Albuquerque, Maria Luiza F. Q.; Lopes, Charlie Silva; da Silveira, Denis Silva – Journal of Education for Business, 2023
Abstraction in business processes (BP) modeling arises from the recognition of similarities to the detriment of its differences. However, teaching modeling to beginning students in the context of process management is a hard task to perform, given the high level of abstraction required for these students to develop. This paper uses BP fragments to…

Ling Yuan; Chunxiao Meng; Huiyu Hou; Hongzhang Wang; Changwei Pan; Juan Ma; Chenghao Zhu; Qingyu Gao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Nonlinear chemical reactions produce interesting chemohydrodynamic patterns in an unstirred medium, which act as interesting demonstrations to display the novel phenomena in a nonequilibrium chemical system. Here, we report new outreach experiments: pH chemohydrodynamic patterns modulated by sodium polyacrylate in the bromate-sulfite-ferrocyanide…

Gontzis, Andreas F.; Kotsiantis, Sotiris; Panagiotakopoulos, Christos T.; Verykios, Vassilios S. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
Attrition is one of the main concerns in distance learning due to the impact on the incomes and institutions reputation. Timely identification of students at risk has high practical value in effective students' retention services. Big Data mining and machine learning methods are applied to manipulate, analyze and predict students' failure,…

Christine Ladwig; Taylor Webber; Dana Schwieger – Information Systems Education Journal, 2023
Data is a powerful tool for the healthcare industry to use for managing, analyzing, and reporting on critical events in the field. The analysis of broad, salient data files aids healthcare businesses in uncovering hidden patterns, market trends, and customer preferences; these details may then be used to improve the quality and delivery of care to…

Rock, Cheryl; Metzger, Elizabeth; Metzger, Nzinga – Journal of Food Science Education, 2021
Organizational patterns can serve as a teaching strategy for instructors and as a learning tool for students to develop their expository writing skills, which are commonly required for assignments (for example, laboratory reports and research papers) in Food Science courses and in their future careers. The article discusses the importance of…

Schaller, Chris P.; Graham, Kate J.; Jones, T. Nicholas – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Road map problems ask students to integrate their knowledge of organic reactions with pattern recognition skills to "fill in the blanks" in the synthesis of an organic compound. Students are asked to identify familiar organic reactions in unfamiliar contexts. A practical context, such as a medicinally useful target compound, helps…

Kandlbinder, Peter – Higher Education Research and Development, 2012
"Higher Education Research & Development" ("HERD") was established to address a perceived gap in higher education publishing: research of interest to practitioners that was engagingly written. After 30 years of contributing to the field, "HERD" has constructed a unique position for itself among higher education…

Samson, Duncan – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2012
Pattern generalisation has become an important feature of mathematics classrooms around the globe. Sometimes these activities focus purely on given numerical terms, but the use of pictorial or figural patterns is now becoming part of the standard repertoire for such generalisation exercises. From a pedagogic point of view, the investigation of…

Fitzgerald, S.; McCauley, R.; Hanks, B.; Murphy, L.; Simon, B.; Zander, C. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
Learning to debug is a difficult, yet essential, aspect of learning to program. Students in this multi-institutional study report that finding bugs is harder than fixing them. They use a wide variety of debugging strategies, some of them unexpected. Time spent on understanding the problem can be effective. Pattern matching, particularly at the…

Wong, Andrew D.; Wu, Lan – Marketing Education Review, 2012
Despite an increasing demand for marketing researchers familiar with ethnographic methods, ethnographic consumer research has received little coverage in current marketing curricula. The innovation discussed in the present paper addresses this problem: it introduces the notion of "cultural relativism" and gives students hands-on experience in…

Liu, Bin; Bi, Qing-sheng – Online Submission, 2010
The Verhulst model can be used to forecast the sequence, which is characterized as non-monotone and fluctuant sequence or saturated S-form sequence. According to the situation of national enrollment scale of college, this paper forecasts the quantity of students taking entrance examination to college with a Verhulst model with remedy based on data…
