Yamashita, Yasunori; Giang, Hoang Ngan; Oyama, Tatsuo – International Journal of Higher Education, 2019
This article reports on the performance of the research funding system of 61 Japanese national universities, specifically the Japanese Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (GASR) system. The competitive Japanese research funding system is quantitatively investigated and measured, focusing on the GASR fund and its relationship with the Japanese…

Günes, Gökhan; Sahin, Volkan – Education 3-13, 2019
This study examines pre-school children's learning styles by utilising a mathematical model. The model uses a Euclidean geometry algorithm to generate a graphical representation of the learning styles. The algorithm of the developed mathematical model was developed as a practical application of the theoretical assumptions. Index of Learning Styles…

Laruelle, Annick; Navarro, Noemí; Escobedo, Ramón – Sociological Methods & Research, 2019
In this article, we study a simple mathematical model of a bilingual community in which all agents are fluent in the majority language but only a fraction of the population has some degree of proficiency in the minority language. We investigate how different distributions of proficiency, combined with the speakers' attitudes toward or against the…

Chew, Maureen Siew Fang; Shahrill, Masitah; Li, Hui-Chuan – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
A mathematics framework was developed to integrate problem-solving that incorporated simulation of real-life problems in the classrooms. The framework coined as the "RECCE-MODEL" emphasised understanding and thinking with a view on mathematics embedded in real-life. The "RECCE" which stands for Realistic, Educational,…

Soboleva, Elena V.; Suvorova, Tatyana N.; Zenkina, Svetlana V.; Bocharov, Mikhail I. – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2021
The problem that the given paper aims to solve is associated with the need to resolve the contradiction between the requirements of the digital economy for a high level of computational thinking of specialists of the future and an insufficiently developed methodological base for training graduates that meets these requirements. The purpose of the…

Hidayat, Riyan; Idris, Wan Izani Wan; Qudratuddarsi, Hilman; Rahman, Muhamad Nazri Abdul – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This work sets out to examine the validity and reliability of the Mathematical Modeling Attitude Scale (MMAS), a instrument measuring teachers' attitude towards mathematical modeling. A cross-sectional survey research was utilised to describe the validity and reliability of the MMAS. The population of the present study focused on Malaysian…

Baumer, Benjamin S.; Garcia, Randi L.; Kim, Albert Y.; Kinnaird, Katherine M.; Ott, Miles Q. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
We present a programmatic approach to incorporating ethics into an undergraduate major in statistical and data sciences. We discuss departmental-level initiatives designed to meet the National Academy of Sciences recommendation for integrating ethics into the curriculum from top-to-bottom as our majors progress from our introductory courses to our…

Kim, Peter – ProQuest LLC, 2022
While language aptitude and motivation are considered to be important contributors to second language (L2) attainment, two major gaps in the past research have been (1) a lack of nonlinear models stemming from a naive and tacit assumption that learning outcomes are linearly related to their predictors, and (2) a lack of unified and integrative…

Aaron Phipps; Alexander Amaya – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2022
Given the simultaneous rise in time-to-graduation and college GPA, it may be that students reduce their course load to improve their performance. Yet, evidence to date only shows increased course loads "increase" GPA. We provide a mathematical model showing many unobservable factors -- beyond student ability -- can generate a positive…

Grebenev, Igor V.; Lebedeva, Olga V.; Polushkina, Svetlana V. – Physics Education, 2018
The article proposes a new research object for a general physics course--the vapour Cartesian diver, designed to study the properties of saturated water vapour. Physics education puts great importance on the study of the saturated vapour state, as it is related to many fundamental laws and theories. For example, the temperature dependence of the…

Sinclair, Nathalie; Patterson, Margaret – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2018
The goal of this paper is to explore dynamic geometry environments (DGE) as a type of computer programming language. Using projects created by secondary students in one particular DGE, we analyse the extent to which the various aspects of computational thinking--including both ways of doing things and particular concepts--were evident in their…

Kula Unver, Semiha; Hidiroglu, Caglar Naci; Tekin Dede, Ayse; Bukova Guzel, Esra – European Journal of Educational Research, 2018
The purpose of this study is to reveal factors considered by mathematics student teachers while posing modelling problems. The participants were twenty-seven mathematics student teachers and posed their modelling problems within their groups. The data were obtained from the modelling problems posed by the participants, their solutions on these…

Marshall, Jill A.; Durán, Pablo – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Several major organizations have recommended revisions to mathematics requirements for biology majors. To determine whether these changes would benefit future biologists, we investigated mathematics use in research biology. We surveyed prominent journals in high and low math-use areas for articles referencing the use of quantitative methods. In…

Zapata-Cardona, Lucía – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This paper addresses how students explore, construct, validate and use statistical models when facing situations designed from a socio-critical perspective. The case study used is a statistics lesson designed by a statistics teacher and a researcher. The lesson centers on nutritional information and was implemented in a 7th-grade classroom at a…

Patel, Anne; Pfannkuch, Maxine – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Some researchers advocate a statistical modeling approach to inference that draws on students' intuitions about factors influencing phenomena and that requires students to build models. Such a modeling approach to inference became possible with the creation of "TinkerPlots" Sampler technology. However, little is known about what…
