Emergent Collective Argumentation Types In A Socio-Critical Mathematical Modeling Activity, Ayse Ozturk, Ozgul Kartal Jan 2026

Emergent Collective Argumentation Types In A Socio-Critical Mathematical Modeling Activity, Ayse Ozturk, Ozgul Kartal

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Socio-critical mathematical modeling encourages students to employ mathematics as a tool for social inquiry and action, promoting critical thinking and social awareness. While research on collective argumentation in mathematical modeling exists, its connection to socio-critical modeling remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining the types of collective argumentation that emerge during small-group and whole-group discussions as students navigate different phases of the modeling process. Using an adapted version of Toulmin’s argumentation model and a framework for socio-critical modeling phases, this study analyzes classroom discussions in which high school students engage in a modeling task focused on fair raise …

Exploring The Dynamics Of Romantic Relationships Through The Lens Of Prem Rog, Umang Jain, Dheeraj Sharma, Pranay Goswami, Kuldeep Malik Jan 2026

Exploring The Dynamics Of Romantic Relationships Through The Lens Of Prem Rog, Umang Jain, Dheeraj Sharma, Pranay Goswami, Kuldeep Malik

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Romantic relationships are dynamic events that begin, grow, and frequently remain for a long time in a stagnant or fluctuating state until possibly dissipating. Although they are unquestionably the most significant dynamic events in our lives, dynamic systems theory has only recently included them in its formal framework. Without a mathematical model, it would be impossible to analyze and comprehend the dynamics because, in general, love stories are too brief to allow things to stabilize and are affected by the ups and downs of the surrounding community. In this paper, we set up models made up of four ordinary differential …

Teaching Principles Of Macroeconomics In One Equation Jan 2026

Teaching Principles Of Macroeconomics In One Equation

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

We leverage the quantity theory of money in teaching because it represents well the big picture of macroeconomics and the relationships between key macroeconomic variables, providing a simple intuition and unified framework. To spark interest, we design authentic learning activities that begin with the opening minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) press conference. Then, we illustrate in a simple classroom experiment how quantity theory works and why it relates to the FOMC decisions. To further equip students with macro data interpretation skills, we assign group presentations on economic outlook for non-US countries.

Understanding The Option Greeks And Option Strategies: An Example Using Apple Earnings Jan 2026

Understanding The Option Greeks And Option Strategies: An Example Using Apple Earnings

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Students often struggle with understanding option price movements involving the interaction of option “Greeks” and option values. This case study examines the option price movements driven by delta, time decay, and implied volatility following an Apple earnings announcement. The exercise involves students strategically selecting options across multiple strategies and reveals the impact of changes in implied volatility which leads to counterintuitive option price reactions. The goal of the exercise is to bring awareness to the intricacies of option pricing in an empirical setting. We find that comprehension and retention increase significantly when a case study is performed using actual data.

Student Recognition Of Learning Gains: Evidence From Pre- And Post-Instruction Quizzes Jan 2026

Student Recognition Of Learning Gains: Evidence From Pre- And Post-Instruction Quizzes

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This study investigates whether students in upper-division economics courses can meaningfully recognize their learning gains over time, independent of instructor-assigned grades. Using a repeated quiz design grounded in authentic assessment, students engaged with real-world economic articles before formal instruction and again after substantial course content had been delivered. Students evaluated their responses from both rounds, while instructors independently assessed the same work. Results show that students not only perceived significant learning gains but also became more accurate in assessing their own performance over time. Additionally, early self-perceptions appear to modestly predict later outcomes, while the largest learning gains occurred among …

Introducing The Risk Parity Portfolio Optimization Approach To Students: A Note Jan 2026

Introducing The Risk Parity Portfolio Optimization Approach To Students: A Note

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Students have been well exposed to Markowitz’s (1952) Mean-Variance Optimization (Modern Portfolio Theory). Nevertheless, its subpar performance during the 2008 global financial crisis exposed it to significant criticism. As a result, a different strategy known as Risk Parity has attracted significant attention. Over the years, Risk Parity methods have gained popularity as investment solutions. As discussed in Fabozzi, Simonian, and Fabozzi (2021), estimates from Neuberger Berman, the total value of assets being managed using Risk Parity strategies is approximately $120 billion. However, with leverage, that number swells considerably, to $400 billion-$500 billion. The popularity of this methodology has spurred the …

An Empirical Implementation Of A Two-Standard-Deviation Investment Signaling Framework Across Multiple Asset Classes Jan 2026

An Empirical Implementation Of A Two-Standard-Deviation Investment Signaling Framework Across Multiple Asset Classes

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper presents a pedagogically driven application of a quantitative investment signaling model based on two standard deviation bands. Deviations beyond the two standard deviation range are interpreted as potential mean reversion signals, triggering tactical shifts in asset allocation or trading actions. Students construct the models in Excel using live market data, overlaying asset returns against calculated deviation bands to inform decisions. The firsthand approach emphasizes applied learning and critical thinking, with students analyzing model results and presenting empirical findings. Evidence suggests this experiential method significantly enhances student engagement, comprehension, and retention of investment strategy concepts across diverse financial settings

