OBJECTIVE We report three experiments investigating the ability of undergraduate college students to comprehend 2 x 2 "interaction" graphs from two-way factorial research designs. BACKGROUND Factorial research designs are an invaluable research tool widely used in all branches of the natural and social sciences, and the teaching of such designs lies at the core of many college curricula. Such...

Student protest is often an engine of social change for sexual minorities and other oppressed groups. Through an analysis of college students in the Add Health survey (n=2, 534), we found that sexual minorities attend more political marches than heterosexuals. To understand why this sexuality difference occurs, we performed a logistic regression analysis to decipher the importance of four expla...

Study on future is involving a time-span to observe future alternatives as well as to identify the greatest events that are mostly like to occur in future while to assist the policy-makers and curriculum-designers to make decision. Longstreet and Shane (1993) however, emphasized that future planning does not mean to change what currently we already possessed instead of focusing on future-probab...

This paper presents the first step of an attempt in designing intuitive and interesting materials for a theory course. The materials developed cover the AL5 Basic Computability unit of the ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula 2001, and can be used in a stand-alone theory course. This paper describes a “programming approach” to basic computability. Topics include a proof of the Halting Problem and the u...

BACKGROUND Curriculum development in the health sciences usually entails a lengthy, in-depth review of most or all aspects of the curriculum. The review usually leads to the generation of a detailed report that is submitted to the Dean or executive committee of the faculty. Much has been written about the process of curriculum development but very little has been written about the important pro...
