Arthur David Snider – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2023
Tychonov's 1935 solution of the heat equation, exhibiting nontrivial heat fluxes spontaneously appearing along an isolated conducting rod initially held at zero degrees, has intrigued some specialists for almost a century. No doubt those practicing heat engineers who took mathematics seriously were initially relieved to learn that the construction…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Vieira, Camilo; Fennell, Hayden W.; Roy, Anindya; Falk, Michael L. – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
Modeling is an important element of discovery and design processes because it can help individuals to comprehend and facilitate solutions to problems, mediate among mental and external representations, and off-load cognitive demands. However, engaging in model generation, comprehension, and transformation requires the orchestration of domain…

Kellems, Ryan O.; Eichelberger, Carrie; Cacciatore, Giulia; Jensen, Mikaela; Frazier, Brynn; Simons, Kalee; Zaru, Mai – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of video-based mathematics instruction for seven middle school students with specific learning disability (SLD), using an augmented reality-based training package. The dependent variable was the percentage of steps students performed correctly to solve each type of mathematics problem. The…

De Leon, Leticia; Bennett, Kara – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2019
This paper describes a qualitative study that examined how preservice teachers engaged in a "Second Life" activity intended to help them reflect on how knowledge of human rights may affect their professional practice. This process utilized a problem-solving strategy to determine their goal-oriented character traits. Therefore, the…

Moving towards the Assessment of Collaborative Problem Solving Skills with a Tangible User Interface
Ras, Eric; Krkovic, Katarina; Greiff, Samuel; Tobias, Eric; Maquil, Valérie – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2014
The research on the assessment of collaborative problem solving (ColPS), as one crucial 21st Century Skill, is still in its beginnings. Using Tangible User Interfaces (TUI) for this purpose has only been marginally investigated in technology-based assessment. Our first empirical studies focused on light-weight performance measurements, usability,…

Lu, Yun; Vasko, Francis J.; Drummond, Trevor J.; Vasko, Lisa E. – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
If the prospective students of probability lack a background in mathematical proofs, hands-on classroom activities may work well to help them to learn to analyze problems correctly. For example, students may physically roll a die twice to count and compare the frequency of the sequences. Tools such as graphing calculators or Microsoft Excel®…

Wilson, Rebecca D. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the design characteristics component of the Jeffries/National League for Nursing Framework for Designing, Implementing, and Evaluating Simulations when developing a simulation-based approach to teaching structured communication to new graduate nurses. The setting for the study was a medium…

Kim, G. D.; Engelhardt, J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
A k-dimensional integer point is called visible if the line segment joining the point and the origin contains no proper integer points. This note proposes an explicit formula that represents the number of visible points on the two-dimensional [1,N]x[1,N] integer domain. Simulations and theoretical work are presented. (Contains 5 figures and 2…

Yang, Xiangdong – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2007
This article investigates several methods of identifying individual guessers from their response data. Both the posterior probability method and the likelihood ratio method are based on the two-state mixture modeling approach to response times. The accuracy method is based on response accuracy data. Results from the simulation study showed that…

Norman, Geoffrey R.; And Others – Journal of Instructional Development, 1985
Reviews five simulation methods used in medical and health science education: oral examinations, live simulated patients, mannequins, and written and computer-based simulations. Each type of simulation is discussed relative to its fidelity, reliability, validity, learning, and feasibility. (MBR)

Wholeben, Brent Edward – 1984
Complex decision-making environments often demand that a range of alternative strategies be identified and compared for their shared value in achieving desired ends. Simple parametric statistical procedures such as analysis of variance and discriminant function analysis can be used in such situations to compare (using selected criteria) the value…

McTavish, Jeanne – 1976
This paper begins by reviewing previous research concerning the external validity of mixed-motive games as models of international conflict, interpersonal behavior, and behavior in large-scale social dilemmas. Two further experiments are then described, both of which cast further doubt upon the usefulness of such games as models of any real-world…

Stevens, Rons; Palacio-Cayetano, Joycelin – Cell Biology Education, 2003
Rapid advancements in hardware, software, and connectivity are helping to shorten the times needed to develop computer simulations for science education. These advancements, however, have not been accompanied by corresponding theories of how best to design and use these technologies for teaching, learning, and testing. Such design frameworks…

Diserens, Deborah; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1986
A computer program developed at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine presents simulated patient cases and then scores participants' clinical problem-solving in the cases by comparing their performances with those of faculty members. The validity and reliability of this evaluation system was investigated. (Author/MLW)
