Status in a psychological statistics class: The role of academic and status-based identities in college students’ subjective social status
Great effort has been invested in increasing STEM achievement among students, but feelings of low status among underrepresented or otherwise vulnerable students may be creating additional challenges. The present study assessed how perceptions of social status within the classroom—termed subjective social status—aligned with objective course performance and differed by sex, first-generation status, work status, and race/ethnicity among 713 student…
Watching a hands-on activity improves students’ understanding of randomness
Introductory statistics students struggle to understand randomness as a data generating process, and especially its application to the practice of data analysis. Although modern computational techniques for data analysis such as simulation, randomization, and bootstrapping have the potential to make the idea of randomness more concrete, representing such random processes with R code is not as easy for students to understand as is something like a…
The Better Book Approach for Education Research and Development
Background/Context Despite advances in the learning sciences, a persistent gap remains between research and practice. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study In this project, we develop and try out a new approach to education research and development in which researchers, designers/ developers, and instructors collaborate to continuously improve an online interactive textbook. Intervention/Program/Practice Using a “learn by doing” stra…
Competence Promoting Vs. Competence Inhibiting Social Support for Mentally Retarded Mothers
Social support for parents is primarily seen as promoting parental competence and well-being. Yet, social support may have a negative influence that can seriously inhibit effective parenting performance. Enthnographic research on mildly retarded parents is used to examine interpersonal aspects of social support to develop a multi-dimensional model of social support and parenting. The model, based on the assumption that the mere existence of a sup…
