Lucow, William H. – 1973
Computer-based, criterion-referenced testing can be a humanizing process if it is used for diagnostic and remedial purposes in helping individual students to attain their maximum levels of achievement. The procedure is based upon the proposition that certain classroom situations involving cognitive acquisition, when tested at equally spaced time…

Garfield, Joan; Ahlgren, Andrew – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
Although many articles in the education literature recommend how to teach statistics more effectively, there is little published research on how students actually learn statistics concepts. The literature reviewed in this paper indicates a need for collaborative, cross-disciplinary research on how students come to think correctly about probability…

Arkansas State Dept. of Education, Little Rock. – 2002
This document presents the content standards for mathematics in Arkansas. These standards are organized into five strands: (1) number sense, properties, and operations; (2) geometry and spatial sense; (3) measurement; (4) data analysis, statistics, and probability; and (5) patterns, algebra, and functions. Each of these strands is subdivided into…

Canabal, Maria E. – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1990
Assessed socioeconomic determinants and probability of marital dissolution at five-year intervals for first legal and consensual marriages in Puerto Rico. Determined probability of dissolution was decreased by young children, wives' religious participation, and higher marital age; increased by wives' labor force participation, urban living, and…

Tometsko, Nancy Rhodes; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Described are three activities designed to increase student participation in the classroom. The first uses earthquake reporting to study logarithms. The second discusses student-generated examples to introduce probability. In the third, prepared handouts and study groups are used to promote student interaction and involvement in calculus classes.…

Camilli, Gregory – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1992
A mathematical model is proposed to describe how group differences in distributions of abilities, which are distinct from the target ability, influence the probability of a correct item response. In the multidimensional approach, differential item functioning is considered a function of the educational histories of the examinees. (SLD)

Powell, Lisa M.; Chaloupka, Frank J. – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2005
This paper jointly examines the importance of parental influences, prices, and tobacco control policies on the smoking behavior of youths. Data are drawn from the Audits & Surveys (A&S) 1996 survey of high school students across the United States from "The Study of Smoking and Tobacco Use Among Young People" to examine the impact…

Pinquart, Martin; Juang, Linda P.; Silbereisen, Rainer K. – Journal of Career Development, 2004
In times of dramatic social change, new career options emerge and old options may become obsolete. We investigated predictors of change in general career aspirations and of plans to attend a university of East German adolescents from 1989 (before German unification) to 1991 and 1995, respectively, after German unification. Higher pre-unification…

Stevens, Ron; Johnson, David F.; Soller, Amy – Cell Biology Education, 2005
The IMMEX (Interactive Multi-Media Exercises) Web-based problem set platform enables the online delivery of complex, multimedia simulations, the rapid collection of student performance data, and has already been used in several genetic simulations. The next step is the use of these data to understand and improve student learning in a formative…

Jeong, Allan – Journal of Distance Education, 2004
This study examined the effects of response time and message content on the growth patterns of discussion threads in computer-supported collaborative argumentation. Event sequence analysis was used to measure response times between threaded messages and responses containing arguments, evidence, critiques, evaluations, and other comments from…
