Crooks, Noelle M.; Bartel, Anna N.; Alibali, Martha W. – Grantee Submission, 2019
In recent years, there have been calls for researchers to report and interpret confidence intervals (CIs) rather than relying solely on p-values. Such reforms, however, may be hindered by a general lack of understanding of CIs and how to interpret them. In this study, we assessed conceptual knowledge of CIs in undergraduate and graduate psychology…

Danielson, Robert W.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Kendeou, Panayiota – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2016
Refutation texts have been shown to be effective at promoting knowledge revision. It has been suggested that refutation texts are most effective when the misconception and the correct information are co-activated and integrated with causal networks that support the correct information. We explored two augmentations to a refutation text that might…

Casleton, Emily; Beyler, Amy; Genschel, Ulrike; Wilson, Alyson – Journal of Statistics Education, 2014
Undergraduate students who have just completed an introductory statistics course often lack deep understanding of variability and enthusiasm for the field of statistics.

Begolli, Kreshnik Nasi; Richland, Lindsey Engle – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Comparing multiple solutions to a single problem is an important mode for developing flexible mathematical thinking, yet instructionally leading this activity is challenging (Stein, Engle, Smith, & Hughes, 2008). We test 1 decision teachers must make after having students solve a problem: whether to only verbally discuss students' solutions or…

Conard-Salvo, Tammy; Spartz, John M. – Writing Center Journal, 2012
This is a story of a failed study. In 2007, the authors set out to demonstrate that Kurzweil 3000, an adaptive text-to-speech software program, would help any student revise with its read-aloud function and numerous writing tools. During the course of the study, the authors confronted their misconceptions about students' technology use and…

Hanks, Lawrence J.; Sullivan, Jas; Spencer, Sara B.; Rogers, Elgin – Forum on Public Policy Online, 2008
The literature opposed to affirmative action in hiring, granting tenure and promotion in the university claims that it lowers standards. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that in the decades prior to the institutionalization of affirmative action in the Academy, hiring, tenure and promotion standards were quite lax--resembling an "old boys…

Grant, Timothy S.; Nathan, Mitchell J. – Wisconsin Center for Education Research (NJ1), 2008
Confidence intervals are beginning to play an increasing role in the reporting of research findings within the social and behavioral sciences and, consequently, are becoming more prevalent in beginning classes in statistics and research methods. Confidence intervals are an attractive means of conveying experimental results, as they contain a…
