Online Mathematics Teacherpreneurs Developers on Teachers Pay Teachers
Online teacherpreneurs are teachers who use social media platforms to create, sell, and distribute educational resources to others. For many teachers, they have become the new curriculum developers in our virtually intensive world. Curriculum development in mathematics education has a large impact on how students understand concepts, but little is known about these online mathematics teacherpreneurs influences on the curriculum. Therefore, as par…
Developing Teachers as Critical Curators
Internet resources abound for preservice teacher (PST) use today, but we do not know how they choose and describe their implementation of them. This study investigates 158 elementary PSTs' lesson plans across eight courses to describe plan inspiration and justification. PSTs reported being inspired by cooperating teachers (CTs), friends and family members, university courses, and Internet resources. In some cases, these PSTs simply followed lesso…
A Meta-analysis of the Spacing Effect in Verbal Learning
The effects of repeated advertising exposures depend on the size of the interval, or space, between ad exposures. A meta-analysis of 97 verbal learning studies identified several stimulus characteristics and learning context factors that interact with stimulus spacing to facilitate memory for repeated information. The majority of the findings are consistent with the predictions of two enhanced processing explanations of learning—the retrieval hyp…
Interactive Home Shopping
The authors examine the implications of electronic shopping for consumers, retailers, and manufacturers. They assume that near-term technological developments will offer consumers unparalleled opportunities to locate and compare product offerings. They examine these advantages as a function of typical consumer goals and the types of products and services being sought and offer conclusions regarding consumer incentives and disincentives to purchas…
A Bayesian Analysis of the Information Value of Manipulation and Confounding Checks in Theory Tests
Past discussions of manipulation checks and related measures have produced disagreement about their role in tests of theoretical explanations of consumer behavior. We use a Bayesian analysis to examine what such measures contribute to researchers' beliefs about competing theories and suggest when and why manipulation and confounding checks add to the ability to differentiate among alternative theoretical explanations of empirical results. We firs…
Hypothesized and Confounded Explanations in Theory Tests
Traditional views of research methodology hold that little, if any, useful information can be obtained from one or more confounded studies, unless the results from one study rule out or falsify an alternative explanation from a previous study. We present a Bayesian analysis of hypothesis testing to model knowledge accumulation from a series of confounded or unconfounded experiments. By applying this Bayesian analysis, we find that a hypothesis ca…
Demand Artifacts in Laboratory Experiments in Consumer Research
Demand artifacts may influence the results of experiments in consumer behavior. After reviewing problems of demand artifacts, this article discusses four methods to investigate demand bias. Several suggestions involving experimental design, measures, and procedures to try to reduce demand problems in consumer research are presented
