Purpose: Upon graduating from university, many engineers will work in new product development and/or technology adoption for continuous improvement and production optimization. These jobs require employees to be cognizant of ethical practices and implications for design. However, little engineering coursework, outside the traditional ABET…

Data and computational literacies empower youth to be active participants and future leaders in our increasingly data-driven society. We conducted a design-based research project in which a small group (n = 5) of high school youth from diverse backgrounds learned how to code and create data visualizations and stories with public data about climate…

Teaching statistics to undergraduate business students is an enduring challenge, often due to student apprehension and low understanding of relevance. The Data to Decision Project is an approach designed to address this challenge. At the onset of an introductory statistics course, fifty-two students received instruction on the Define, Collect,…

This article presents an innovative way to engage schoolchildren in discussions on multilingualism and multilingual identity using research data they helped generate. Adopting an exploratory, participatory approach to research, our study uses digital data visualisations in interactive sessions aimed at engaging lower secondary students in identity…

Data harmonization is an emerging approach to strategically combining data from multiple independent studies, enabling addressing new research questions that are not answerable by a single contributing study. A fundamental psychometric challenge for data harmonization is to create commensurate measures for the constructs of interest across…

In an increasingly data-driven society, making decisions with data is a requirement not only for research scientists but also for navigating life more generally (Kjelvik & Schultheis, 2019). An informed citizenry must be prepared to discover patterns, predict outcomes, make decisions with data, and evaluate data-based claims for legitimacy and…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of missing data imputation methods, namely regression imputation (RI), multiple imputation (MI) and k-nearest neighbor (kNN) on differential item functioning (DIF). In this regard, the datasets used in the research were created by deleting some of the data via the missing completely at random…

The flipped classroom (FC) is a pedagogical model with an active learning concept and a hybrid course design that reverses the typical lecture process. Given the widespread use of online delivery methods, there is a need to explore the FC in delivering statistics courses. This study employs a prospective quasi-experimental study design to evaluate…

Several factors can impede the writing process of students with dyslexia. One recommended adjustment to help them overcome these writing challenges is the use of personal computers for writing. The research underscores the significance of effective keyboarding skills in optimizing the benefits of computer-based writing for these students, with…

We review analytic frameworks related to the study of noticing in mathematics and science education for the purpose of suggesting trends in research literature across both disciplines over time. We focus on highly cited articles in both mathematics and science noticing research, along with recent articles in both disciplines. We focus specifically…

Analyzing qualitative data from learning processes is considered "messy" and time consuming (Chi in J Learn Sci 6(3):271-315, 1997). It is often challenging to summarize and synthesize such data in a manner that conveys the richness and complexity of learning processes in a clear and concise manner. Moreover, qualitative data often…

Recently, there has been increasing interest in comparing educational leadership measures, such as principal school leadership, using International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs) data. However, there are doubts about the uniformity of measurement across countries participating in the ILSAs. There are concerns that the robustness and psychometric…

The wide application of big data not only provides convenience for the teaching between teachers and students, but also plays a great role in the education and training of college students. However, how to cultivate students' ability to learn English independently in the current era remains to be studied. Under the background of big data, it is…

Considering the shortcomings of large evaluation errors, long time, human, and material resources in the evaluation process of the current college teaching mode to improve the accuracy of the evaluation of college teaching mode and reduce the cost of the evaluation, this study proposes an evaluation method for college teaching methods based on…

The level of information technology is increasing, and technology is developed. University English teaching has also changed under its influence. Different from the traditional teaching in the past, more and more students adopt the mode of "Internet + Smartphone" to learn English. This paper proposes a teaching mode evaluation method in…
