Guo, Ling – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The success of data mining relies on the availability of high quality data. To ensure quality data mining, effective information sharing between organizations becomes a vital requirement in today's society. Since data mining often involves sensitive information of individuals, the public has expressed a deep concern about their privacy.…

Greer, Brian – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2010
A remarkable feature of the set of papers in this issue is the consistent pattern of tending to deal with non-linear situations as if they are linear that is shown by students widely differing in age and educational systems, and studying various topics within mathematics. Methodological issues about the difficulty of interpretation of student…

Dunn, Karee E.; Airola, Denise T.; Lo, Wen-Juo; Garrison, Mickey – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2013
Classroom level data driven decision-making (DDDM) involves the use of data to identify patterns of performance that reveal students' academic strengths and weaknesses relative to established learning goals, and the planning of instructional practices to support academic success for all students. Although DDDM is not a new paradigm in education,…

Jarman, Jay – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This dissertation focuses on developing and evaluating hybrid approaches for analyzing free-form text in the medical domain. This research draws on natural language processing (NLP) techniques that are used to parse and extract concepts based on a controlled vocabulary. Once important concepts are extracted, additional machine learning algorithms,…

Abdous, M'hammed; He, Wu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Because of their capacity to sift through large amounts of data, text mining and data mining are enabling higher education institutions to reveal valuable patterns in students' learning behaviours without having to resort to traditional survey methods. In an effort to uncover live video streaming (LVS) students' technology related-problems and to…

Conrad, Nicole J.; Levy, Betty Ann – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2011
Although research has established that performance on a rapid automatized naming (RAN) task is related to reading, the nature of this relationship is unclear. Bowers (2001) proposed that processes underlying performance on the RAN task and orthographic knowledge make independent and additive contributions to reading performance. We examined the…

DeBoer, Jennifer – Peabody Journal of Education, 2012
As detailed in the articles throughout this issue, the U.S. education system experienced a number of structural developments throughout the 20th century. These changes served to shift the landscape of decision-making authority in multiple areas of primary and secondary schooling. This article provides an international perspective on the changes…

Rubenstein, Rheta N.; Thompson, Denisse R. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2012
Mathematics is rich in visual representations. Such visual representations are the means by which mathematical patterns "are recorded and analyzed." With respect to "vocabulary" and "symbols," numerous educators have focused on issues inherent in the language of mathematics that influence students' success with mathematics communication.…

Kidd, Julie K.; Gadzichowski, K. Marinka; Gallington, Deb A.; Lopez, Claudia; Pasnak, Robert – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
In early elementary school in most English-speaking countries children are taught "patterning," which involves learning repetitive patterns of colors or shapes (e.g., red, blue, green, red, blue, green). The present study was designed to test the effectiveness of patterning instruction when compared to equal amounts of instruction in…

Yavas, Mehmet – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
This article is a comparative look at the cluster reduction patterns of English #sC onsets in three groups of children. Data from 40 monolingual, 40 Spanish-English bilingual and 40 Haitian Creole-English bilingual children were examined. While there were several similarities in the patterns exhibited by the three groups, there was a sharp…

Ming, Norma; Baumer, Eric – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2011
Facilitating class discussions effectively is a critical yet challenging component of instruction, particularly in online environments where student and faculty interaction is limited. Our goals in this research were to identify facilitation strategies that encourage productive discussion, and to explore text mining techniques that can help…

Turner, Nigel E.; Liu, Eleanor; Toneatto, Tony – International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, 2011
The study examined the perception of random lines by people with gambling problems compared to people without gambling problems. The sample consisted of 67 probable pathological gamblers and 46 people without gambling problems. Participants completed a number of questionnaires about their gambling and were then presented with a series of random…

Beigie, Darin – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Initial exposure to algebraic thinking involves the critical leap from working with numbers to thinking with variables. The transition to thinking mathematically using variables has many layers, and for all students an abstraction that is clear in one setting may be opaque in another. Geometric counting and the resulting algebraic patterns provide…

Ricketts, Jessie; Bishop, Dorothy V. M.; Pimperton, Hannah; Nation, Kate – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2011
This study explores how children learn the meaning (semantics) and spelling patterns (orthography) of novel words encountered in story context. English-speaking children (N = 88) aged 7 to 8 years read 8 stories and each story contained 1 novel word repeated 4 times. Semantic cues were provided by the story context such that children could infer…
