Direct linkRaju, Dheeraj; Schumacker, Randall – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2015
The study used earliest available student data from a flagship university in the southeast United States to build data mining models like logistic regression with different variable selection methods, decision trees, and neural networks to explore important student characteristics associated with retention leading to graduation. The decision tree…

Download full textDeng, Jeremiah D.; Purvis, Martin K. – Informatics in Education, 2015
Service modelling has become an increasingly important area in today's telecommunications and information systems practice. We have adapted a Network Design course in order to teach service modelling to a mixed class of both the telecommunication engineering and information systems backgrounds. An integrated approach engaging mathematics teaching…

Rodriguez-Falces, Javier – Advances in Physiology Education, 2015
A concept of major importance in human electrophysiology studies is the process by which activation of an excitable cell results in a rapid rise and fall of the electrical membrane potential, the so-called action potential. Hodgkin and Huxley proposed a model to explain the ionic mechanisms underlying the formation of action potentials. However,…

Osler, James Edward, II; Mansaray, Mahmud – Journal on School Educational Technology, 2014
Many universities and colleges are increasingly concerned about enhancing the comprehension and knowledge of their students, particularly in the classroom. One of the method to enhancing student success is teaching effectiveness. The objective of this research paper is to propose a novel research model which examines the relationship between…

Peer reviewedAlbright, S. Christian – Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1975
Describes a methodology for allocating limited research funds to individual research proposals through the use of a goal-programming approach. Presents an example using hypothetical data, which illustrates the use of the model, particularly its sensitivity to different priority weighting schemes. (Author/JG)
Descriptors: Budgeting, Evaluation Methods, Higher Education, Institutional Role
Peer reviewedSchroeder, Roger G. – Management Science, 1973
Discusses applications and research of the management sciences in institutions of higher education. Includes (1) planning, programing, budgeting systems; (2) management information systems; (3) resource allocation models; and (4) mathematical models. In each, the major trends and literature are discussed and numerous references provided. Also…

Staman, E. Michael – 1981
The applicability of catastrophe theory to research in higher education is considered, with several problems that typically appear in the literature presented in a theoretical framework. A catastrophe model is attempted for each. The nature of mathematical modeling and the relationship between modeling continuous systems and discontinuous systems…

Peer reviewedDorn, William S. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1975
Describes two types of computer-based experiments: simulation (which assumes no student knowledge of the workings of the computer program) is recommended for experiments aimed at inductive reasoning; and modeling (which assumes student understanding of the computer program) is recommended for deductive processes. (MLH)
