Masnick, Amy M.; Morris, Bradley J. – Education Sciences, 2022
Data reasoning is an essential component of scientific reasoning, as a component of evidence evaluation. In this paper, we outline a model of scientific data reasoning that describes how data sensemaking underlies data reasoning. Data sensemaking, a relatively automatic process rooted in perceptual mechanisms that summarize large quantities of…

Elizabeth Talbott; Andres De Los Reyes; Devin M. Kearns; Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez; Mo Wang – Exceptional Children, 2023
Evidence-based assessment (EBA) requires that investigators employ scientific theories and research findings to guide decisions about what domains to measure, how and when to measure them, and how to make decisions and interpret results. To implement EBA, investigators need high-quality assessment tools along with evidence-based processes. We…

Hui, Bowen – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this work is to illustrate the processes involved in managing teams in order to assist designers and developers to build software that support teamwork. A deeper investigation into the role of team analytics is discussed in this article. Design/methodology/approach: Many researchers over the past several decades studied the…

DeSantis, Larisa; DeSantis, Derek – Science Teacher, 2017
This article describes a lesson in which high school biology, ecology, environmental science, anatomy, and physiology students can devise hypotheses and test them with scientific data, identify unanswered questions, and design an additional study to answer those questions. This module connects students with exciting research and current science…

Drummond, Gordon B.; Tom, Brian D. M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2011
In this article, the authors address the practicalities of how data should be presented, summarized, and interpreted. There are no exact rules; indeed there are valid concerns that exact rules may be inappropriate and too prescriptive. New procedures evolve, and new methods may be needed to deal with new types of data, just as people know that new…

Boaduo, Nana Adu-Pipim – Educational Research and Reviews, 2011
Two basic data sources required for research studies have been secondary and primary. Secondary data collection helps the researcher to provide relevant background to the study and are, in most cases, available for retrieval from recorded sources. Primary data collection requires the researcher to venture into the field where the study is to take…

Rice, Patricia C. – Anthropology and Education Quarterly, 1985
Describes a classroom project that allows students to learn the scientific method by going through the entire process of data collection, hypothesis generation, data analysis, and hypothesis testing. This instructional activity concerns "book carrying behavior" and is aimed at introductory anthropology students. (KH)

O'Dell, Cynthia D.; Hoyert, Mark Sudlow – Teaching of Psychology, 2002
We describe a perceptual experiment that we have successfully used in Research Methods classes. Students attempt to identify a series of simple cookie cutter shapes using only the fingers and hands (haptic perception). Students read archival studies that have used this procedure, identify confounds, generate and test alternate hypotheses, and…

Hugick, Julie; Donahue, Rick – Science Scope, 2003
Explains the design and implementation of a student research project called Project SunSHINE. Explores the relationships between ultraviolet light and humidity, temperature, cloud type, and cloud cover. (SOE)

Lowe, David; Matthews, Robert – Computers and the Humanities, 1995
Illustrates how Radial Basis Function (RBF) network techniques can be used to explore questions concerning authorship of historic documents. Demonstrates the utility and potential for using quantitative techniques to assist in the decision-making process in relatively subjective disciplines. Compares RBF neural network techniques with more…

Johnson, David E. – Teaching of Psychology, 1996
Provides an exercise for introducing research methods to undergraduates. The students view a graph revealing that left-handed people are underrepresented in older age groups. Small group discussions attempt to explain this phenomenon. A follow-up class discussion focuses on the different approaches and methods available for interpreting the data.…

Smart, L. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1988
Describes how the database software QUEST was used with 10- to 11-year-old students in London by utilizing a multidisciplinary, project-based approach. The collection, collation, and interpretation of data are emphasized, and areas of educational development that benefited are discussed, including language, self responsibility, and hypothesis…
