Rocío Álvarez-Arroyo; Carmen Batanero; María M. Gea – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Educating students to apply probability literacy and reasoning in out-of-school contexts requires the previous preparation of teachers, which should include the assessment of their mathematical and didactic knowledge. Consequently, we investigated three research questions concerning the probabilistic reasoning and literacy of 66 prospective…

Manuel T. Valdés; Miguel Requena – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
In countries with a school-entry cutoff date, individuals born right after the cutoff are almost 1 year older than individuals in the same school cohort born right before that date. Abundant research has documented that, as a result of that extra year of maturation and skill accumulation, older students in a cohort outperform their younger peers.…

Silvia Duran-Bonavila; Alicia Rodríguez-Gómez; Marta Becerril – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Grade repetition is an issue with important educational implications. This study analyzes the effect of cognitive variables, socio-economic status, as well as the interaction of socioeconomic status with ethnic origin, on the probability of not repeating. Data were collected to calculate socioeconomic status using the Hollingshead Socioeconomic…

Carmen Batanero; Luis A. Hernandez-Solis; Maria M. Gea – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
We present an exploratory study of Costa Rican and Spanish students' (11-16-year-olds) competence to compare probabilities in urns and compare ratios in mixture problems. A sample of 704 students in Grades 6 through to Grade 10, 292 from Costa Rica and 412 from Spain, were given one of two forms of a questionnaire with three probability comparison…

Di Meglio, Gisela; Barge-Gil, Andrés; Camiña, Ester; Moreno, Lourdes – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2022
Undergraduate internships have gained popularity among students, universities, governments and firms since the creation of the European Higher Education Area. However, empirical research on the relationship between internships and labour market performance of graduates is still scarce, particularly in Spain. This paper examines whether internships…

Ane Izagirre; Jon Anasagasti; Ainhoa Berciano – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
Probability literacy has gained importance in educational curricula. The aim of this research was to analyse secondary education teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching and to examine differences across the factors of gender, academic training, and work experience. From a positivist paradigm, a quantitative methodology was used.…

María del Mar López-Martín; María Burgos Navarro; Verónica Albanese – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
To ensure the learning of mathematics, teachers must be able to analyse their students' mathematical practices when solving tasks, interpret the difficulties that students encounter, and decide how to manage students' difficulties. This competence in didactic analysis and intervention allows teachers to adapt their teaching to meet individual…

Chavarro, Diego; Ràfols, Ismael; Tang, Puay – Research Evaluation, 2018
The assessment of research based on the journal in which it is published is a widely adopted practice. Some research assessments use the Web of Science (WoS) to identify 'high quality' journals, which are assumed to publish excellent research. The authority of WoS on journal quality stems from its selection of journals based on editorial standards…

Alegre, Francisco; Moliner, Lidon; Lorenzo-Valentin, Gil; Maroto, Ana – South African Journal of Education, 2021
The academic effects of learning statistics and probability through peer tutoring were analysed in the research reported on here. Two hundred and eight students enrolled in Grades 7, 8 and 9 participated. Fixed- and same-age peer tutoring was implemented 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Each tutoring session lasted approximately 25 minutes. The main…

Bárcena, M. J.; Garín, M. A.; Martín, A.; Tusell, F.; Unzueta, A. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2019
Teaching some concepts in statistics greatly benefits from individual practice with immediate feedback. In order to provide such practice to a large number of students we have written a simulator based on an historical event: the loss in May 22, 1968, and subsequent search for the nuclear submarine USS Scorpion. Students work on a simplified…

Caparrós-Ruiz, Antonio – Research in Higher Education, 2019
Education and research are considered as the cornerstones of the economic growth and the job creation for the Lisbon Strategy proposed by the European Union. Therefore, understanding the transmission channels of the educational investments to the society is important to inform policymakers and students about the benefits and opportunities…

Cecchini, Jose A.; Fernandez-Rio, Javier; Mendez-Gimenez, Antonio; Sanchez-Martinez, Beatriz – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Adolescence can be a difficult period of life characterised, among many other things, by a significant increase in depressive symptoms among girls. Recent studies have suggested that sedentary habits and self-determined motivation can be associated with depressive symptoms. The main goal of the present study was to examine the associations between…

Acosta-Ballesteros, Juan; Osorno-del Rosal, María del Pilar; Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Olga María – Journal of Education and Work, 2018
The objective of this paper is to identify the effect of education on young workers' time-related underemployment as well as analysing whether education has been a defence mechanism against the recent crisis. Especially relevant is the analysis regarding field of study, which has not been addressed in the underemployment literature. Using data…

Cansino, J. M.; Román, Rocío; Expósito, Alfonso – Education Sciences, 2018
This paper analyzes the impact of students' proactivity on academic performance based on a sample from students enrolled in an introductory course of Political Economy at the University of Seville (Spain) in three consecutive courses (2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017). Proactivity is measured by several indicators, such as class attendance,…
