Jones, Kenneth D., II. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The primary purpose of this study is to determine how students are impacted by the use of Classroom Response System (CRS) technology. This research explores the nature of the outcomes experienced by students and their perceptions on the leading pedagogy and practices for using CRS technology in the classroom. The research is both quantitative and…

Shen, Warren H. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
This dissertation studies information extraction (IE), the problem of extracting structured information from unstructured data. Example IE tasks include extracting person names from news articles, product information from e-commerce Web pages, street addresses from emails, and names of emerging music bands from blogs. IE is all increasingly…

Zhuang, Ziming – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The amount of online information has grown exponentially over the past few decades, and users become more and more dependent on ranking and recommendation systems to address their information seeking needs. The advance in information technologies has enabled users to provide feedback on the utilities of the underlying ranking and recommendation…

Freeman, Ramona; Swim, Terri Jo – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2009
This article examines two constructs--ritual and intellectual integrity--as they might unfold in early childhood settings. The authors use the popular practices of closed-ended crafts, calendar exercises, and worksheets to highlight the difference between learning experiences that have become formulaic habits and those that reflect rich and potent…

Wetstein, Matthew; Hays, Brianna; Nguyen, Alyssa – Association for Institutional Research (NJ1), 2011
This study seeks to extend the literature on higher education enrollment patterns during times of recession by examining patterns of enrollment and successful course completion in one of the world's largest higher education systems--the California Community College system. The data are drawn from publicly available data sources on the web. CCC…

Olsen, Robert J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
I describe how data pooling and data visualization can be employed in the first-semester general chemistry laboratory to introduce core statistical concepts such as central tendency and dispersion of a data set. The pooled data are plotted as a 1-D scatterplot, a purpose-designed number line through which statistical features of the data are…

Ding, Cody S. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2008
This study examines the baseline change profiles of academic performance (math and English) trajectories during the high school transition for the students who went from middle school to high school. Using multidimensional scaling growth profile analysis, we identified a no-change group plus 4 other groups with different change profile types: 1…

How to Say No: Single- and Dual-Process Theories of Short-Term Recognition Tested on Negative Probes
Oberauer, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Three experiments with short-term recognition tasks are reported. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants decided whether a probe matched a list item specified by its spatial location. Items presented at study in a different location (intrusion probes) had to be rejected. Serial position curves of positive, new, and intrusion probes over the probed…

Li, Qing; Zhao, Jianmin; Zhu, Xinzhong – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
Supporting efficient data access in the mobile learning environment is becoming a hot research problem in recent years, and the problem becomes tougher when the clients are using light-weight mobile devices such as cell phones whose limited storage space prevents the clients from holding a large cache. A practical solution is to store the cache…

Morris, Phillip; Thrall, Grant – Association for Institutional Research (NJ1), 2010
Geographic analysis has been adopted by businesses, especially the retail sector, since the early 1990s (Thrall, 2002). Institutional research can receive the same benefits businesses have by adopting geographic analysis and technology. The commonalities between businesses and higher education institutions include the existence of trade areas, the…

Flores, Alfinio – Mathematics Teacher, 2008
University mathematics education courses do not always provide the opportunity to make connections between advanced topics and the mathematics taught in middle school or high school. Activities like the ones described in this article invite such connections. Analyzing concrete or particular examples provides a better grasp of abstract concepts.…

Diemers, Agnes D.; Dolmans, Diana H. J. M.; Verwijnen, Maarten G. M.; Heineman, Erik; Scherpbier, Albert J. J. A. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2008
Several reasons have been given why students should have contacts with real patients early in the undergraduate medical curriculum, i.e., in the preclinical phase. However, it is not clear exactly what effects early patient contacts have with regard to knowledge construction and the development of clinical reasoning skills. We sought students'…

Mulligan, Joanne; Mitchelmore, Mike; Kemp, Coral; Marston, Jennie; Highfield, Kate – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2008
Virtually all mathematics is based on pattern and structure. A mathematical "pattern" is any predictable regularity, usually involving numbers or space. In every pattern, the various elements are organised in some regular fashion. The way a pattern is organised is called its "structure," which may be numerical or spatial. In…

Kellman, Philip J.; Massey, Christine M.; Son, Ji Y. – Grantee Submission, 2009
Learning in educational settings emphasizes declarative and procedural knowledge. Studies of expertise, however, point to other crucial components of learning, especially improvements produced by experience in the extraction of information: perceptual learning (PL). We suggest that such improvements characterize both simple sensory and complex…

Notar, Charles E.; Barkley, Jordan M. – Education, 2009
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) proposition 3 states "teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning." They know how "...to organize instruction to meet instructional goals." This article provides 14 organizational patterns for use in organizing instruction in any of the content areas. The 14…
