Eybers, Sunet; Hattingh, Mariè – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
Data is everywhere. As a result the need for data scientists with the correct skill set to analyze and interpret the data has escalated. Not surprisingly, data scientists are currently one of the most wanted professions. Tertiary institutions are faced with the challenge of producing students with the correct blend of theoretical knowledge and…

Adler, Jill; Ronda, Erlina – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2015
We describe and use an analytical framework to document mathematics discourse in instruction (MDI), and interpret differences in mathematics teaching. MDI is characterised by four interacting components in the teaching of a mathematics lesson: exemplification (occurring through a sequence of examples and related tasks), explanatory talk (talk that…

Delen, Ibrahim; Krajcik, Joseph – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
Explanation studies underlined the importance of using evidence in support of claims. However, few studies have focused on students' use of others' data (second-hand data) in this process. In this study, students collected data from a local water source and then took all the data back to the classroom to create scientific explanations by using…

Hogan, Thomas P.; Zaboski, Brian A.; Perry, Tiffany R. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2015
How does the student untrained in advanced statistics interpret results of research that reports a group difference? In two studies, statistically untrained college students were presented with abstracts or professional associations' reports and asked for estimates of scores obtained by the original participants in the studies. These estimates…

Lem, Stephanie; Onghena, Patrick; Verschaffel, Lieven; Van Dooren, Wim – Educational Psychology, 2013
Recent studies have shown that the interpretation of graphs is not always easy for students. In order to reason properly about distributions of data, however, one needs to be able to interpret graphical representations of these distributions correctly. In this study, we used Tversky's principles for the design of graphs to explain how 125…

Bishop, D. V. M. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2013
Background: Our ability to look at structure and function of a living brain has increased exponentially since the early 1970s. Many studies of developmental disorders now routinely include a brain imaging or electrophysiological component. Amid current enthusiasm for applications of neuroscience to educational interventions, we need to pause to…

So, Winnie Wing-mui – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2013
Science as inquiry and mathematics as problem solving are conjoined fraternal twins attached by their similarities but with distinct differences. Inquiry and problem solving are promoted in contemporary science and mathematics education reforms as a critical attribute of the nature of disciplines, teaching methods, and learning outcomes involving…

Iskandar, Sam; Baird, Anne D. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2014
Although several types of figurative language exist, neuropsychological tests of non-literal language have focused on proverbs. Metaphors in the form X is (a) Y (e.g., "The body's immunological response is a battle against disease.") place a lower demand on language skills and are more easily manipulated for novelty than proverbs.…

Jasti, Chandana; Hug, Barbara; Waters, Jillian L.; Whitaker, Rachel J. – American Biology Teacher, 2014
Recent scientific studies are providing increasing evidence for how microbes living in and on us are essential to our good health. However, many students still think of microbes only as germs that harm us. The classroom activities presented here are designed to shift student thinking on this topic. In these guided inquiry activities, students…
