yasemin Kahyaoglu Erdogmus; Adile Askim Kurt – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study investigated pedagogical agent (with/without) and feedback (explanatory/confirmatory) types on achievement, flow experience, and cognitive load in a digital game-based learning environment. We developed a game about spreadsheets and prepared four versions of the game in the context of pedagogical agent and feedback types. Through the…

Cervantes Juárez, Erika; Sánchez Guzmán, Daniel – Physics Education, 2023
In many science and engineering undergraduate programmes, physics courses are fundamental and can be seen as a potential place where students can develop complementary abilities such as the computational thinking process. The present work proposes and describes the learning science and engineering with electronic spreadsheets cycle (LSEESC)…

Wang, Hai; Wang, Shouhong – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2023
NoSQL databases have been used in organizations for decades. Few database textbooks on the market, however, have suitable materials about NoSQL beyond general introductions for typical business students. In fact, users of the typical NoSQL systems on the software market need to have certain computer programming skills. This teaching tip introduces…

Mangiero, George A.; Qayyum, Arif; Cante, Charles J. – Journal of Education for Business, 2022
In this paper the authors present a unique approach to teaching introductory statistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The approach uses a feature in Excel called "spinners" to dynamically adjust key variables, such as sample size, confidence levels, and probabilities, among others, to enable an expanded discussion of…

Ali, Shahid I.; Fitzpatrick, Brian D. – Journal of Education for Business, 2019
The authors' objective was to uncover the difference in competency when teaching Excel to undergraduate students on two distinct and discrete operating platforms. The authors calibrated competency by comparing scores of MOS-EXCEL Certification Test results. The authors conclude that the null hypothesis indicating no difference in mean scores of…
