Alrik Thiem; Lusine Mkrtchyan – Field Methods, 2024
Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is an empirical research method that has gained some popularity in the social sciences. At the same time, the literature has long been convinced that QCA is prone to committing causal fallacies when confronted with non-causal data. More specifically, beyond a certain case-to-factor ratio, the method is…

Onwuegbuzie, Anthony J.; Hwang, Eunjin – Research in the Schools, 2019
Much has been written about the importance of "writing with discipline" in order to increase the readability and, hence, the publishability of manuscripts submitted to journals for consideration for publication. More specifically, empirical evidence has been provided that links American Psychological Association (APA) errors, citation…

Ceuppens, Stijn; Deprez, Johan; Dehaene, Wim; De Cock, Mieke – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
This study reports on the development, validation, and administration of a 48-item multiple-choice test to assess students' representational fluency of linear functions in a physics context (1D kinematics) and a mathematics context. The test includes three external representations: graphs, tables, and formulas, which result in six possible…

Csernoch, Mária; Biró, Piroska – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2016
Sprego is programming with spreadsheet functions. The present paper provides introductory Sprego examples which have so far only been available in Hungarian. Spreadsheet environments offer both a programming tool which best serves beginner and end-user programmers' interest, and an approach which lightens the burden of coding and language details.…

Drabenstott, Karen M. – Information Technology and Libraries, 1992
Reports results of a study that examined Library of Congress topical subject headings and subdivisions in a large bibliographic database. Creation of a new machine-readable authority file of topical subdivisions and enhancements to the existing subject authority file are recommended to assist in assignment and validation of subdivided headings.…

Sun, Wei; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1992
Identifies types and distributions of errors in text produced by optical character recognition (OCR) and proposes a process using machine learning techniques to recognize and correct errors in OCR texts. Results of experiments indicating that this strategy can reduce human interaction required for error correction are reported. (25 references)…

Pierson, Joan K.; Horn, Jeretta A. – AEDS Journal, 1984
Unsuccessful programing attempts by university business students in introductory COBOL classes were analyzed to determine most frequently occurring syntactical errors. Results indicate the most common errors were use of undeclared data in Procedure Division, missing periods, misspelled reserved words, missing hyphens, and use of wrong margin area.…

Katz, Barry M.; McSweeney, Maryellen – Journal of Experimental Education, 1979
Errors of misclassification and their effects on categorical data analysis are discussed. The chi-square test for equality of two proportions is examined in the context of errorful categorical data. The effects of such errors are illustrated. A correction procedure is developed and discussed. (Author/MH)

Bell, Jo Ann; Speer, Susan – College and Research Libraries, 1988
Describes a study that examined the necessity for prerequest bibliographic verification for interlibrary loans by identifying request error patterns and critical bibliographic elements. The discussion analyzes the effectiveness of a modified verification process, in which the interlibrary loan technician decides which requests to verify, in terms…

Nahl, Diane – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1995
This report includes data on the cognitive and affective behavior of college students who were given the tasks of interpreting and formulating Boolean search statements. Two versions of written point-of-use instructions on Boolean searching, affectively elaborated and unelaborated, were given to investigate comprehension, self-confidence, and…

Allwood, Carl Martin – Cognitive Science: A Multidisciplinary Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Psychology and Language, 1984
Describes a study which analyzed problem solvers' error detection processes by instructing subjects to think aloud when solving statistical problems. Effects of evaluative episodes on error detection, detection of different error types, error detection processes per se, and relationship of error detection behavior to problem-solving proficiency…

Ballard, Terry; Lifshin, Arthur – Information Technology and Libraries, 1992
Reports on a study that examined spelling errors of keywords in a university library online catalog. Data are presented on distribution of errors by machine-readable catalog (MARC) field location, part of speech, origin of the bibliographic record, and error type. Commonly misspelled word roots and specific mistakes are listed. (12 references)…

Romero, Lisa – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 1994
Presents the results of a study of graduate-level library school students to determine the types of errors that appeared on original cataloging copy by entry-level catalogers. Records were analyzed for any errors affecting access, including description, headings, encoding of MARC format, capitalization, and punctuation. Types and percentages of…

Mitchell, Eugene S.; And Others – College and Research Libraries, 1994
Describes a study conducted in 1988 that investigated book availability in an academic library by providing a quantitative measure of library performance based on outcomes of card catalog searches and that can serve as a model for ongoing assessment in the library. Results are compared with earlier research from 1986. (Contains 12 references.)…

Rifkin, Benjamin; Roberts, Felicia D. – Language Learning, 1995
Examines error gravity research design and its theoretical assumptions. Results indicate that investigators have only skimmed the surface of the process of error evaluation, which is shaped by extralinguistic factors. The article concludes that researchers should reconceptualize error gravity research and reassess earlier studies to confirm or…
