  • Exploring Differences Among Student Populations During Climate Graph Reading Tasks: an Eye Tracking Study Rachel M
    Journal of Astronomy & Earth Sciences Education – December 2018 Volume 5, Number 2 Exploring Differences Among Student Populations During Climate Graph Reading Tasks: An Eye Tracking Study Rachel M. Atkins, North Carolina State University, USA Karen S. McNeal, Auburn University, USA ABSTRACT Communicating climate information is challenging due to the interdisciplinary nature of the topic along with compounding cognitive and affective learning challenges. Graphs are a common representation used by scientists to communicate evidence of climate change. However, it is important to identify how and why individuals on the continuum of expertise navigate graphical data differently as this has implications for effective communication of this information. We collected and analyzed eye-tracking metrics of geoscience graduate students and novice undergraduate students while viewing graphs displaying climate information. Our findings indicate that during fact- extraction tasks, novice undergraduates focus proportionally more attention on the question, title and axes graph elements, whereas geoscience graduate students spend proportionally more time viewing and interpreting data. This same finding was enhanced during extrapolation tasks. Undergraduate novices were also more likely to describe general trends, while graduate students identified more specific patterns. Undergraduates who performed high on the pre-test measuring graphing skill, viewed graphs more similar to graduate students than their peers who performed lower on the pre-test. Keywords: Geoscience Education Research; Geocognition; Eye-Tracking; Graph Reading he average temperature of our planet has increased 1.5 degrees F over the past 100 years and is projected to increase another 0.5 to 8.6 degrees F over the next century (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2014).

  • Vlat: Development of a Visualization Literacy Assessment Test 553
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VISUALIZATION AND COMPUTER GRAPHICS VOL. 23, NO. 1, JANUARY 2017 551 VLAT : Development of a Visualization Literacy Assessment Test Sukwon Lee, Sung-Hee Kim, and Bum Chul Kwon, Member, IEEE Abstract— The Information Visualization community has begun to pay attention to visualization literacy; however, researchers still lack instruments for measuring the visualization literacy of users. In order to address this gap, we systematically developed a visual- ization literacy assessment test (VLAT), especially for non-expert users in data visualization, by following the established procedure of test development in Psychological and Educational Measurement: (1) Test Blueprint Construction, (2) Test Item Generation, (3) Content Validity Evaluation, (4) Test Tryout and Item Analysis, (5) Test Item Selection, and (6) Reliability Evaluation. The VLAT con- sists of 12 data visualizations and 53 multiple-choice test items that cover eight data visualization tasks. The test items in the VLAT were evaluated with respect to their essentialness by five domain experts in Information Visualization and Visual Analytics (average content validity ratio = 0.66). The VLAT was also tried out on a sample of 191 test takers and showed high reliability (reliability coeffi- cient omega = 0.76). In addition, we demonstrated the relationship between users’ visualization literacy and aptitude for learning an unfamiliar visualization and showed that they had a fairly high positive relationship (correlation coefficient = 0.64). Finally, we discuss evidence for the validity of the VLAT and potential research areas that are related to the instrument. Index Terms—Visualization Literacy; Assessment Test; Instrument; Measurement; Aptitude; Education 1INTRODUCTION Data visualizations have become more popular and important as the dressing this gap is important because measurement results from the amount of available data increases, called data democratization.

  • What Do Teachers Know and Want to Know About Special Education?
    What Do Teachers Know and Want to Know About Special Education? First presenter: Angelique Aitken, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ([email protected]) Poster Abstract: Purpose The Council for Exceptional Children Professional Standards require that special education teachers have an understanding of the relevant special education laws and policies, which influence educating their students (CEC, 2015). Not only does a special educator provide academic, behavioral, and social skills instruction in accordance with their students' legally enforceable individualized education program (IEP) but federal and state laws (e.g., IDEA; 20 U.S.C. §§1400) have created compliance mechanisms that have intertwined legal topics with educating students. Furthermore, both parents and school administrators have reported that teachers are parents' primary source of special education information (Authors, under review and in preparation). Thus, it is important to understand teachers' knowledge of special education topics and processes. Method A convenience sample of 142 special education teachers across 16 states completed The Teacher Knowledge and Resources in Special Education (TKRSE) web-based survey. The TKRSE is comprised of 52 items across five domains and seven demographic items. The Accessibility of Resources domain had two items (e.g., Overall, how available are special education resources) rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Seventeen items (e.g., currently, how confident that you understand manifestation determination) were included in the Confidence in Special Education Topics domain and were each rated on a 4- point Likert-type scale. In the Areas of Desired Additional Knowledge domain, teachers were asked to identify the top topics that teachers would like to learn more about (e.g., Please identify the top three [special education law] topics you would like to learn more about).

