A quasi-experimental design was adopted to investigate the effect of integrating technology into mathematics teaching on students’ number sense and their learning attitudes. Two sixth-grade classes were selected from an elementary school in Taiwan for participation in this study. The control group with 32 students followed their usual mathematics instruction on number sense without using techno...

TIPSTER is an ARPA sponsored program that seeks to develop methods and tools that support analysts in their efforts to filter, process, and analyze ever increasing quantities of text-based information. To this end, government sponsors, contractors, and developers are working to design an architecture specification that makes it possible for natural language processing techniques and tools, from...

With the literature calling for comparisons among technology-enhanced or active-learning pedagogies, a blended versus flipped instructional comparison was made for numerical methods coursework using three engineering schools with diverse student demographics. This study contributes to needed comparisons of enhanced instructional approaches in STEM and presents a rigorous and adaptable methodolo...
