Rudziewicz, Michael; Bossé, Michael J.; Marland, Eric S.; Rhoads, Gregory S. – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2017
Humans possess a remarkable ability to recognise both simple patterns such as shapes and handwriting and very complex patterns such as faces and landscapes. To investigate one small aspect of human pattern recognition, in this study participants position lines of "best fit" to two-dimensional scatter plots of data. The study investigates…

Dunn, Karee E.; Airola, Denise T.; Lo, Wen-Juo; Garrison, Mickey – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2013
Classroom level data driven decision-making (DDDM) involves the use of data to identify patterns of performance that reveal students' academic strengths and weaknesses relative to established learning goals, and the planning of instructional practices to support academic success for all students. Although DDDM is not a new paradigm in education,…

Xu, Beijie; Recker, Mimi – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
Teachers and students increasingly enjoy unprecedented access to abundant web resources and digital libraries to enhance and enrich their classroom experiences. However, due to the distributed nature of such systems, conventional educational research methods, such as surveys and observations, provide only limited snapshots. In addition,…

Hung, Jui-Long; Hsu, Yu-Chang; Rice, Kerry – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
This study investigated an innovative approach of program evaluation through analyses of student learning logs, demographic data, and end-of-course evaluation surveys in an online K-12 supplemental program. The results support the development of a program evaluation model for decision making on teaching and learning at the K-12 level. A case study…

Hayden, Robert W. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2005
The data illustrate outliers that are not mistakes and not observations that are unusually high or low. The reasons for them are all interesting historically. They illustrate that "outliers" need not be errors but may instead be particularly interesting cases. The data also illustrate that different data displays may differ in their ability to…

Warren, Elizabeth – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2005
A common approach used for introducing algebra to young adolescents is an exploration of visual patterns and expressing these patterns as functions and algebraic expressions. Past research has indicated that many adolescents experience difficulties with this approach. This paper explores teaching actions and thinking that begins to bridge many of…
