Braithwaite, David W.; Pyke, Aryn A.; Siegler, Robert S. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Many children fail to master fraction arithmetic even after years of instruction, a failure that hinders their learning of more advanced mathematics as well as their occupational success. To test hypotheses about why children have so many difficulties in this area, we created a computational model of fraction arithmetic learning and presented it…

Kung, Hsiang-Jui; Kung, LeeAnn; Gardiner, Adrian – Information Systems Education Journal, 2013
Conceptual database design is a difficult task for novice database designers, such as students, and is also therefore particularly challenging for database educators to teach. In the teaching of database design, two general approaches are frequently emphasized: top-down and bottom-up. In this paper, we present an empirical comparison of students'…
