Structural-Symbolic Translation Fluency: Reliability, Validity, And Usability, Matt C. Hoskins
Structural-Symbolic Translation Fluency: Reliability, Validity, And Usability, Matt C. Hoskins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Standardized formative mathematics assessments typically fail to capture the depth of current standards and curricula. Consequently, these assessments demonstrate limited utility for informing the instructional implementation choices of teachers. This problem is particularly salient as it relates to the mathematical problem solving process. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric characteristics of Structural-Symbolic Translation Fluency, a curriculum-based measure (CBM) of mathematical problem solving. The development of the assessment was based on previous research describing the cognitive process of translation (Mayer, 2002) as well as mathematical concept development at the quantitative, structural, and symbolic levels (Dehaene, …
Middle School Noncognitive Development In A Sample Of Hispanic/Latino Youth, Jill E. Mcvey
Middle School Noncognitive Development In A Sample Of Hispanic/Latino Youth, Jill E. Mcvey
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the development of noncognitive skills in a sample of 4,769 Hispanic/Latino students as they went through middle school and the first year of high school using ACT Engage 6-9, an assessment designed to predict student outcomes by measuring students' behaviors and psychosocial attributes. The scales of Academic Discipline, Relationships with School Personnel, and Thinking before Acting were examined longitudinally through HLM analysis. The factors of gender and several indices of academic achievement were used to predict differences in students' starting scores and growth over time.
All factors related to academic achievement were significantly related to differences in …
A Systematic Review Of Studies Using Gettier-Type Thought Experiments, Maximilian Popiel
A Systematic Review Of Studies Using Gettier-Type Thought Experiments, Maximilian Popiel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Experimental epistemologists have recently begun using Gettier-type thought experiments to test various philosophic theories. Generally speaking, these thought experiments present a justified, true belief which intuitively does not seem like knowledge. Despite the studies using this same general definition, they have exercised a myriad of different particular Gettier cases and experimental methods. Some results have been conflicting, or otherwise counter-intuitive, and interpretations of their findings have been divergent. The present study was a systematic review of these experiments, with a focus on experimental methods. Studies were compared on readability and factors effecting participant fatigue and comprehension. The results suggest that …
