Ng, Hien Fuh; Ngeow, Yun Fong – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Relative quantification is a popular analysis in gene expression studies using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). However, the calculation steps using the major algorithms for this analysis are rather complicated. In this study, we developed an easy-to-use spreadsheet-based method for relative quantification. The inputs from end-users are the…

Mang, Julia; Küchenhoff, Helmut; Meinck, Sabine; Prenzel, Manfred – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2021
Background: Standard methods for analysing data from large-scale assessments (LSA) cannot merely be adopted if hierarchical (or multilevel) regression modelling should be applied. Currently various approaches exist; they all follow generally a design-based model of estimation using the pseudo maximum likelihood method and adjusted weights for the…

Sari, Ugur; Pektas, Hüseyin Miraç; Sen, Ömer Faruk; Çelik, Harun – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The need to benefit from information technologies in the twenty-first century digital age is increasing in all economies to overcome problems and difficulties and to have desired solutions. So, developing algorithmic thinking has been important as a skill that requires the application of knowledge from different disciplines, especially science,…

Johansson, B. Tomas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Evaluation of the cosine function is done via a simple Cordic-like algorithm, together with a package for handling arbitrary-precision arithmetic in the computer program Matlab. Approximations to the cosine function having hundreds of correct decimals are presented with a discussion around errors and implementation.

Stern, David; Stern, Roger; Parsons, Danny; Musyoka, James; Torgbor, Francis; Mbasu, Zach – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2020
The African Data Initiative started as a crowd-sourced campaign to improve the teaching of statistics in African universities. The analysis of climate data provides one suitable context to illustrate ideas that lead to a radical new form of teaching. The problem within the context comes first, the technicalities are largely reduced -- mathematics…

Rossano, Veronica; Roselli, Teresa; Quercia, Gaetano – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
The Computational Thinking recently has been recognised as one of the basic knowledge to be developed since childhood. Coding and computers are not just programming, but tools that help students to develop problem solving skills and more deep understand of the way things work. For these reasons, great attention has been focused on this topic both…

Nikolaev, Andrey B.; Sapego, Yuliya S.; Jakubovich, Anatolij N.; Berner, Leonid I.; Ivakhnenko, Andrey M. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
Management of traffic incident is a functional part of the whole approach to solving traffic problems in the framework of intelligent transport systems. Development of an effective process of traffic incident management is an important part of the transport system. In this research, it's suggested algorithm based on fuzzy logic to detect traffic…

O'Keeffe, Cormac – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2017
International Large Scale Assessments have been producing data about educational attainment for over 60 years. More recently however, these assessments as tests have become digitally and computationally complex and increasingly rely on the calculative work performed by algorithms. In this article I first consider the coordination of relations…

Chiu, Chia-Yi; Köhn, Hans-Friedrich; Wu, Huey-Min – International Journal of Testing, 2016
The Reduced Reparameterized Unified Model (Reduced RUM) is a diagnostic classification model for educational assessment that has received considerable attention among psychometricians. However, the computational options for researchers and practitioners who wish to use the Reduced RUM in their work, but do not feel comfortable writing their own…

Simic, Danijela – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2015
Stepwise program refinement techniques can be used to simplify program verification. Programs are better understood since their main properties are clearly stated, and verification of rather complex algorithms is reduced to proving simple statements connecting successive program specifications. Additionally, it is easy to analyse similar…

Edwards, Richard – Learning, Media and Technology, 2015
Openness has a long genealogy in education. Whether through the use of post, radio, television and digital technologies, extending learning opportunities to more and a wider range of people has been a significant aspect of educational history. Transcending barriers to learning has been promoted as the means of opening educational opportunities in…

Wang, Wen-Chung; Chen, Hui-Fang; Jin, Kuan-Yu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
Many scales contain both positively and negatively worded items. Reverse recoding of negatively worded items might not be enough for them to function as positively worded items do. In this study, we commented on the drawbacks of existing approaches to wording effect in mixed-format scales and used bi-factor item response theory (IRT) models to…

Delgado, M.; Fajardo, W.; Molina-Solana, M. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2013
In the last decades there have been several attempts to use computers in Music Education. New pedagogical trends encourage incorporating technology tools in the process of learning music. Between them, those systems based on Artificial Intelligence are the most promising ones, as they can derive new information from the inputs and visualize them…

Haberman, Shelby J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2013
A general program for item-response analysis is described that uses the stabilized Newton-Raphson algorithm. This program is written to be compliant with Fortran 2003 standards and is sufficiently general to handle independent variables, multidimensional ability parameters, and matrix sampling. The ability variables may be either polytomous or…

Lachance, Russ; Biaglow, Andrew – PRIMUS, 2012
This article examines the symbolic algebraic solution of the titration equations for a diprotic acid, as obtained using "Mathematica," "Maple," and "Mathcad." The equilibrium and conservation equations are solved symbolically by the programs to eliminate the approximations that normally would be performed by the student. Of the three programs,…
