Self-efficacy is associated with a range of educational outcomes, including science and math degree attainment. Project-based statistics courses have the potential to increase students' math self-efficacy because projects may represent a mastery experience, but students enter courses with preexisting math self-efficacy. This study explored…

Learning statistics can be challenging for many students, due to their inability to engage in statistical reasoning and application of techniques. This challenge becomes compounded in online learning contexts where students are spatially and temporally separated from the teacher. This paper describes and explains a case of theory-driven…

Identifying the knowledge resources teachers productively and unproductively draw upon can provide a means by which to create support structures to develop a more robust understanding of the content. To provide more informed grade-level support structures in teacher education programs, this study examined the knowledge resources 20 secondary…

The project "Representation of Childhood at the Museums of Latvia, Integrated in the E-Learning Environment of Higher Education" was a response to the need for sources in the history of education that would accommodate the interests of students in educational sciences. The article aims at sharing the project experience in (1) mapping the…

This survey paper presents recent relevant research in mathematics education produced in Spain, which allows the identification of different broad lines of research developed by Spanish groups of scholars. First, we present and describe studies whose research objectives are related to student learning of specific curricular contents and…

Objective: This study examined relationships between eating disorder risk (EDR), lifestyle variables (e.g., exposure to healthy eating media), and differences among male and female college students. Participants: College students (N = 323) completed survey questionnaires (Fall, 2016). Fifty-three participants retook the survey at a later time.…

Assessment of attitudes towards statistics [ATS] is needed to support the success of statistics education in tertiary institutions, so measuring instruments with high accuracy is required. However, existing instruments to measure ATS have not considered the use of technology as an essential variable affecting success in statistics education. The…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies can be domain specific. However, it remains unclear whether this specificity extends to different subtopics within a single subject domain. In this study, we collected data from 210 college students engaged in a computer-based learning environment to examine the heterogeneous manifestations of learning…

This study determined the effectiveness of a developed MOOC 'Statistical Analysis and Information Processing for Research' in enhancing Kazakhstan's young researchers' research skills. This study employed pedagogical experience generalization, pedagogical observation, discussion, questioning, and mathematical statistics to process experimental…

Alternative grading methods, such as standards-based grading, provide students multiple opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of the learning outcomes in a course. These grading methods allow for more flexibility and help promote a growth mindset by embracing constructive failure for students. Implementation of these alternative grading…

Background/Context: Some observational studies involve multiple layers of treatment selection, specifically in the context of the extended time accommodation (ETA) for English language learners (ELLs). In ETA settings, the first selection occurs due to the eligibility rule, where students whose ELL English proficiency is below a certain threshold…

Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a widely spread phenomenon affecting learning abilities and performance. The aim of the research is to test the mechanism linking ADHD with statistics test performance. We found a significant indirect path linking the ADHD diagnosis and the final grade. ADHD was linked to lower self-efficacy,…

This Report is submitted in fulfillment of the requirement in "The Career Preparation Expansion Act" (CPEA), Chapter 695 of 2018 (see Education Article § 21-206, Annotated Code of Maryland). The Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) Center and the Governor's Workforce Development Board (GWDB) are required to produce a report on high…

We investigate the direct and interaction effects of breadth and depth of student involvement in campus activities on student grade point average. Using data from the Student Engagement Transcripts on 475 students and ordinary least squares regression, we provide evidence for both direct and interaction effects. A more detailed analysis of the…

The structure of natural languages give rise to many dependencies in the linear sequences of words, and within words themselves. Detecting these dependencies is arguably critical for young children in learning the underlying structure of their language. There is considerable evidence that human adults and infants are sensitive to the statistical…
