Tolga Gök – Journal of Science Learning, 2023
Graphic interpretation is as critical in physics education as problem-solving. However, we know that today's classes focus more on problem-solving. This study uses a survey to determine college students' graphic interpretation skills. The study consists of two phases. The first phase includes the development and statistical analysis of the survey.…

Monica Rogers – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Data visualization literacy can be defined as "the ability and skill to read and interpret visually represented data in and to extract information from data visualizations" (Lee, et al., 2017, p.552). Within the information science profession, data visualization literacy is an emerging and increasingly important competency within the…

Berg, Stephanie A.; Moon, Alena – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
To develop competency in science practices, such as data analysis and interpretation, chemistry learners must develop an understanding of what makes an analysis and interpretation "good" (i.e., the criteria for success). One way that individuals extract the criteria for success in a novel situation is through making social comparisons,…

Militello, Kevin T.; Nedelkovska, Hristina – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the need to reliably detect the presence of viral genomes in human clinical samples. The most accurate viral tests involve the use of qPCR. Thus, it is important for students to understand the mechanism to detect viral genomes by qPCR including critical qPCR controls and how to properly interpret qPCR data.…

Maloney, Suzanne; Axelsen, Megan; Galligan, Linda; Turner, Joanna; Redmond, Petrea; Brown, Alice; Basson, Marita; Lawrence, Jill – Online Learning, 2022
Driven by the increased availability of Learning Management System data, this study explored its value and sought understanding of student behaviour through the information contained in activity level log data. Specifically, this study examined analytics data to understand students' engagement with online videos. Learning analytics data from the…

Prevodnik, Katja; Vehovar, Vasja – Sociological Methods & Research, 2023
When comparing social science phenomena through a time perspective, absolute and relative difference (RD) are the two typical presentation formats used to communicate interpretations to the audience, while time distance (TD) is the least frequently used of such formats. This article argues that the chosen presentation format is extremely important…

Stanislav Pozdniakov; Roberto Martinez-Maldonado; Yi-Shan Tsai; Vanessa Echeverria; Zachari Swiecki; Dragan Gaševic – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2025
Recent research on learning analytics dashboards has focused on designing user interfaces that offer various forms of "visualization guidance" (often referring to notions such as "data storytelling" or "narrative visualization") to teachers (e.g., emphasizing data points or trends with colour and adding annotations),…

Bi, Henry H. – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2018
There are no absolute standards regarding what teaching evaluation ratings are satisfactory. It is also problematic to compare teaching evaluation ratings with the average or with a cutoff number to determine whether they are adequate. In this paper, we use average and standard deviation charts (X[overbar]-S charts), which are based on the theory…

Tsuji, Bruce H.; Lindgaard, Gitte – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
This research compared undergraduate Novices and PhD Experts in psychology and business in their exploration of psychology and business domain graphs. An overall expertise effect in graph explanation was found. Results indicated that Novices paused longer than Experts before beginning their explanations. Qualitative analyses showed that Experts…

Hoang, Thi Van Yen; Rojas-Lizana, Isolda – Cogent Education, 2015
This article shows how universities represent themselves through the use of language on their institutional websites. Specifically, it compares and contrasts how a long established university, the University of Melbourne and a young university, Macquarie University construct their institutional identities and build up a relationship with potential…

Kolivras, Korine N.; Luebbering, Candice R.; Resler, Lynn M. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2012
Field trips have become less common due to issues including budget constraints and large class sizes. Research suggests that virtual field trips can substitute for field visits, but the role of webcams has not been evaluated. To investigate the potential for webcams to substitute for field trips, participants viewed urban and physical landscapes…

Contreras, Salvador; Badua, Frank; Chen, Jiun Shiu; Adrian, Mitchell – Journal of Education for Business, 2011
The authors investigated the results of the Educational Testing Service Major Field Test (ETS-MFT) administered to business majors at a U.S. state university. Longitudinal trends and cross-sectional differences are documented, including significant performance differences among students of different majors. Findings suggest that a cohort affect…

Williams, Ross – Australian Universities' Review, 2008
University rankings are having a profound effect on both higher education systems and individual universities. In this paper we outline these effects, discuss the desirable characteristics of a good ranking methodology and document existing practice, with an emphasis on the two main international rankings (Shanghai Jiao Tong and THES-QS). We take…

Lefebre, Elizabeth; Fabrizio, Michael; Merbitz, Charles – Journal of Precision Teaching and Celeration, 2008
Although behavior analysis relies primarily on visual inspection for interpreting data, previous research shows that the method of display can influence the judgments. In the current study, 26 Board-Certified Behavior Analysts reviewed two data sets displayed on each of three methods--equal-interval graphs, tables, and Standard Celeration…

Melville, Wayne; Wallace, John – Research in Science Education, 2007
This article employs the concept of community to interpret teacher professional learning in the context of the school science department. Using the transcripts of staff meetings, lesson observations and the conversations of school administrators, the departmental community is examined in terms of three metaphors: subject, relationships and…
