Length of the Unused Bed (LUB) methods for scaling sorbers have confusing and complicated pedagogically elements. One method limits feeds to C/C[subscript F] < 0.3; a limitation not stated in the established textbooks. Discussed is a new LUB method with no limitation on the feed C/C[subscript F]. It fixes the pedagogically confusing and…

Recent research suggests the benefits of supporting a progressive understanding of concepts of inference prior to the teaching of procedures and formal calculations through the study of informal statistical inference (ISI). To contribute to the growing knowledge about the early learning and teaching of statistics, particularly regarding the…

Introduction: Among the contemporary models developed, the updated Bloom's taxonomy has become the most widely used cognitive process model for gauging learning questions. This model emphasizes the cognitive levels starting from remembering information and progresses to advanced levels such as producing knowledge. Even though students use a…

Mathematics is often taught by lecturing students on how to perform procedures, but it could be taught in ways that promote active student engagement and develop deep conceptual understanding. Research supports the latter approach as better for students' retention, engagement, and success with learning mathematics. An important time to influence…

Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Repeated Readings intervention at improving reading fluency and reading comprehension. However, research on the effectiveness of fluency interventions focuses on young children, with limited research on the effects on college-age populations. The primary purpose of the current study was…
