Borda, Emily; Haskell, Todd; Todd, Andrew – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
We propose cross-disciplinary learning as a construct that can guide instruction and assessment in programs that feature sequential learning across multiple science disciplines. Crossdisciplinary learning combines insights from interdisciplinary learning, transfer, and resources frameworks and highlights the processes of resource activation,…

Vance, Eric A.; Glimp, David R.; Pieplow, Nathan D.; Garrity, Jane M.; Melbourne, Brett A. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Despite growing calls to develop data science students' ethical awareness and expand human-centered approaches to data science education, introductory courses in the field remain largely technical. A new interdisciplinary data science program aims to merge STEM and humanities perspectives starting at the very beginning of the data science…

Wendy Castillo; David Gillborn – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2023
'QuantCrit' (Quantitative Critical Race Theory) is a rapidly developing approach that seeks to challenge and improve the use of statistical data in social research by applying the insights of Critical Race Theory. As originally formulated, QuantCrit rests on five principles; 1) the centrality of racism; 2) numbers are not neutral; 3) categories…

Watson, Jane; Callingham, Rosemary – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
The current COVID-19 situation has seen a plethora of data, statistics and predictions presented to society--some making incredible claims. The authors are concerned that statistics and probability still receive inadequate attention in the classroom, leaving students without the statistical literacy needed to make sense of the claims being made.…

Fishback, Price; Haupert, Michael – Journal of Economic Education, 2022
Teaching economic history requires the study of how to combine the economists' modeling and statistical methods with the methods used by historians and the other social sciences. It often involves learning how to search for quantitative data from a variety of sources and then building panel datasets that match the data found with existing…

White, David – PRIMUS, 2019
In an increasingly data-driven world, facility with statistics is more important than ever for our students. At institutions without a statistician, it often falls to the mathematics faculty to teach statistics courses. This paper presents a model that a mathematician asked to teach statistics can follow. This model entails connecting with faculty…

Holmes, Eileen M.; Leahy, Joy; Walsh, Cathal D.; White, Arthur; Donnan, Peter T.; Lamrock, Felicity – Research Synthesis Methods, 2019
Indirect treatment comparisons are useful to estimate relative treatment effects when head-to-head studies are not conducted. Statisticians at the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics Ireland (NCPE) and Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of new medicines as part of multidisciplinary teams. We describe…

James, Joan K.; Matthews, Robert W. – Science and Children, 2017
In their classrooms, the authors observed students experiencing meaningful and memorable learning when they were immersed in scientific inquiry involving Bess beetles. Students who learn from active, experiential instruction, find such learning to be exciting and emotionally engaging. As a result, they learn more deeply and effectively. This…

Reid, Josh; Carmichael, Colin – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2015
Josh Reid and Colin Carmichael describe how some Year 6 children have developed their understanding of mathematics by studying Asian countries. The statistical analyses undertaken by these children appears to have strengthened their understanding of statistical concepts and at the same time provided them with tools for understanding complex…

Kent, Allen – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2015
The author was assigned the task to comment on the broad topic: "New sciences, technologies, and media--impact on education for librarianship (or libraries)." The author choose to emphasize "information science." Narrowing the subject down even further, in this article the author emphasizes some of the aspects of the…

Hester, Jacob Andrew; Besing, Kari Lynn – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2017
For decades, research has shown that higher levels of education correspond to increased interest in politics and civic engagement. Despite the vast amount of scholarly attention, why this link exists is still disputed. One theory about the connection is the civic education hypothesis, which claims that the causal link between education and civic…

McCarthy, Michael – Language Teaching, 2016
This lecture considers what reference and pedagogical grammars and grammar teaching materials for L2 learners should ideally include, based on corpus evidence from both native-speaker and learner corpora. I demonstrate how learner corpora can be used to track the emergence of grammatical features, from the elementary level to advanced, how…

Yelamarthi, Kumar – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2016
Many interesting research and design questions occur at the intersections of traditional disciplines, yet most coursework and research programs for undergraduate engineering students are focused on one discipline. This leads to underutilization of the potential in better preparing students through multidisciplinary projects. Identifying this…
