Jamelia Harris – Field Methods, 2024
Not knowing the population size is a common problem in data-limited contexts. Drawing on work in Sierra Leone, this short take outlines a four-step solution to this problem: (1) estimate the population size using expert interviews; (2) verify estimates using interviews with participants sampled; (3) triangulate using secondary data; and (4)…

Treschman, Keith – Teaching Science, 2022
The topic of the seasons is covered in both primary and secondary schools in Australia. It may be difficult for some students to comprehend how the Sun alters its position throughout the year. This article shows how to calculate the changing rising and setting positions of the Sun for one's locality and the extremes of its elevation near noon over…

Felipe Gonzalez-Pizarro; Claudia Lopez; Andrea Vasquez; Carlos Castro – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
While computational thinking arises as an essential skill worldwide, formal primary and secondary education in Latin America rarely incorporates mechanisms to develop it in their curricula. The extent to which students in the region acquire computational thinking skills remains largely unknown. To start addressing this void, this article presents…

Rizk, Nadya; McKenzie, Matt; Samrout, Marya – Teaching Science, 2022
Coding is a process often associated with computers. Nevertheless, coding is a thought process that can be mastered even without a computer. In NSW, primary students are introduced to computational and algorithmic thinking as early as Stage 1. Yet, teaching coding to young students is not always easy for teachers, mostly because the process is…

Ahirwal, Mitul Kumar; Kumar, Prabhat – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2023
Nowadays, with increasing competitiveness in every field, securing a good job may be difficult. In this connection, students aiming to get into the best educational institution (EI) would give them their best chance of quality education and good job opportunities. Institutional evaluation and selection are complex tasks that must simultaneously…

Mandanici, Marcella; Di Filippo, Roberto; Delle Monache, Stefano – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
This paper describes an educational experience realized in the form of extracurricular workshops involving music technology students of the "V. Gambara" music high school in Brescia (Italy). By means of a participatory prototyping experience, the project aimed at fostering the students awareness and understanding of technological means…

Oliveira, Vitor – Physics Education, 2022
We discuss the limits of the equation of the period of a simple pendulum, T[subscript s] = 2[pi][square root]l/g, frequently used in high-school and university classrooms to measure the acceleration of gravity. We evaluate the relative error in determining the acceleration of gravity with this simple equation instead of a more realistic one,…

Fávero, Luiz Paulo; Souza, Rafael de Freitas; Belfiore, Patrícia; Corrêa, Hamilton Luiz; Haddad, Michel F. C. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
In this paper is proposed a straightforward model selection approach that indicates the most suitable count regression model based on relevant data characteristics. The proposed selection approach includes four of the most popular count regression models (i.e. Poisson, negative binomial, and respective zero-inflated frameworks). Moreover, it…

Irene Mauricio Cazorla; Miriam Cardoso Utsumi; Sandra Maria Magina – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
This article aims to present a first approximation of the conceptual field of measures of central tendency (MCT), grounded in the theory of conceptual fields. We propose six situations according to type of variable, data presentation (raw or grouped) and amount of data. We revisit specific situations for the mean and exemplify several…

Martínez, Sergio; Rueda, Maria; Arcos, Antonio; Martínez, Helena – Sociological Methods & Research, 2020
This article discusses the estimation of a population proportion, using the auxiliary information available, which is incorporated into the estimation procedure by a probit model fit. Three probit regression estimators are considered, using model-based and model-assisted approaches. The theoretical properties of the proposed estimators are derived…

Raykov, Tenko; Goldammer, Philippe; Marcoulides, George A.; Li, Tatyana; Menold, Natalja – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
A readily applicable procedure is discussed that allows evaluation of the discrepancy between the popular coefficient alpha and the reliability coefficient of a scale with second-order factorial structure that is frequently of relevance in empirical educational and psychological research. The approach is developed within the framework of the…

Hemer, David – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
This paper describes an investigation looking at the underlying mathematics of poker machines. The aim of the investigation is for students to get an appreciation of how poker machines are designed to ensure that in the long-term players will inevitably lose when playing. The first part of this paper describes how students can model a simple poker…

Love, Tyler S.; Griess, Carolyn J. – Science and Children, 2020
Computational thinking has been taught in elementary classrooms in other countries for many years, but in the United States this has only been a focus recently due to the drastic shortage of computer scientists. Early exposure to computational thinking has been shown to motivate students to pursue STEM careers, especially computer science (Jin,…

Quinnell, Lorna – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2017
Compared to the use of the word "average" in the media and in everyday conversations, an average is used very precisely in mathematics. This is complicated by the fact that there are three different types of averages: means, medians, and modes. As with other concepts, scaffolding understanding of mathematical averages is important. Such…

Hossain, M. Alamgir; Menz, Petra M.; Stockie, John M. – PRIMUS, 2022
We present a question bank consisting of over 250 multiple-choice and true--false questions covering a broad range of material typically taught in an introductory undergraduate course in numerical analysis or computational science. The questions are ideal for polling students during lectures by means of a student response system that uses…
