Frank C. Butler; Deborah M. Mullen; Kathleen K. Wheatley – Journal of Education for Business, 2025
Anecdotal evidence suggests that students with quantitative business majors (e.g., finance, accounting, data analytics, economics) outperform students from less quantitatively rigorous majors (e.g., management, human resource management, marketing) on a business simulation game at a mid-sized, southeastern, public, AACSB accredited university. We…

Izadi, Dina; Ley, César Eduardo Mora; Díaz, Mario Humberto Ramírez – Physics Education, 2017
Succeeding theories and empirical investigations have often been built over conceptual understanding to develop talent education. Opportunities provided by society are crucial at every point in the talent-development process. Abilities differ and can vary among boys and girls. Although they have some responsibility for their own growth and…

Muehlbauer, Thomas; Schindler, Christian; Panzer, Stefan – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2010
Data from speed skating during World Cup 1,500-m middle-distance races were analyzed to (a) determine the time/velocity distribution during the race and (b) assess the impact of time spent in several race sectors on performance outcome. Absolute and relative sector times for the first 300 m (S1) and the following three 400-m laps (S2-S4) and their…

Murphy, Richard; Weinhardt, Felix – Centre for Economic Performance, 2013
We find an individual's rank within their reference group has effects on later objective outcomes. To evaluate the impact of local rank, we use a large administrative dataset tracking over two million students in England from primary through to secondary school. Academic rank within primary school has sizable, robust and significant effects on…

Leder, Gilah C.; Pederson, David G.; Pollard, Graham H. – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
In this paper we draw on data from a large mathematics competition, for the years 1987 to 2000 and use two different but closely related measures to investigate possible gender differences in performance. Our analyses revealed that small gender differences in favour of males persisted but had decreased over time. Consistent with reports from…
