The last decades have seen an unprecedented growth in the availability and accessibility of data, highly influenced by the ubiquity of digital media and the internet. As society contends with data's increasing impact on the nature of knowledge, communication, and privacy, it faces a pressing need for citizens who are intelligent producers and…

Why do I work? Despite instructors' best efforts, students struggle to understand how different people answer this question differently. This exercise enables students to explore what motivates them in comparison to their peers and previous generations while reinforcing the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Students…

Through time-series graphs, teachers often evaluate progress monitoring data to make both low- and high-stakes decisions for students. The construction of these graphs--specifically, the presence of an aimline and the data points per x- to y-axis ratio (DPPXYR)--may impact decisions teachers make. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the…

Lipidomics is a discipline that focuses on the identification and quantification of lipids. Although a part of the larger omics field, lipidomics requires specific approaches for the analysis and biological interpretation of datasets. This article presents a series of activities for introducing undergraduate microbiology students to lipidomic…

Powered by educational policy recommendations around the world, studies on different aspects of data-driven decision making have soared both in number and scope in different educational contexts. However, despite the availability of diverse data, second or foreign language research has been quite tardy in the study of language teachers'…

This conceptual article considers data used in the humanities and the human sciences, which are fundamentally different from data in other disciplines, such as the sciences or medicine. Data in the humanities are, however, equally important to study and understand. Humanists and others studying human artifacts often face the dual challenge of both…

Gaze data are still uncommon in statistics education despite their promise. Gaze data provide teachers and researchers with a new window into complex cognitive processes. This article discusses how gaze data can inform and be used by teachers both for their own teaching practice and with students. With our own eye-tracking research as an example,…

Background: Emotions are inherently intertwined with learning and disciplinary identity, and this relationship demands that teachers attend and respond to students' emotions. In this study, we forward a theory that the development of "pedagogical empathy," or the capacity to understand the implications of student emotions and use…

Although student advising is known to improve student success, its application is often inadequate in institutions that are resource constrained. Given recent advances in large language models (LLMs) such as Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), automated approaches such as the AutoScholar Advisor system affords viable alternatives to…

We describe how one department moved from skepticism to wide-spread embrace of coordinated Calculus I. Data played a crucial role in this process. Details of this journey, including successful strategies and missteps, may provide insight and perspective to other departments starting on, or immersed in, similar transformational adventures.
