Månsson, Anders – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2022
In this paper it is investigated if the mental computation strategies in the research literature are enough to satisfactorily categorize the mental computation strategy use by preservice elementary teachers (PETs) in subtraction on two-digit natural numbers. The PETs' use of mental computation strategies is measured operationally with a written…

Stonehouse, Paul; Furman, Nate – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2022
How long will it take to get from "Point A" to "Point B"? Estimating the answer to this question is essential for outdoor leaders to accurately and safely manage their outdoor adventure education course. By being able to carefully estimate the amount of time needed to travel a particular route, over the course of a day or an…

Van Der Auwera, Stijn; De Smedt, Bert; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
This study examined adults' frequent, efficient and adaptive use of direct subtraction (DS) and subtraction by addition (SBA) in mental multi-digit subtraction with the choice/no-choice method. Participants were offered subtractions in one choice condition (choice between DS and SBA) and two no-choice conditions (mandatory use of either DS or…

Ezeamuzie, Ndudi O.; Leung, Jessica S. C.; Garcia, Raycelle C. C.; Ting, Fridolin S. T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: The idea of computational thinking is underpinned by the belief that anyone can learn and use the underlying concepts of computer science to solve everyday problems. However, most studies on the topic have investigated the development of computational thinking through programming activities, which are cognitively demanding. There is a…

Jackson, David W.; Cheng, Yihong – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background and Context: Computational thinking and practices (CT|P) are key competencies for learners in science and engineering. For studies with young adolescents as participants, manifested research philosophies are sometimes inconsistent with societal pluralisms. Objective: Based on research literature from 2016 to early 2019 for CT|P in…

Ramírez, Rafael; Cañadas, María C.; Damián, Alba – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
This study lies within the field of early-age algebraic thinking and focuses on describing the functional thinking exhibited by six sixth-graders (11- to 12-year-olds) enrolled in a curricular enhancement program. To accomplish the goals of this research, the structures the students established and the representations they used to express the…

Saritepeci, Mustafa – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2022
One of the fundamental obstacles associated with technology integration into educational settings is classroom management problems. In this sense, it is important to delve into the crucial factors playing key role in classroom management in ICT assisted courses. In this study, the relationship between classroom management in technology-enriched…

Budiyanto, Cucuk Wawan; Fenyvesi, Kristof; Lathifah, Afra; Yuana, Rosihan Ari – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
The delivery of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning to improve an individual's competence and future career interests has become a critical scientific undertaking for teachers and researchers alike. A plethora of research has proposed various hands-on robotics activities built on constructivist theories, thereby…

Vallo, Dusan; Fulier, Jozef; Rumanova, Lucia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper, we present a novel solution of the quadrature of a parabola based on application of Ramanujan's formula for the partial sum of the square roots of the first "n" natural numbers. We also derive a new formula for calculating of area of a parabolic segment and we apply the result to a generalization of some classical theorems…

Yanli Xie – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this dissertation is to develop principles and strategies for and identify limitations of multisite cluster randomized trials in the context of partially and fully nested designs. In the first study, I develop principles of estimation, sampling variability, and inference for studies that leverage multisite designs within the context…

Stemler, Steven E.; Naples, Adam – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
When students receive the same score on a test, does that mean they know the same amount about the topic? The answer to this question is more complex than it may first appear. This paper compares classical and modern test theories in terms of how they estimate student ability. Crucial distinctions between the aims of Rasch Measurement and IRT are…

Daza, Sebastian; Kreuger, L. Kurt – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
Although agent-based models (ABMs) have been increasingly accepted in social sciences as a valid tool to formalize theory, propose mechanisms able to recreate regularities, and guide empirical research, we are not aware of any research using ABMs to assess the robustness of our statistical methods. We argue that ABMs can be extremely helpful to…

Mathur, Maya B.; VanderWeele, Tyler J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
Meta-regression analyses usually focus on estimating and testing differences in average effect sizes between individual levels of each meta-regression covariate in turn. These metrics are useful but have limitations: they consider each covariate individually, rather than in combination, and they characterize only the mean of a potentially…

Edwards, Ashley A.; Joyner, Keanan J.; Schatschneider, Christopher – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
The accuracy of certain internal consistency estimators have been questioned in recent years. The present study tests the accuracy of six reliability estimators (Cronbach's alpha, omega, omega hierarchical, Revelle's omega, and greatest lower bound) in 140 simulated conditions of unidimensional continuous data with uncorrelated errors with varying…
