Tamara Broderick; Andrew Gelman; Rachael Meager; Anna L. Smith; Tian Zheng – Grantee Submission, 2022
Probabilistic machine learning increasingly informs critical decisions in medicine, economics, politics, and beyond. To aid the development of trust in these decisions, we develop a taxonomy delineating where trust in an analysis can break down: (1) in the translation of real-world goals to goals on a particular set of training data, (2) in the…

Marianna Bosch; Angel Gutierrez; Salvador Llinares – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
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…

Brenna Curley; Jillian Downey – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
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…

Carvalhaes, Flavio; Senkevics, Adriano S.; Ribeiro, Carlos A. Costa – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
This paper investigates the intersection of income and race in structuring access to higher education among students that participate in a national high-stakes exam in Brazil. Our objectives are (1) to estimate the probability of students coming from different income strata, racial groups, and performance levels to access higher education and (2)…

Eleni Tsami; Andreas Rokopanos; Dimitris Anastasopoulos – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2023
Mathematical education in Greece is constantly evolving in the pursuit of optimal learning outcomes for students despite their cognitive differences. This study seeks to gain insight into the use of new technologies in teaching probability theory and the gender differences in the comprehension of probability theory. To this end, a survey was…

Lijin Zhang; Xueyang Li; Zhiyong Zhang – Grantee Submission, 2023
The thriving developer community has a significant impact on the widespread use of R software. To better understand this community, we conducted a study analyzing all R packages available on CRAN. We identified the most popular topics of R packages by text mining the package descriptions. Additionally, using network centrality measures, we…

Ava Greenwood; Sara Davies; Timothy J. McIntyre – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
This article is motivated by the importance of developing statistically literate students. The authors present a selection of problems that could be used to motivate student interest in probability as well as providing additional depth to the curriculum when used alongside traditional resources. The solutions presented utilise natural frequencies…

Nikiforidou, Zoi; Jones, Jennie – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
Young children encounter uncertainty and challenges on a daily basis; through their intuitions, experiences and experimentation they construct knowledge, skills and dispositions towards probabilistic concepts. The aim of this exploratory ethnographic study is to identify how young children engage with probabilistic thinking and reasoning while…

Cassidy, Sarah A.; Bradley, Louise; Cogger-Ward, Heather; Shaw, Rebecca; Bowen, Erica; Glod, Magdalena; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Rodgers, Jacqui – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
We explored the appropriateness and measurement properties of a suicidality assessment tool (SBQ-R) developed for the general population, in autistic adults--a high risk group for suicide. 188 autistic adults and 183 general population adults completed the tool online, and a sub-sample (n = 15) were interviewed while completing the tool.…

White, Peter M.; Lee, David M. – Research in Higher Education, 2020
The relationship between geography and the selection of university is well documented and suggests that a student's location substantially limits their choice of institution. However, there are few studies investigating the interplay between geography and the decision to attend university, particularly in the UK. This study aims to establish if…

Brenner, Philip S.; Cosenza, Carol; Fowler, Floyd J., Jr. – Field Methods, 2020
What subject lines and messages in an e-mailed invitation maximize cooperation for a web survey? Answering this question is ever more important as survey researchers increasingly turn to web surveys to reduce costs. We test respondents' preferences for subject lines and messages in an e-mailed invitation to participate in a Consumer Assessment of…
