Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Using R to Simulate Permutation Distributions for Some Elementary Experimental Designs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eudey, T. Lynn; Kerr, Joshua D.; Trumbo, Bruce E. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2010
Null distributions of permutation tests for two-sample, paired, and block designs are simulated using the R statistical programming language. For each design and type of data, permutation tests are compared with standard normal-theory and nonparametric tests. These examples (often using real data) provide for classroom discussion use of metrics…

Ramler, Ivan P.; Chapman, Jessica L. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2011
In this article we describe a semester-long project, based on the popular video game series Guitar Hero, designed to introduce upper-level undergraduate statistics students to statistical research. Some of the goals of this project are to help students develop statistical thinking that allows them to approach and answer open-ended research…

Ranking the Difficulty Level of the Knowledge Units Based on Learning Dependency
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Jun; Sha, Sha; Zheng, Qinghua; Zhang, Wei – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2012
Assigning difficulty level indicators to the knowledge units helps the learners plan their learning activities more efficiently. This paper focuses on how to use the topology of a knowledge map to compute and rank the difficulty levels of knowledge units. Firstly, the authors present the hierarchical structure and properties of the knowledge map.…

Extending the Engagement Taxonomy: Software Visualization and Collaborative Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Myller, Niko; Bednarik, Roman; Sutinen, Erkki; Ben-Ari, Mordechai – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2009
As collaborative learning in general, and pair programming in particular, has become widely adopted in computer science education, so has the use of pedagogical visualization tools for facilitating collaboration. However, there is little theory on collaborative learning with visualization, and few studies on their effect on each other. We build on…

A Conceptual Framework for Analyzing Students' Knowledge of Programming.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McGill, Tanya J.; Volet, Simone E. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1997
Proposes a conceptual framework for analyzing students' knowledge of programming. The idea is to integrate three types of programming knowledge from educational computing literature with three forms of knowledge from cognitive psychology literature. A study is described that determined types of knowledge required to answer exam questions, and…
