This paper introduces the LEGO® Database, a large natural dataset that can be used to teach Structured Query Language (SQL) and relational database concepts. This dataset is well-suited for introductory and advanced database assignments and end-of-semester group projects. The data is freely available from Kaggle.com and contains eight tables with…

Data mining has been successfully and widely utilized in educational information systems, and an important research field has been formed, which is educational data mining. Process mining inherits the characteristics of data mining which can not only use historical data in the system to analyze learning behavior and predict academic performance,…

Learning is a multimodal process, and learning analytics (LA) researchers can readily access rich learning process data from multiple modalities, including audio-video recordings or transcripts of in-person interactions; logfiles and messages from online activities; and biometric measurements such as eye-tracking, movement, and galvanic skin…

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the platforming scenario at a Brazilian university as well as the data security process for students and professors. Design/methodology/approach: This research brings an analysis through a qualitative approach of the platformization process in a Brazilian teaching institution. Findings: The results point to a…

A major pre-award administrative challenge research universities face is turnaround time for generation of high-quality NIH Data Training Tables for NIH training grants (e.g., T32, K12, TL1, KL2, R25s) which are required for training grant submission proposals to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Universities with dedicated training grant…

Sport analytics remains a growing area in the sport industry. As such, the demand for skills and knowledge in this area has grown. This demand includes off-field data, such as marketing trends, as well as financial data related to sport organizations. There has been a trickle-down effect in sport management (and other) education programs to teach…

Purpose: In light of a need for more critical education about datafication, this paper aims to develop a framework for critical datafication literacy that is grounded in theoretical and empirical research. The framework draws upon existing critical data literacies, an in-depth analysis of three well-established educational approaches - media…

Substantial shares of eligible students forgo or lose access to tuition-free college benefits, in part due to limited access to information on eligibility and other requirements. Given students' dependence on the Internet for information on how to pay for college, we examine the availability and digital accessibility of critical program…

Undergraduate economics programs prepare students for future careers by developing competency working with data, or "data literacy." Our research examined the data literacy components of undergraduate economics programs at R1 and R2 universities in the United States (N = 190). We developed a protocol with core data skills and coded…

This work reports on the implementation of a self-contained data-literacy exercise designed for use in undergraduate classes to help students practice data literacy skills such as interpreting and evaluating evidence and assessing arguments based on data. The exercises use already developed data-visualizations to test and develop students' ability…

Eye tracking has taken hold in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingualism as a valuable technique for researching cognitive processes, yet a comprehensive picture of reporting practices is still lacking. Our systematic review addressed this gap. We synthesized 145 empirical eye-tracking studies, coding for 58 reporting features and…

We propose a new method for analyzing and visualizing information on a large collection of personal networks to uncover the socio-centric structure of relationships among aggregated actors that we clustered into categories. The network of categories identifies the links between groups of sampled ego actors sharing a given attribute (e.g.,…

The number of meta-analyses of aggregate data has dramatically increased due to the facility of obtaining data from publications and the development of free, easy-to-use, and specialised statistical software. Even when meta-analyses include the same studies, their results may vary owing to different methodological choices. Assessment of the…

Background: This study examines the engagement of knowledge users in knowledge mobilisation (KMb) research on Canadian K-12 teaching and education policy. Research on and around KMb has grown in the decade since this field was first assessed comprehensively. Thus, it is timely to re-evaluate if current knowledge producer-user relationships in KMb…

As ideas from data science become more prevalent in secondary curricula, it is important to understand secondary teachers' content knowledge and reasoning about complex data structures and modern visualizations. The purpose of this case study is to explore how secondary teachers make sense of mappings between data and visualizations, especially…
