Students - Science topic

I am a graduate student in production engineering at the federal university of goiás and I need scientific articles to learn more about my profession

If my research is to find an optimized method to analyze procrastination in online submissions among students, and I want to use Finite Mixture Model (FMM), can you suggest on which part in the algorithm can I focus on in order to make the modification as part of my research contribution?

My feeling/perception is that *most* (even the vast majority of) undergraduate engineering degree programs worldwide:

(a) Don't or barely include systems thinking in the learning objectives of their course syllabi.

(b) Are (still) heavily invested in passive instructional methods that tend not to foster students’ systems thinking. Meaning, lectures and recitations are the majority and the norm over active learning methods which involve application, collaboration, discussion, and reflection by students.

(c) Don’t provide instructors with the pedagogical training required to foster and assess students’ systems thinking.

(d) Don’t assess students’ systems thinking in any documented and consistent way. I’m not even getting into whether the assessment is valid, reliable, and cost-effective.

All the above are especially absent in the earlier years of the degree program.

Question 1: What are your thoughts about my perception of the landscape? Does it match what you know or feel?

Question 2: Is anyone aware of studies that survey systems thinking inclusion in undergraduate engineering curricula (worldwide, US, or in any other country)?

Looking forward to your comments, facts, and opinions on these questions or on anything else that comes to mind!

p.s. For a previous discussion on whether systems thinking should even be taught in first-year education, see here: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Should_we_teach_systems_thinking_to_first-year_engineering_students_or_should_we_wait_until_theyve_acquired_disciplinary_knowledge_and_skills

I would like to do a research on the issues and challenges faced by higher education institutions involved in internationalization and student mobility.

Please give me some advice on what angle I should look at it. Shall I investigate on ethics and value or issues and challenges faced by the host country?

Thank you.

How to build the cognitive ability of university students؟

I am an organic chemistry student that has recently read a paper called "Natural Hydrogen Sulfide Donors from Allium sp. as a Nutraceutical Approach in Type 2 Diabetes Prevention and Therapy" and it talked about the enzymatic production of H2S.

I want to ask about the non-enzymatic production of H2S via reduction of Diallyl Disulfide(DADS) by L-glutathione(GSH). Specifically, if there is a method of avoiding the pathway leading to the production of H2S via GSH substituting at the alpha-carbon of DADS?

What are the required skill set for 21st-century STEM university students?

I am a undergraduate student new in the research of brain-mapping. I am currently switching from FreeSurfer to FastSurfer to speed up the brain-mapping process.

I am using a MacBook with Apple Silicon. When I tried to run FastSurfer with Docker, the speed was really slow. When I tried to run it natively, run_fastsurfer.sh didn't seem to be running properly. However, it seems that running FastSurfer natively on Apple Silicon should be feasible based on my online research.

Could anyone familiar with this topic give me any suggestions?

Thank you so much for your time in advance.

What I want to say is that IELTS might assess accurately to a certain extent if a person has an advanced level of English or is at the intermediate or beginner level (Band 0-9). However, if we base English instruction solely on the IELTS framework, will students be adequately prepared to function in a university setting? Are there more effective methods of teaching English that extend beyond a sole emphasis on IELTS or other commonly recognized English exams?

I have to forecast number of enrollments for an international univeristy , challenge is there are only few years of data.So, my data looks somewhat like this as attached

Enroled number of students data are from 2018 to 2022 , 2021-2022 is covid period and 2022 is partial covid. Based on this small sets of data how can i forecast for the next each year i.e. 2023 ?

There are other attributes as well with this data , for example local/international student , country of origin , post graduate or under graduate program, home country , residency

Someone refered me V shaped recovery , but 2022 dropped off again it seems to me W shaped recovery but not sure - based on this condition how can i identify which shape of recovery will it be? Any idea in this scenario how can i forecast using this small number data which is only 5 number of records?

This is my recent publication on the learning experiences of social work students in India published by the Journal of Social Work (SAGE). Some of the challenges by the students have been mentioned here. Please go through it and let us discuss some of challenges faced by students in your own country when it comes to online learning. Is it the same in your country?

Thanks.

In curriculum theory, learning, teaching, and assessment are fundamental concepts that shape the educational process. Here are their definitions in relation to curriculum theory:

In curriculum theory, the interplay between learning, teaching, and assessment is crucial for designing and implementing effective educational programs. These components should be aligned with each other and with the broader goals and philosophy of the curriculum to optimize student's learning experiences and outcomes.

