Francisco, John M. – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Reform movements in mathematics education advocate that mathematical argumentation play a central role in all classrooms. However, research shows that mathematics teachers at all grade level find it challenging to support argumentation in mathematics classrooms. This study examines the role of teachers' mathematical knowledge in teachers' support…

Divjak, Dagmar – Cognitive Science, 2017
A number of studies report that frequency is a poor predictor of acceptability, in particular at the lower end of the frequency spectrum. Because acceptability judgments provide a substantial part of the empirical foundation of dominant linguistic traditions, understanding how acceptability relates to frequency, one of the most robust predictors…

Zhang, Qiao; Maclellan, Christopher J. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Knowledge tracing algorithms are embedded in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to keep track of students' learning process. While knowledge tracing models have been extensively studied in offline settings, very little work has explored their use in online settings. This is primarily because conducting experiments to evaluate and select knowledge…

Meghan Cosier; Audri Sandoval Gomez; Joni Ricks-Oddie; Aja McKee; Megan C. Doty; Erin Bonham; Donald N. Cardinal – Inclusion, 2021
The variability in placement of students with autism and intellectual disability and lack of access to general education for these students suggests the need to identify factors associated with placement and then address the role of current policy. This article presents the results of a 5-year trend analysis of placement of students with autism…

Wagaman, John; Fletcher, Michael – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2018
This article considers how a handicapping system should be devised for squash. It looks at the American scoring system, and whether it is possible to have a fair system of handicapping. We consider "fair" from a perspective of expected number of rallies won and probability of winning.

Choi, Yool – Research in Higher Education, 2018
This study explores how student employment affects college persistence and how these effects differ by individual likelihood of participating in student employment. I analyze data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 using propensity score matching and stratification-multilevel analysis. This study finds that engaging in intense…

Dreher, John H. – Forum on Public Policy Online, 2018
This paper explores the use of irony in narratives that focus on the problem of knowing what we do not know. Sometimes issues arise on a grand scale, as in the literature of Socrates, Pascal, and Descartes, where the question really is whether we can know anything at all or whether all that we can know is that there is nothing worth knowing that…

Wyse, Adam E. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2018
A key part of determining cut-scores when performing Angoff standard setting is utilizing equating methods to place standard-setting ratings onto the scale used to report scores to examinees. This article describes three equating methods that can be employed to place Angoff ratings onto the scale used to report scores to examinees when applying…

McMaster, Kirby; Rague, Brian; Wolthuis, Stuart L.; Sambasivam, Samuel – Information Systems Education Journal, 2018
This research study provides an examination of the relatively new fields of Data Analytics and Data Science. We compare word rates in Data Analytics and Data Science documents to determine which concepts are mentioned most often. The most frequent concept in both fields is "data." The word rate for "data" is more than twice the…
