We estimate the percentage of eligible students who do not take up their federal need-based student financial aid entitlements in a microsimulation model for the German Socio-Economic Panel Study 2002--2013. We find that about 40% of the eligible low-income students do not take up their entitlements. Non-take-up is inversely and rather…

These proceedings contain the papers of the 16th International Conference on e-Learning (EL 2022), which was organised by the International Association for Development of the Information Society, 19-21 July, 2022. This conference is part of the 16th Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems 2022, 19-22 July, which had a total of…

The authors propose a general modeling framework called the general monotone model (GeMM), which allows one to model psychological phenomena that manifest as nonlinear relations in behavior data without the need for making (overly) precise assumptions about functional form. Using both simulated and real data, the authors illustrate that GeMM…

A procedure modelling ideal classical and quantum gases is discussed. The proposed approach is mainly based on the idea that modelling and algorithm analysis can provide a deeper understanding of particularly complex physical systems. Appropriate representations and physical models able to mimic possible pseudo-mechanisms of functioning and having…

In high-stakes selection among candidates with considerable domain-specific knowledge and experience, investigations of whether high-fidelity simulations (assessment centers; ACs) have incremental validity over low-fidelity simulations (situational judgment tests; SJTs) are lacking. Therefore, this article integrates research on the validity of…

These proceedings contain the papers of the 18th International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA 2021), held virtually, due to an exceptional situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, from October 13-15, 2021, and organized by the International Association for Development of the Information Society…

The 11th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2018) is held under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society at the Templeton Landing in Buffalo, New York. This year's EDM conference was highly competitive, with 145 long and short paper submissions. Of these, 23 were accepted as full papers and 37…

The author presents three methods for dealing with the problem of the number of tosses of a fair coin needed to obtain two consecutive heads. (MN)

This research is concerned with the development and application of a computer-based simulation model of university baccalaureate degree nursing educational programs in the United States. (Author)

Discussion of the use of business simulations in the classroom focuses on performance measurement and evaluation of managerial potential of individual players. The use of profit figures as a performance measure is examined, problems with evaluation by profits are described, and the use of forecasts and estimates as alternative evaluation criteria…

Describes a classroom demonstration called the Gambler's Fallacy where students in an introductory psychology statistics class participate in simulated gambling using weekly results from professional football game outcomes over a 10 week period. Explains that the demonstration illustrates that random processes do not self-correct and statistical…

Presents a simulation model that might prove to be a powerful predictor of future enrollment for post-secondary study in Manitoba. This simulation involves representing the abrupt changes in individual and group behavior resulting from crosspressures, conflicting circumstances, and their related socio-economic conditions. (Author/WM)

A model using four categories of college applicants (enrollment deposit paid, deposit not yet paid, applicants not yet admitted, and those who have not yet applied) that allows forecasting of freshman enrollment from any point in the admission process and simulates the effects of trends and strategies on enrollment is outlined. (MSE)

The University of Minnesota has pioneered in establishing future-oriented courses and curricula and now ranks as one of the world's leading centers of future studies. Article describes the Minnesota experience and offers suggestions to other institutions that want to futurize themselves. (Author)

Simulation is the process of synthetically manipulating the variables in a model of a system for the purpose of understanding, experimenting with, and predicting the behavior of that system. Many different models are now being developed by university administrators to aid them in making decisions. Simulation models have been developed for…
