These worked out examples have aninfinite problem generator (using javascript) so that students can try on their own. If thestudents are not able to answer correctly, it will provide an explanation of the problemsolution and give the students another problem to solve.More complex worked examples were animated using software and tablet called“Belshazzar” (Miller, 2003) which enabled the instructor to write out the solutions toproblems while explaining them. Worked examples that utilize aural explanations resultin higher learning outcomes than those that use text (Atkinson, 2002). A screenshot of anexample of

age where largeamounts of data are being collected with a growing need for those that can make “data-drivendecisions” [3]. McKinsey Global Institute, a business and economic research firm, claims thatwith the growth of digital data, the United States is going to need an additional 140,000 to190,000 analysts and more than 1.5 million managers capable of performing data analysis [4].Additional calls have been made for more statisticians in the federal system, working in placessuch as the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the United States Census Bureau [5].These pleas are not new, however; even in the early 1980’s authors were writing about the needto make the field of statistics as a separate discipline [6] and recognizing the growing need

Where complex work areasexisted, standard procedure for cleaning was required so as to ensure consistency. Theprocedures and checklists were reviewed by peers and 6S team members for safety issues.Corrections and changes were made where necessary and appropriate.

As such, Dym (1994) argues thatrepresentation is central to design, and that the “multiplicity or diversity ofrepresentations” enables reasoning and analysis about function, form, and intent16. As anengineer develops, interprets, and interacts with representations, the engineer mayrespond by retracing the problem objectives and constraints, deciding to revise orimprove parts or the whole design

Two raters counted thenumber of concepts and lines, and calculated a density ratio (i.e., number of lines pernode). Raters were blind to the identity of the map author and the time point at which themap was constructed. Inter-rater reliability on these metrics was acceptable (r = .83,range = 0-1).

They saw that a loss in self-confidence from differentialtreatment appears to begin around the seventh grade and continue through high school 1.

detail.Cultural-Historical TheoryMost key ideas within cultural-historical learning theory have been attributed to Lev Vygotsky.His writings are evidence that he was deeply concerned about the relationship between the socialexperiences of children and how they learn 2. Cultural-historical theory is concerned about howone’s individual developmental history interacts with political and social relations. Theseinteractions with social environments influence both how we think as well as the development ofour language. As one develops more complex cognitive structures, one is able to express thoughtsas cognitive wholes. As one moves toward mastery, higher order structures are created andreplace previous structures. These higher order structures allow