Sometime ago for ease of calculations, I have given the following exercise to my students to find out if there is any significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (with a fixed difference of 3 between each pair):

Pre-test: 5 -8- 10- 11-14-17

Post-test: 8-11-13-14-17-20

Surprisingly, students came back to me with no possible answer! SPSS provides no answer either for this type of problems as the denominator in t-test formula turns to be zero and calculations could not continue. Simply because a division by zero is undefined.

I am wondering if there is any solutions for such problems?

I am recruiting students from a special education integration programme classroom. This classroom has more than one disabilities of students (in example: autism, intellectual disability, down syndrome, Adhd).

I would only want mild autism. Data of mild autism in that state has been received. Some school has 1 student only and some school has 10. The range is between 1 to 10 students in each school.

I am planning to do a quasi experimental study of 2 groups (conventional group and intervention group).

The problem is what sampling to use to recruit when there are limited mild autism in each school?

Tq so much for guidance. Help and advice is appreciated:)

Engaging in illegal activities such as involving students in potentially illegal clinical trials is unethical and against the law. Clinical trials are conducted to test the safety and efficacy of new drugs or medical treatments before they can be approved for public use. These trials must adhere to strict ethical guidelines and regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of participants.

Pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy colleges are typically expected to adhere to ethical standards and follow legal regulations when conducting clinical trials or collaborating on any research. Involving students in clinical trials without proper consent, adherence to ethical standards, and oversight can lead to serious legal and ethical consequences.

Universities and colleges generally have Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or Ethics Committees that oversee research involving human participants, including clinical trials. These bodies ensure that research is conducted in an ethical manner and that participants' rights and safety are protected. Students and researchers involved in clinical trials must follow these guidelines and obtain proper approvals before conducting any research involving human participants.

If you suspect any unethical or illegal activities related to clinical trials, it's important to report them to the appropriate authorities, such as your institution's IRB, regulatory agencies, or legal authorities, as applicable in your jurisdiction.

I want to analyze the research problem in education data mining, with machine learning algorithms, I want to build a model that suggest school students which domain to select for higher education, with evaluating the dataset of student as well as the dataset of higher education of the same student.

How do ESL students learn best in higher education in terms of reading and writing?

Dear Colleagues,

In the period of civilization 5.0, the educational institution of universities exist. The objective of Society 5.0 is for everyone to actively participate in advancing the use of digital technology across a wide range of processes. From many prior notions, the way society approaches and manages social issues has altered. Society has advanced from many of these previous notions with such ground-breaking projects as Society 1.0 (hunger gatherer), Society 2.0 (agricultural), Society 3.0 (industrialized), and Society 4.0. (information). It is believed that systems of the social and virtual worlds would be able to close any gaps and address any problems throughout the Society 5.0 timeframe. In order to actualize or prepare for era society 5.0 in the domain of education, students need to be able to think critically, constructively, and creatively, as well as having an appropriate understanding of their learning styles. Being intelligent and well-integrated with both the real and digital worlds, civilization 5.0 is a society. Salgues (2018) asserts that Society 5.0 has the following characteristics: (1) complete adoption of ICT; (2) community focus; (3) engagement of people; (4) shared ideals of sustainability, inclusiveness, effectiveness, and intellectual power; and (5) development of economic disruption. Higher education institutions are essential to sustainability. As a consequence of quality management systems or participation in voluntary initiatives, such as the Principles for Responsible Management Education, higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly being asked to report how they promote and integrate sustainability. The preparation of future leaders who will assist the execution of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) takes place in large part in higher education institutions. Higher Education 4.0 is the term used to describe the change brought about by Industry 4.0 in higher education and instructional approaches (called an Education or Edu 4.0). The rising need for a more sustainable society has had a substantial influence on higher education, according to Marques et al. (2019). This field's academics, students, and politicians confront an increasing sustainability dilemma. Education is the driving force behind fostering sustainability, since it is a vital instrument for communication and the basis of the "sustainable attitude." This notion contends that "a systemic approach to knowledge, one which goes beyond technical knowledge and even understands the principles of a healthy environment and a functional community" is required.

Hello

Dear Colleagues

This is my participants I want to know which sampling is suitable for this my research?

Purposive sampling or convenience sampling

can you help me more?

Participants in this study were selected from the population of the sixth grades students who were learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in three English Language institutions in Rezvanshahr city, Iran during the winter semester of 2022. Six grade students were only male, their age level were ranged from twelve to thirteen years old. 100 elementary level of six grade students were chosen from 120 six grade students of Iran who were learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in three English Language institutions in Rezvanshahr City, Iran based on their scores on the Oxford Quick Placement Test (OQPT) (See Appendix A) and all students had participated in the Oxford placement test prior to the onset of the course, and their scores ranged from a total band score of 0 to 25 which is correspondent to the A1 elementary level according to the interpreting scores of Oxford placement test (See Table 3.2).

