Tenzin Doleck; Pedram Agand; Dylan Pirrotta – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
As is rapidly becoming clear, data science increasingly permeates many aspects of life. Educational research recognizes the importance and complexity of learning data science. In line with this imperative, there is a growing need to investigate the factors that influence student performance in data science tasks. In this paper, we aimed to apply…

Josefina Ventre; Agustina L. Renna; Francisco J. Ibañez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
It is crucial nowadays to predict in a fast and simple manner physical-chemical behaviors like, the size-dependent optical properties of gold nanospheres (Au NSs). The idea behind this experiment is trying to replace (as much as possible) robust and expensive microscopy techniques with UV-vis spectrophotometry and friendly simulations. Students…

Tamara Broderick; Andrew Gelman; Rachael Meager; Anna L. Smith; Tian Zheng – Grantee Submission, 2022
Probabilistic machine learning increasingly informs critical decisions in medicine, economics, politics, and beyond. To aid the development of trust in these decisions, we develop a taxonomy delineating where trust in an analysis can break down: (1) in the translation of real-world goals to goals on a particular set of training data, (2) in the…

Kolata, Gina Bari – Science, 1974
Although today's computers can perform as many as one million operations per second, there are many problems that are still too large to be solved in a straightforward manner. Recent work indicates that many approximate solutions are useful and more efficient than exact solutions. (Author/RH)

Durnin, John; Scandura, Joseph M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1973
The purpose of this study was to compare three technologies: the item forms technology (domain-referenced testing) of Hively et al. (1968), the hierarchical or stratified item forms technology of Ferguson (1969), and the algorithmic technology of Scandura (1971, 1973). (Author/RK)

Gray, John S. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1994
A detailed analysis and computer-based solution to a puzzle addressing the arrangement of dominoes on a grid is presented. The problem is one used in a college-level data structures or algorithms course. The solution uses backtracking to generate all possible answers. Details of the use of backtracking and techniques for mapping abstract problems…
