Sohaib Ahmad; Javid Shabbir – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2025
This study aims to suggest a generalized class of estimators for population proportion under simple random sampling, which uses auxiliary attributes. The bias and MSEs are considered derived to the first degree approximation. The validity of the suggested and existing estimators is assessed via an empirical investigation. The performance of…

Yuan Hsiao; Lee Fiorio; Jonathan Wakefield; Emilio Zagheni – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
Obtaining reliable and timely estimates of migration flows is critical for advancing the migration theory and guiding policy decisions, but it remains a challenge. Digital data provide granular information on time and space, but do not draw from representative samples of the population, leading to biased estimates. We propose a method for…

Guo, Hongwen – ETS Research Report Series, 2017
Data collected from online learning and tutoring systems for individual students showed strong autocorrelation or dependence because of content connection, knowledge-based dependency, or persistence of learning behavior. When the response data show little dependence or negative autocorrelations for individual students, it is suspected that…

Meli, Kalliopi; Zacharos, Konstantinos; Koliopoulos, Dimitrios – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2016
This article presents a case study that examines the level of integration of mathematical knowledge in physics problem solving among first grade students of upper secondary school. We explore the ways in which two specific students utilize their knowledge and we attempt to identify the epistemological framings they refer to while solving a physics…

Bendjebar, Safia; Lafifi, Yacine; Seridi, Hamid – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2016
In e-learning systems, the tutors play many roles and carry out several tasks that differ from one system to another. The activity of tutoring is influenced by many factors. One factor among them is the assignment of the appropriate profile to the tutor. For this reason, the authors propose a new approach for modeling and evaluating the function…

LoPresto, Michael C. – Physics Education, 2012
What follows are several investigations involving string musical instruments developed for and used in a "Science of Sound & Light" course. The experiments make use of a guitar, orchestral string instruments and data collection and graphing software. They are designed to provide students with concrete examples of how mathematical formulae, when…
