D'Allegro, Mary Lou; Kerns, Stefanie – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2011
Data mining and statistical analyses at a less selective institution reveal that the relationships between parents' educational level and some first year success indicators are not linear. Specifically, students who report that either parent or guardian(s) have an educational level beyond a baccalaureate degree or do not report parent education…

Stump, Sheryl L. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2011
What is the role of patterns in developing algebraic reasoning? This important question deserves thoughtful attention. In response, this article examines some differing views of algebraic reasoning, discusses a controversy regarding patterns, and describes how three types of patterns--in contextual problems, in growing geometric figures, and in…

Warren, Elizabeth; Miller, Jodie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
The gap between young Indigenous and non-Indigenous children's capability within mathematics is widely acknowledged. This gap is conjectured to exist at all levels of schooling, including pre-school, and widens as children mature. Most of these findings are based on research relating to children's understanding of number and space. Little is known…

Bennett, Joanna; Muller, Ulrich – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2010
This study examined the development of flexibility and abstraction in preschool children by using a newly designed Pattern Completion Task (PCT) and the Flexible Item Selection Task (FIST). In the PCT, children were presented with an incomplete pattern consisting of different-colored shapes and were asked to select the colored shape that…

West, Darrell M. – Brookings Institution, 2012
Twelve-year-old Susan took a course designed to improve her reading skills. She read short stories and the teacher would give her and her fellow students a written test every other week measuring vocabulary and reading comprehension. A few days later, Susan's instructor graded the paper and returned her exam. The test showed that she did well on…

Zhu, Feida – ProQuest LLC, 2009
We studied the problem of constraint-based pattern mining for three different data formats, item-set, sequence and graph, and focused on mining patterns of large sizes. Colossal patterns in each data formats are studied to discover pruning properties that are useful for direct mining of these patterns. For item-set data, we observed robustness of…

Zanetti, Mary – Mathematics Teacher, 2009
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is a performing arts venue that includes the Woodstock Festival grounds in Sullivan County, New York. The center is adjacent to the original preserved site where visitors can see the historic field where hundreds of thousands of rock music lovers gathered in August 1969. In this article, students analyze a…

Tydgat, Ilse; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
In 6 experiments, the authors investigated the form of serial position functions for identification of letters, digits, and symbols presented in strings. The results replicated findings obtained with the target search paradigm, showing an interaction between the effects of serial position and type of stimulus, with symbols generating a distinct…

Ioannidou, Andri; Bennett, Vicki; Repenning, Alexander; Koh, Kyu Han; Basawapatna, Ashok – Online Submission, 2011
The iDREAMS project aims to reinvent Computer Science education in K-12 schools, by using game design and computational science for motivating and educating students through an approach we call Scalable Game Design, starting at the middle school level. In this paper we discuss the use of Computational Thinking Patterns as the basis for our…

Whitin, Phyllis; Whitin, David J. – Young Children, 2011
The habit of looking for patterns, the skills to find them, and the expectation that patterns have explanations is an essential mathematical habit of mind for young children (Goldenberg, Shteingold, & Feurzeig 2003, 23). Work with patterns leads to the ability to form generalizations, the bedrock of algebraic thinking, and teachers must nurture…

VanDerHeyden, Amanda M.; Broussard, Carmen; Snyder, Patricia; George, Jamie; Lafleur, Sara Meche; Williams, Candace – School Psychology Review, 2011
Early measures of mathematics skill and development have focused on early numeracy skills like counting, number identification, and sequencing of numbers. This study attempted to expand early mathematics assessment. Six new measures of early mathematics skill competence were developed and evaluated. Four existing measures also were examined.…

MacArthur, Charles A.; Alamprese, Judith A.; Knight, Deborah – National Institute for Literacy, 2010
"Making Sense of Decoding and Spelling: An Adult Reading Course of Study" is an evidence-based course of study designed to teach adult learners to decode and spell words more accurately and fluently. It is designed to be used as one component of a comprehensive adult reading course. The target population for the course is adult basic education…

Kadel, Rob – Learning & Leading with Technology, 2010
In education, data-driven decision making is a buzz word that has come to mean collecting absolutely as much data as possible on everything from attendance to zero tolerance, and then having absolutely no idea what to do with it. Most educational organizations with a plethora of data usually call in a data miner, or evaluator, to make some sense…

Petridou, Alexandra; Williams, Julian – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2010
Researchers have developed indices to identify persons whose test results "misfit" and are considered statistically "aberrant" or "unexpected" and whose measures are consequently potentially invalid, drawing the test's validity into question. This study draws on interviews of pupils and their teachers, using a sample…

Testa, Maria; Hoffman, Joseph H.; Livingston, Jennifer A. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2010
Objective: Women who experience sexual victimization, whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, are at elevated risk of sexual revictimization. The mechanism responsible for this robust association is unclear, however. The present study proposed and tested a prospective, mediated model that posited that the association between adolescent…
