How refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning service technicians learn from troubleshooting

Creator:: Green, Denis F. H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (RHVAC) service technicians (techs) learned from troubleshooting. This understanding resulted in instructional and curricular strategies designed to help community colleges prepare vocational students to learn more effectively from informal workplace learning. RHVAC techs were studied...

Analysis of teachers understanding of spreadsheet dependability : teacher interviews

Creator:: Niess, M. and Sadri, Pejmon
Abstract:: "Each year, the grant support varying numbers of teachers to investigate spreadsheets with the intent of integrating teaching mathematics/science with spreadsheets. These teachers were taught to focus on teaching about key concepts of spreadsheet design while they also taught with the spreadsheets as tools for learning mathematics/science. As part of...

Students' transfer of learning of eigenvalues and eigenvectors : Implementation of actor-oriented transfer framework

Creator:: Karakok, Gulden
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate third year college students' transfer of learning of the concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors from the winter term physics courses to the interviews in which they participated before, during, and after these courses. Transfer of learning of each student was explored by...

Collegiate student's epistemologies and conceptual understanding of the role of models in precalculus mathematics : a focus on the exponential and logarithmic functions

Creator:: Melendy, Robert F.
Abstract:: Collegiate student's conceptual distinctions of what define a mathematical and a physical model seems to be affected by the epistemological beliefs they hold about this knowledge. These beliefs seem to influence student's thinking and reasoning as they embark on problem solving activities in collegiate mathematics. Student's epistemological beliefs of mathematical...

Developing a plan for the national coordination of geospatial technology education : a community college perspective

Creator:: Sullivan, Deidre E.
Abstract:: Geospatial technology is a rapidly growing and changing field. The term geospatial technology (GST) refers to geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS), all emerging technologies that assist the user in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data. The speed at which new fields...

Model of student understanding of probability in modern physics

Creator:: Wattanakasiwich, Pornrat
Abstract:: This study aimed to investigate students' models of probability in a modern physics context. The study was divided into three phases. The first phase explored student pre-knowledge about probability before modem physics instruction. The second phase investigated student understanding of concepts related to probability such as wave-particle behavior, the uncertainty...

Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

Creator:: Price, Matthew F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...