  • Assisting Teachers and Families in Decision-Making Regarding Questionable and Pseudoscientific Interventions
    InSpEd Insights || Assisting Teachers and Families in Decision-Making Regarding Questionable and PseudoScientific Interventions Assisting Teachers and Families in Decision-Making Regarding Questionable and Pseudoscientific Interventions With the advent of the internet, an increasing number of questionable and pseudoscientific interventions are available to teachers and families. While some of these interventions are little more than moneymaking scams, the majority appear to be offered by sincere but misguided proponents. So, what sources of information should teachers and families rely upon and what red flags might signal that additional caution is needed in evaluating claims? Expert advice Where should teachers and families look for information about interventions or programs they are considering? An obvious starting point is to look for an “expert”, typically someone with a doctorate relevant to the area. For example, if you are seeking veterinary advice, you might approach a close relative of mine, Dashiel Carter. Dashiel has a Doctor of Science from the prestigious Thunderwood College in California, USA. A copy of his testamur is presented in evidence in Figure 1. Figure 1 Testamur The title of Dashiel’s thesis was “A qualitative analysis of pareidolia in veterinary homeopathic treatment of travel sickness in Canis Lupus Familiaris: You can lead a dog to water but does it have magical healing properties?” There is just one small problem, which should become obvious from the photograph of Dashiel in Figure 2 . Yes, Dashiel is a 12-year-old

  • IASLT Position Statement on the Rapid Prompting Method
    IASLT Position Statement on the Rapid Prompting Method. May 2017 IRISH ASSOCIATION OF SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPISTS May 2017 Statement The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists (IASLT) is the recognised professional body for speech and language therapists (SLTs) in Ireland. One of the key functions of the IASLT is to represent the views of its members to inform public policy in relation to the provision of speech and language therapy services for the best interests of service users. Since the broadcast of the RTE documentary ‘Autism and Me’ on March 13th 2017 there has been much discussion about the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) which was used to facilitate communication for one teenage boy featured on the programme. IASLT wish to put on record our position in relation to this method - primarily our concern that there is no evidence to support its use. Over the years, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has been the target for many anecdotal commercial ‘cures’ and interventions. These continue to be readily available despite having no scientific or empirical evidence in efficacy. Assessment and treatment protocols for communication disorders should be based in the most part on empirical evidence from well-constructed and independent research. RPM has yet to produce any of this to support its claims. IASLT’s concern is that as a method it is closely related to the technique known as: "Facilitated Communication" (FC) which has been proven to be ineffective and not evidence based. Peer reviewed publications about FC report that the children’s outputs were results of the facilitators’ movements and opinions – not those of the children’s themselves.

Saving Literacy introduces the Scribbling/Drawing/ Writing program for children 10 months to 6 years, including developmental SAVING LITERACY benchmarks, lesson plans, evaluation tools, and research questions designed for professional caregivers: preschool and daycare providers, elementary school teachers, child psychologists, art teachers and art therapists, speech How Marks Change pathologists and researchers in child development and education. The goals of the program are sustained attention, emotional control and connection, expanded speech and literacy. Autism and the effects of technology are Minds discussed. Dr. Sheridan has published a companion book for parents, HandMade Marks. Attention “What we most need now… is a fresh perspective on the masses of data that neurobiologists have gathered, and on the puzzles those data pose… How do brains make sense of the world (?)… (A) new general theory… requires new assumptions and new definitions. I believe that the idea of meaning, a critical concept that defines the relations of each brain to the world, is central to current debates in philosophy and cognitive science, and will Connection become so in neurobiology… Doodling can and should accompany if not even precede speaking. Language derives from the dynamics and structure of intentional behavior... and the face and hand areas of the cortex lie side by side, undergoing the same patterns of neural development. They are inextricably linked, as we know from the necessity of Literacy moving our hands and fingers as we speak to communicate meaning most effectively.” Correspondence between Dr.
