Lewis, Armanda; Stoyanovich, Julia – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Although an increasing number of ethical data science and AI courses is available, with many focusing specifically on technology and computer ethics, pedagogical approaches employed in these courses rely exclusively on texts rather than on algorithmic development or data analysis. In this paper we recount a recent experience in developing and…

Teachers' Perception, Interpretation, and Decision-Making: A Systematic Review of Empirical Mathematics Education Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stahnke, Rebekka; Schueler, Sven; Roesken-Winter, Bettina – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
Research in mathematics education has investigated teachers' professional knowledge in depth, comprising two different approaches: a cognitive and a situated perspective. Linking these two perspectives leads to addressing situation-specific skills such as perception, interpretation and decision-making, indicative of revealing a teacher's knowledge…

Sneider, Cary; Stephenson, Chris; Schafer, Bruce; Flick, Larry – Science Teacher, 2014
A "Framework for K-12 Science Education" identified eight practices as "essential elements of the K-12 science and engineering curriculum" (NRC 2012, p. 49). Most of the practices, such as Developing and Using Models, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, and Analyzing and Interpreting Data, are well known among science…

Subsurface Mapping: A Question of Position and Interpretation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kellie, Andrew C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2009
This paper discusses the character and challenges inherent in the graphical portrayal of features in subsurface mapping. Subsurface structures are, by their nature, hidden and must be mapped based on drilling and/or geophysical data. Efficient use of graphical techniques is central to effectively communicating the results of expensive exploration…

Izsak, Andrew; Tillema, Erik; Tunc-Pekkan, Zelha – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2008
We present a case study of teaching and learning fraction addition on number lines in one sixth-grade classroom that used the Connected Mathematics Project Bits and Pieces II materials. Our main research questions were (1) What were the primary cognitive structures through which the teacher and students interpreted the lessons? and (2) Were the…
