Abuzir, Yousef – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2018
At present, there is a huge amount of unstructured documentation that is generated by students who study the course project management and evaluation. These unstructured documents cannot be used in direct processing to extract useful information or knowledge. At the same time, make use of them to assess student achievement. In this work, we…

Bracke, Marianne S.; Weiner, Sharon A.; Nixon, Judith M.; Deatherage, Scott – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2012
The purpose of this paper was to identify existing criteria that may be considered in evaluating journals in the scholarship of teaching and learning in agriculture, natural resources, and the life sciences. This can assist faculty authors and evaluators of promotion and tenure cases to explain indicators of the quality of the publications. The…

Hyona, Jukka – Learning and Instruction, 2010
This commentary focuses on the use of the eye-tracking methodology to study cognitive processes during multimedia learning. First, some general remarks are made about how the method is applied to investigate visual information processing, followed by a reflection on the eye movement measures employed in the studies published in this special issue.…

Burnett, John E.; And Others – Journal of Documentation, 1979
Analyzes a study of the effect of controlled variations in indexing vocabulary size on retrieval performance, using the Cranfield 200 and 1400 test collections. Sets of variable-length character strings were tested, in an application of the Cluster Hypothesis and in a series of linear associative retrieval experiments. (Author/SW)

Burgin, Robert – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
Examines the retrieval effectiveness of five hierarchical clustering methods (single link, complete link, group average, Ward's method, and weighted average) as a function of indexing exhaustivity with four test collections. Evaluations of retrieval effectiveness are based on three measures of optimal retrieval performance. (Author/LRW)

Buell, Duncan A.; Kraft, Donald H. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981
Analyzes the nature of Boolean information retrieval in relation to the discrete weights of query terms, examines assigned weights from an approach involving thresholds, and generates an evaluation mechanism which allows the user to attach a threshold to the query term. Thirteen references are listed. (FM)

Rada, Roy; Bicknell, Ellen – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1989
Describes exploratory experiments in evaluating and improving a thesaurus through studying its effect on retrieval. A formula was developed to measure the conceptual distance between queries and documents encoded as sets of thesaurus terms. Comparison to the performance of people judging conceptual distance shows that the formula accurately…

Damerau, Fred J. – Information Processing and Management, 1990
Discusses methods for automatically compiling domain-oriented vocabularies in natural language systems and describes techniques for evaluating the quality of the resulting word lists. A study is described that used subject headings from Grolier's Encyclopedia and the United Press International newswire, and filters for removing high frequency…
