Mainly between 1941 and 1955, Brunswik developed the basic outline for a completely new design on how to conduct experiments, which he called Representative Design (Brunswik, 1943, 1949, 1952, 1955, 1956a, 1956b; 1966). He used this new approach in experiments in the psychology of perception, mainly in experiments regarding object constancy. Representative Design is the generic term for methodo...

The Game-Design and Learning (GDL) initiative engages middle school students in the process of gamedesign in a variety of in-school, after-school, and summer camp settings. The goal of the GDL initiative is to leverage students’ interests in games and design to foster their problem-solving and critical reasoning skills. The present study examines the effectiveness of an after-school version of ...

Research has established that individual student interest has a positive effect on learning and academic achievement. However, little is known about the impact of a blended learning approach on individual student interest and whether combinations of online and face-to-face learning activities significantly enhance student interest. This paper assesses the effect of blended learning on perceived...

This provides a comprehensive listing of books, mainly in English, on the topic of experimental design relative to historical development, classification, construction, experimental layout, and statistical analysis. The books can be used as texts in courses and as references for research. It should be noted that most of the material presented in books places the emphasis on statistical analysis...

Advances in information technology and computational power have opened the doors for auctioneers to explore a range of auction formats by considering varying degrees of bid expressivity and different payment rule, e.g., single price vs. discriminatory prices. While it is clear that one can design more complicated auctions, it is still not clear if should do so and which auction parameters have ...
