This research explores the emerging field of data science from the scientometric, curricular, and altmetric perspectives and addresses the following six research questions: 1.What are the scientometric features of the data science field? 2.What are the contributing fields to the establishment of data science? 3.What are the major research areas of…

Data are becoming increasingly important in science and society, and thus data literacy is a vital asset to students as they prepare for careers in and outside science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and go on to lead productive lives. In this paper, we discuss why the strongest learning experiences surrounding data literacy may arise…

The current study aimed to review studies on computational thinking (CT) indexed in Web of Science (WOS) and ERIC databases. A thorough search in electronic databases revealed 96 studies on computational thinking which were published between 2006 and 2016. Studies were exposed to a quantitative content analysis through using an article control…

As information technology continues to evolve rapidly, programming skills become increasingly crucial. To be able to construct superb programming skills, the training must begin before college or even senior high school. However, when developing comprehensive training programmers, the learning and teaching processes must be considered. In order to…

The goal of the dissertation study was to evaluate the existing DG scheduling algorithm. The evaluation was developed through previously explored simulated analyses of DGs performed by researchers in the field of DG scheduling optimization and to improve the current RT framework of the DG at TTU. The author analyzed the RT of an actual DG, thereby…

Discusses several ways in which computers are being used in sociology and how they continue to change this discipline. Areas considered include data collection, data analysis, simulations of social processes based on mathematical models, and problem areas (including standardization concerns, training, and the financing of computing facilities).…

This publication is primarily designed for educational practitioners who possess little or no training in conducting mail surveys or have not kept current on the present state of the art of survey methods and techniques. It is also intended to be a checking and comparing aid to ensure that important research considerations are taken into account.…

This bibliometric study of the computer science literature in Nigeria examines such factors as growth and size of the literature, formats, journal characteristics, organizers of conference proceedings, and geographical spread of contributing cities. Problems are identified and recommendations for improvement are offered. (CLB)

Attitudinal measures of training and control group engineering students showed positive and significant gains for the treatment group both in attitude toward the effectiveness of on-line searches and for the number of citations yielded. Cost-effectiveness was greater for on-line searches than for manual searches. (Author/IRT)

THIS SURVEY RELATES ESTIMATES ON (1) AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY EXPENDITURES FOR COMPUTERS IN RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES, (2) AVAILABILITY OF COMPUTERS AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTIONAL USAGE IN GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC AREAS, AND (3) DEGREE PROGRAMS OFFERED IN COMPUTER SCIENCE. A STRATIFIED…

The Information Exchange Procedures (IEP) cost study project of the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems is described and its applicability to six major research universities (MRU) is assessed in this pilot study. The IEP enables peer institutions to compare information about their resources, activities, and educational…
