  • Life stories of high-risk white females teens : qualitative restrospective interviews with adolescents ten years after participation in a dropout and pregnancy prevention program

    Creator:
    Shaub, Tamara Lee
    Abstract:
    High rates and high costs of adolescent pregnancy and school dropout have resulted in the development of many prevention programs; however, little is known about the long-range effectiveness of efforts. Empirical research is needed to document behavioral outcomes over extended periods of time. I interviewed eight young white women who...

  • Complex patterns in gender HCI : a data mining study of factors leading to end-user debugging success for females and males

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    Most of the work so far in the subfield of Gender HCI has followed a theory-driven approach. Established theories, however, do not take into account specific issues that arise in end-user debugging. We suspected that there may be important information that we were overlooking. We therefore employed a methodology change:...

  • Getting to local information : the role of different costs

    Creator:
    Rajaram, Vidya
    Abstract:
    Finding information can cost a significant amount of time, even when the information is already stored on the user’s local computer system. There is significant research aimed at reducing these time costs, but little research into exactly what these costs are or how they impact people’s use of tools and...

  • Supporting end-user debugging

    Creator:
    Kissinger, Cory
    Abstract:
    Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers’ debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...

  • The development of pre-service teachers' Technology Specific Pedagogy

    Creator:
    Harrington, Rachel A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to document the development of pre-service teachers' Technology Specific Pedagogy as they learned to teach mathematics with technology during their initial licensure program. The study investigated the pre-service teachers' learning using both a social and a psychological perspective of teacher learning. Two research questions...

  • Garbage in, garbage out? An empirical look at oracle mistakes by end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Phalgune, Amit
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers, because they are human, make mistakes. However, past research has not considered how visual end-user debugging devices could be designed to ameliorate the effects of mistakes. This paper empirically examines oracle mistakes mistakes users make about which values are right and which are wrong to reveal differences in...

  • End user software engineering features for both genders

    Creator:
    Sorte, Shraddha
    Abstract:
    Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end users’ productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable...

  • Explaining debugging strategies to end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja
    Abstract:
    There has been little research into how end-user programming environments can provide explanations that could fill a critical information gap for end-user debuggers – help with debugging strategy. To address this need, we designed and prototyped a video-based approach for explaining debugging strategy, and accompanied it with a text-only approach....

  • Secondary mathematics preservice teachers' development of technology pedagogical content knowledge in subject-specific, technology-integrated teacher preparation program

    Creator:
    Suharwoto, Gogot
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to describe the development of mathematics preservice teachers’ technology pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) in a subject specific, technology integrated teacher preparation program. The study also investigated the roles of several influential components of the program and the technology thread throughout the program in supporting...

  • Mathematical problem solving processes of Thai gifted students

    Creator:
    Pativisan, Supattra
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine the problem solving processes of Thai gifted students when they solved non-routine mathematical problems. The research questions guiding the study were: (1) What is the nature of the problem solving processes that Thai gifted students use as they engage in solving non-routine...
