Twenty studies, meeting study criteria, were coded for 39 variables in six categories. Studies were assigned to one of two groups based on the statistical evidence that was reported. Group I reported p-values only and Group II reported F, t, or chi square values. Significance of Group I studies is shown through a summary chi square and p value. A summary weighted unbiased effect size was determined for Group II studies. With only 0.07% of studies meeting search criteria, it was determined that there is a limited amount

In countries where an epidemic-level disease spread has not been recently seen, it may be difficult to imagine how they affect theeducation system. The CDC provides some guidance on the difference in the terminology of diseaselevels, but these definitions lack specificity. An epidemic is a sudden increase in cases, and an outbreakindicates a spike in cases in a limited geographic area. In contrast, a pandemic indicates an epidemicspread over several countries or even continents (CDC 2012). With previous epidemics and pandemics inthe

However, there is limitedempirical evidence on the effectiveness of reflective practice in Data Structures courses, in whichcomputing students are honing problem-solving skills. To fill this gap, we evaluate theeffectiveness of assigning guided reflection prompts with programming assignments in anundergraduate Data Structures course in encouraging students to articulate their problem-solvingstrategies. 219 students completed two programming assignments and were asked to respond toreflection prompts after each.

in Dynamics1Abstract In an effort to produce more, better graduates faster than in previous years, theUniversity of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) integrated multi-intelligence principles into asophomore-level dynamics class. The principal hypothesis is that students who arepresented with authentic real world problems will be better equipped to solve traditionaltextbook problems. The belief is that confronting real problems enhances learningthrough the establishment of a context making the information relevant and meaningful.In this environment, students are more apt to learn and retain the information through theenhancement of student interest. A secondary hypothesis is that real problems will stimulate student creativity and,therefore
