Baird, William H. – Physics Education, 2022
The United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), and similar geolocation systems such as Galileo, GLONASS, and Beidou are used by people all over the globe. Modern receivers of these global navigation satellite systems can track multiple satellites from different constellations. Casual, non-technical users are probably aware that the positional…

Existing toolkits for analyzing movement dynamics in animal ecology primarily focus on individual or group behavior in habitats without predefined boundaries, while methods for studying human activity often cater to bounded environments, such as team sports played on defined fields. This leaves a gap in tools for modeling and analyzing human group…

Chelsea McCracken; Ruby MacDougall – ITHAKA S+R, 2025
Research data services--support offerings which enable and improve data-intensive research--have garnered sustained attention from library research support service providers for nearly two decades. Libraries have played a leading role in developing research data services, and on most university campuses they provide the largest and most diverse…

Baird, William; Pizano, Adrian; Ruff, Jordan – Physics Teacher, 2022
The global positioning system (GPS) must be familiar to every user of a smartphone as a way to locate one's position on Earth to within several meters. The constellation of orbiting atomic clocks equipped with radio transmitters allows receivers on Earth to determine their own position by measuring the travel times of radio signals from multiple…

Rotman, Assaf; Shalev, Michael – Sociological Methods & Research, 2022
Automatically collected behavioral data on the location of users of mobile phones offer an unprecedented opportunity to measure mobilization in mass protests, while simultaneously expanding the range of researchable questions. Location data not only improve estimation of the number and composition of participants in large demonstrations. Thanks to…

Bolick, Madeleine M.; Mikhailova, Elena A.; Post, Christopher J. – Education Sciences, 2022
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions. This means there is a growing need to integrate UAV training into STEM education. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a UAV education module and laboratory exercise for natural resource science students. The…

Morrison, Judith A.; Malone, Danielle; Sorensen Petersen, Sara – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2023
The project described in this article focused on the school's environment and students' connections with the school. The project took place in a large, comprehensive high school with eight 12th grade students, one with intellectual disabilities, three with learning disabilities, two with autism spectrum disorders, and two with health impairments.…

The Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) has prioritized initiatives that help promote regional equity across the state. In Year 2, AOE wanted to continue using geographic information systems (GIS) data to support policymaking and requested using GIS to understand the landscape of student mental health support providers in schools and districts…

Grasty, Sarah – Science Teacher, 2020
Fisheries scientists make sure that fish populations ("fisheries") are managed properly, neither over- or under-utilized, to maintain long-term economic and ecological stability. Scientists collect data and conduct surveys to determine fish populations, and then make recommendations about how many fish may be caught by commercial and…

Cantarero, Rodrigo; de Guzman, Maria Rosario T.; Taylor, Sarah; Hong, Soo-Young; Choi, Jeong-Kyun – Journal of Extension, 2019
The increasing use of geographic information system (GIS) technology in various fields suggests the need for professionals, including those in Extension, to be mindful of communicating data accurately and effectively. This article examines approaches to creating classes or groupings within data as well as the weaknesses of each approach. Data…

Jiang, Yongyao – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Finding Earth science data has been a challenging problem given both the quantity of data available and the heterogeneity of the data across a wide variety of domains. Current search engines in most geospatial data portals tend to induce end users to focus on one single data attribute. This approach largely fails to take account of users' multiple…

Clevenger, Kimberly Ann; Sinha, Gaurav; Howe, Cheryl A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Several geospatial approaches have been used to characterize physical activity during recess using global positioning system (GPS) data. GPS and accelerometer data from 23 children collected during recess were analyzed using four previously used approaches: (1) dot map, (2) fishnet grid, (3) hot spot analysis, which determines clusters of high/low…

Cantarero, Rodrigo; de Guzman, Maria Rosario T.; Taylor, Sarah; Hong, Soo-Hong; Choi, Jeong-Kyun – Journal of Extension, 2019
Extension professionals are increasingly using geographic information system (GIS) technology to develop and inform programs and services. In this article, we use a mapping exercise to demonstrate how the unit of data can be applied and inadvertently misrepresented in GIS mapping. We contrast the use of counts, percentages, and location quotients…

Mikhailova, Elena A.; Post, Christopher J.; Zurqani, Hamdi A.; Younts, Grayson L. – Education Sciences, 2022
Crowdsourcing is an important tool for collecting spatio-temporal data, which has various applications in education. The objectives of this study were to develop and test a laboratory exercise on soil erosion by water and field data crowdsourcing in an online introductory soil science course (FNR 2040: Soil Information Systems) at Clemson…

Van Wart, Sarah; Lanouette, Kathryn; Parikh, Tapan S. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Data increasingly mediates how we understand the world. As such, there is growing interest in designing initiatives to help young people learn about data--not only the techno-mathematical skills necessary to work with data, but also the dispositions needed to participate in data-centric ways of knowing and doing. In this article, we argue that as…
