Methodology to combine theoretical knowledge with a data-driven probabilistic graphical model
No full textThis study presents an analytic inference methodology using probabilistic modeling that provides faster decision-making and a better understanding of complex relations. Two educational psychology models (i.e., the MUSIC Model of Motivation and the domain identification model) were coupled with a data-driven Probabilistic Graphical Model to provide a top-down and bottom-up combination for reasoning. Using survey data from middle school students, Bayesian Network models captured the probabilistic interactions between students’ perceptions of their science class, their identification with science, and their science career goals. Complex/non-linear relationships among these variables revealed that students’ perceptions of their science class (i.e., eMpowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest, and Caring) were significant predictors of their science-related career goals. These findings provide validity evidence for using the MUSIC and domain identification models and provide educators and school administrators with a web-based simulator to estimate the effect of students’ science class perceptions on their science identification and career goals
Reduction of Survey Sites in Dialectology: A New Methodology Based on Clustering
Get PDFMany language change studies aim for a partial revisitation, i.e., selecting survey sites from previous dialect studies. The central issue of survey site reduction, however, has often been addressed only qualitatively. Cluster analysis offers an innovative means of identifying the most representative survey sites among a set of original survey sites. In this paper, we present a general methodology for finding representative sites for an intended study, potentially applicable to any collection of data about dialects or linguistic variation. We elaborate the quantitative steps of the proposed methodology in the context of the Linguistic Atlas of Japan(LAJ). Next, we demonstrate the full application of the methodology on the Linguistic Atlas of German-speaking Switzerland' (Germ.: Sprachatlas der Deutschen Schweiz - SDS), with the explicit aim of selecting survey sites corresponding to the aims of the current project Swiss German Dialects Across Time and Space (SDATS), which revisits SDS 70 years later. We find that depending on the circumstances and requirements of a study, the proposed methodology, introducing cluster analysis into the survey site reduction process, allows for a greater objectivity in comparison to traditional approaches. We suggest, however, that the suitability of any set of candidate survey sites resulting from the proposed methodology should be rigorously revised by experts due to potential incongruences such as the overlap of objectives and variables across the original and intended studies, and ongoing dialect change

Get PDFGRAFINK - Grafomotorik und Inklusion - Grundlagen und Materialien für das Erstschreiben
No full textDer entwicklungspsychologische Zugang aus dem diagnostischen Instrument GRAFOS (Screeening und Differentialdiagnostik der Grafomotorik) wird konsequent weiterverfolgt. Verschiedene attraktive Unterrichtseinheiten und Übungssequenzen werden in eine altersgerechte und motivierende Geschichte eingebunden, welche die Freude am Handschrifterwerb weckt. Durch das Verwenden verschiedener Lehr- und Lernformen, die der Heterogenität von Regelklassen Rechnung tragen, werden die Lehrpersonen beim Handschriftunterricht unterstützt. Zusätzlich erhalten multiprofessionelle Unterrichtsteams, bestehend aus Lehrpersonen und Psychomotoriktherapeutinnen und -therapeuten, gezielte Hinweise und Materialien für die Gestaltung einer gewinnbringenden inklusiven Zusammenarbeit im Erstschreiben.
Das Konzept GRAFINK kann im Teamteaching oder durch eine Lehrperson alleine eingesetzt werden