Coase, Thaler, And Behavioral Economics: Methodological Considerations Jan 2026

Coase, Thaler, And Behavioral Economics: Methodological Considerations

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

In their experiments to measure the endowment effect in market settings, Kahneman, Knetsch, and Thaler (1990; hereafter KKT) assessed the assumption of zero transaction costs associated with the Coase theorem. Their study recruited a sample of advanced undergraduate economics students who were placed in a market setting using coffee mugs as real-world goods, under conditions in which there were zero transaction costs. Their results suggested that an endowment effect lowered trading volume, which should not have occurred if Coase theorem worked in practice. We reexamine the research design employed by KKT, as well as their study’s statistical analysis and results.

Patient Adherence To Glucagon Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists In Obesity Management: A Narrative Review Of Real-World Evidence, Zainab M. Al-Shammaa, Heba M. Attash, Rahma S. Almallah, Abdulla Thamer, Fahad Saleem

Maaen Journal for Medical Sciences

Obesity has become a widespread public health problem in many regions of the world. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have a dual effect on glycemic control and weight loss. Liraglutide, semaglutide, and dulaglutide were first used in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and their use is now growing among people without diabetes. Obesity management requires long-term or even lifelong interventions, so adherence to prescribed therapy is critical for achieving weight loss and maintaining it over time. Patient adherence to GLP-1RAs varies depending on the medication used, its dosing frequency, and whether findings come from clinical trials or real-world …

What About Berber Studies? Archival Materials Around Saïd Cid Kaoui’S Dictionaries, Ouahmi Ould-Braham Jan 2026

What About Berber Studies? Archival Materials Around Saïd Cid Kaoui’S Dictionaries, Ouahmi Ould-Braham

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Based on archival documents, this article sheds light on a key moment in the history of Berber studies through the career of the Berberist Saïd Cid Kaoui (1859–1910) and the making of his bilingual dictionaries (Tamâheq/Tuareg and Berber varieties of Morocco). It reconstructs the scholarly and institutional context (orientalism, military and university settings, the École supérieure des lettres d’Alger), the publication process, and exchanges with expert reviewers at the Ministry. The analysis highlights issues of terminology, transcription, and standardization, and shows how these lexicographic tools helped structure and disseminate research on Berber varieties.

Editorial : Meaning: Between Heritage And Linguistic And Literary Itineraries, Nadia Kaaouas

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This second volume of the journal Faits de Langue et Société serves as an interdisciplinary crossroads, analyzing the linguistic and cultural mutations within Mediterranean and African spaces. Adopting an approach that rejects identity-based withdrawal, the work explores the mechanics of meaning by theorizing interculturality as an autonomous research model, capable of grasping both the historical figures of Andrée Chedid and the spatial tragedy of clandestine migration. This memorial vigil extends to the preservation of intangible heritage, from oral tales to the lexicographical archives of Saïd Cid Kaoui—fundamental pillars of the Amazigh language. Scientific rigor is further deployed through the study …

Private Equity, Public Utility, Kristen Van De Biezendos, Melissa Powers

Faculty Scholarship

The explosion of investment in artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies has spurred a data center boom, with politicians jostling to attract companies to build data centers in their states. The potential financial windfall from these data centers has also attracted the attention of private equity firms, which are seeking to capitalize on the potential riches to be made in supplying these projects with electricity by buying regulated public electric utilities. These utilities are unusual in our capitalist system, in that they are subject to both state and federal regulation regarding their duties to serve the public and the amount they can …

A Community-Based Participatory Research Approach To Evaluating Perceptions Of Bilingualism Among Latino Parents Of Autistic Children, Ana C. Ramirez, Philip Gerard Gasquoine, Amy A. Weimer, Gabriel González Núñez, Juan R. Maldonado-Coronado, Sarah Surrain, Ana M. Gonzalez-Barrero, Cecilia Montiel-Nava

Psychological Science Faculty Publications

Bilingualism has multiple benefits, however, non-native English speakers in the United States often lose their minority language. Nevertheless, language attrition is preventable, as parental perceptions of bilingualism (PoB) contribute to a child’s active use of each language and influence proficiency. At present, there is a significant gap in understanding how different cultures and belief systems might influence the language development of autistic children from bilingual Latino families. Furthermore, research on PoB among parents of autistic children has mainly been qualitative in nature. The purpose of this study was to (a) employ a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to develop a …

How A Stay-At-Home Father Plays A Role In Family Resilience?, Fatimah Fatimah, Eko Daryanto

Journal of Strategic and Global Studies

One of the impacts of modernization is the loss of barriers between job and particular gender. This also happens in the family unit, more specifically in the role of husband and wife. The husband's job which is identical to earn money and the wife's job is to manage the household should be able to be done more flexibly according to family conditions. This adaptation process is needed in order to strengthen family resilience. Non-traditional family composition that usually consist of a stay-at-home father and a working mother can be used as a family adaptation strategy. This study uses the results …
