Differences of Opinions
When people make decisions based on data, they often disregard variability in the data and place disproportionate emphasis on central tendency. However, visualizations differ in how they depict variability, and in some tasks and domains, research has also observed that people can be sensitive to variability, such as with customer ratings. In the current study, participants were randomly assigned to different visualizations of ratings data, and we…
Incorporating an LMS learning analytic into proactive advising
ManyClasses 2
We conducted a ManyClasses study in 30 different classes, where student participants (n = 1,571) were assigned to watch two online lecture videos, and one of these videos (order randomized) was immediately preceded by ungraded multiple-choice prequestions, with no feedback or answers shown. In the laboratory, decades of research have observed that prequestions reliably improve learning from subsequent instruction when compared to instruction not …
Concentration toward the mode
When making comparisons between groups of students, a common technique is to analyze whether there are statistically significant differences between the means of each group. This convention, however, is problematic when data are negatively skewed and bounded against a performance ceiling, features that are typical of data in education settings. In such a situation, we might be particularly interested to observe group differences in the left tail,…
Time After Time
Research in cognitive linguistics and in processing of temporal metaphors has traditionally distinguished between Moving-Ego and Moving-Time mappings: Either the Ego is construed as moving regarding fixed temporal landmarks or Time is construed as moving regarding the Ego. Both of these metaphors involve time events in reference to an Ego, which specifies the present time Now.We build on recent theoretical suggestions for a more fundamental class…
