Spinning Straw Into Gold: Transforming Information Into Knowledge During Web-Based Research, Kathleen Guinee, Maya B. Eagleton
Kathleen Guinee
Concerned by an "alarming number of students [who] unwittingly plagiarize" on research projects, Kathleen Guinee and Maya B. Eagleton developed a strategic notetaking strategy called CHoMP. Results with students of varied abilities and in various grades show that students can learn to evaluate sources for significant information and correctly paraphrase what they find.

An Exploration Of The Sexual Orientation And Educational Outcomes Of Undergraduate Fraternity Members, Larry D. Long
Larry D. Long
Previous research found an unwelcoming environment may hinder the identity development of college students. Furthermore, studies revealed gay, bisexual, and questioning (GBQ) students may encounter a hostile environment in college fraternities. This influenced the researcher to question if fraternities are as effective in producing educational gains for GBQ members as for heterosexual members. In the present study, the researcher sampled 286 GBQ and 286 heterosexual fraternity members from the aggregate results of the campuses that used the AFA/EBI Fraternity/Sorority Assessment in 2009 or 2010. The researcher conducted rank-based analyses of variance to assess the differences in personal gains, alcohol use, …

Children’S Participation In Research: Some Possibilities And Constraints In The Current Australian Research Environment, Anne Graham, Robyn Margaret Fitzgerald

These include prevailing understandings of children and childhood, the emerging research assessment environment and the ethical frameworks that regulate children’s involvement in qualitative research. The discussion is framed by a number of questions that remain unsettled for the authors as they attempt to pursue research with and for children and young people that is unselfconsciously focused on ‘improving’ rather than ‘proving’ the social conditions that shape their lives.

Does Question Type, Content And Gender Influence Student Understanding As Demonstrated In An Entrance Examination?, Ross Hudson, David Treagust
Dr Ross Hudson

These are multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions. This research examines the style of question but also the content type examined (recall and application questions) along with gender differences. The research involved an analysis of previous State University Examinations as well as class trial testing students of both genders on tests designed by the researcher. Rasch analysis of the class trial data was performed allowing comparison of question type and content performance as well as differential analysis …