It is worth noting that all the sample population in this research were sixth grade male students who were in the same socio-economic status, geographical area and socio-cultural level in the Rezvanshahr city of Guilan province in the winter semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. After homogenizing, some of the population was dropped out from the study. The researcher then randomly divided the participants into two intact groups, an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 50 six graders.

Greetings professors, students and those interested in mathematics. We know that according to a theorem in geometry, all straight line shapes can be converted into a triangle with the same area and equivalent to those shapes. The question I have today is whether there is a method by which any indirect shape of a geometric line can be converted into Convert another shape with the same amount of area? Is there a principle or theorem about this? Is this possible at all? If the answer is yes, has there ever been a way to answer this question? If it is impossible, what is the reason? moreThanks

I am a degree student. and when I started publication, I had a bit of naive faith that my ultimate goal of research was to contribute to humanity, which is generally what research is about. but with time, I came to realize that for many lecturers ( and I would say researchers). the ultimate goal is to make sure that they have as many publications as possible since this is the main route to getting promoted and developing your career as an academic. and I also found myself doing the same things, since I need to get a scholarship for my master, I started just to make any sort of research and publication( without considering how much meaningful it is). but at the same time, I try to remind myself frequently of my first naive faith in doing researcher to help humanity. and I really want to know how others really manage to balance and resolve this type of conflict.

Question to software engineering researchers and educators: which excellent recent A-rated research articles (maximum 5 years old) in the software evolution/engineering field to recommend for master-level computer science students without research background (yet). No literature surveys please. All suggestions welcome!

I would like to know if the mean score on financial knowledge of graduate students is greater than the mean score of subgraduate students. I already did an independent sample T-test in SPSS, but I'm not sure if I should proceed with the analysis of the results because the sample of subgraduate students appears not be normally distributed.

The p-value of both normality tests (Kolmogorov and Shapiro) for subgraduate students are less than the level of significance of 0.05. So, there is not a normal distribution for subgraduate students.

I have to mention that the sample size for subgraduate students is 127 and the sample size for graduate students is 29. For graduate students the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk p-value is .200 and .180, respectively (greater than the 0.05 level of significance), so for graduate students (althoug she sample size is less than subgraduate students) the assumption of normality is met.

What do you recommend? Should I select another test?

Thanks in advance.

Explanation: The question focuses on the utilization of technology in the context of education and aims to explore how it can be effectively incorporated into teaching and learning practices to improve student engagement and overall academic performance. The question seeks insights into strategies, methodologies, and best practices that educators and institutions can adopt to maximize the benefits of technology in the educational setting.

In the question, "integration of technology" refers to the incorporation of digital tools, software, hardware, and online resources into traditional teaching methods. Examples of technology integration may include using interactive whiteboards, educational apps, virtual reality simulations, online collaboration platforms, and learning management systems.

The term "teaching and learning process" refers to the complete cycle of educational activities, from lesson planning and content delivery by teachers to knowledge acquisition and skill development by students. It encompasses the various stages of instruction, classroom interactions, assessments, and feedback mechanisms.

The primary focus of the question is to seek practical and evidence-based suggestions on how technology integration can positively impact student engagement. This might include aspects such as increasing student motivation, fostering active participation, promoting self-directed learning, or tailoring learning experiences to individual student needs.

The question also addresses the connection between technology integration and learning outcomes. Learning outcomes are the measurable knowledge, skills, and competencies that students acquire through the educational process. By understanding how technology can influence learning outcomes, researchers can identify effective strategies that lead to improved academic achievements

Hi all,

I want to conduct a correlation analysis, to check whether changes in learning outcomes correlate with the number of lessons students attend. Learner outcomes are measured at baseline and endline, and the measurement is ordinal. To be specific, students get assessed and assigned to one of 5 learning categories (for example for literacy, this would be Beginner, Letter, Word, Sentence, or Paragraph). The number of lessons students attended is measured quantitatively.

Since we are interested in the changes in learning outcomes, I was initially planning to calculate a difference score between endline and baseline, and correlate that with the number of lessons attended. However, having discovered that learner outcomes are measured ordinally, this does not make any sense. What would be the best way to compute a correlation between changes in learner outcomes (between baseline and endline) and the number of lessons students attend?

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Best,

Sharon
