Facilitators And Outcomes Of Stem-Education Groups Working Toward Disciplinary Integration, Anna E. Bargagliotti Jan 2018

Facilitators And Outcomes Of Stem-Education Groups Working Toward Disciplinary Integration, Anna E. Bargagliotti

Mathematics Faculty Works

There is a growing societal recognition of the need for transdisciplinary scholarly collaboration which can enhance undergraduate physics, science, and engineering education. A regional conference/network with 100 university education researchers in physics and other STEM fields was formed to address three themes (problemsolving, computational thinking, and equity) with multiple goals including to strive for transdisciplinary publications. As part of an ongoing participant observation study, phone interviews were conducted 3-4 months later. One year later, publications that were completed as a result of the conference were analyzed for their disciplinary integration. The papers showed evidence of interdispliciplanry collaboration but transdiciplinary collaboration …


An Analysis Of Secondary Teachers' Reasoning With Participatory Sensing Data, Anna E. Bargagliotti Jan 2017

An Analysis Of Secondary Teachers' Reasoning With Participatory Sensing Data, Anna E. Bargagliotti

Mathematics Faculty Works

"Participatory sensing is a data collection method in which communities of people collect and share data to investigate large-scale processes. These data have many features often associated with the big data paradigm: they are rich and multivariate, include non-numeric data, and are collected as determined by an algorithm rather than by traditional experimental designs. While not often found in classrooms, arguably they should be since data with these features are commonly encountered in daily life. Because of this, it is of interest to examine how teachers reason with and about such data. We propose methods for describing progress through a …

Linear Rank Tests Of Uniformity: Understanding Inconsistent Outcomes And The Construction Of New Tests, Anna E. Bargagliotti Jan 2012

Linear Rank Tests Of Uniformity: Understanding Inconsistent Outcomes And The Construction Of New Tests, Anna E. Bargagliotti

Mathematics Faculty Works

Several nonparametric tests exist to test for differences among alternatives when using ranked data. Testing for differences among alternatives amounts to testing for uniformity over the set of possible permutations of the alternatives. Well-known tests of uniformity, such as the Friedman test or the Anderson test, are based on the impact of the usual limiting theorems (e.g. central limit theorem) and the results of different summary statistics (e.g. mean ranks, marginals, and pairwise ranks). Inconsistencies can occur among statistical tests' outcomes - different statistical tests can yield different outcomes when applied to the same ranked data. In this paper, we …
