The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

48.2K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Impact of Groups on Groups

249
Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

213
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Impact

499
Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features

1.8K
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung conditions that progressively worsen over time, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This cluster of diseases collectively leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in lung function over time.
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...

Impact of Groups on Individuals01:28

Impact of Groups on Individuals

352
Groups play a fundamental role in shaping individual behavior, as they establish norms that guide interactions and decision-making. Social psychology examines how individuals conform to group expectations, often adjusting their attitudes and actions to align with group norms. These norms can be formal, such as workplace policies, or informal, such as unspoken social expectations within a fraternity.Conformity and Social InfluenceConformity arises when individuals modify their behaviors or...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Measurement
  • Psychometrics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) posits that task features influence item psychometric properties.
  • Task features serve multiple roles in assessment, including defining evidence focus and item characteristics.
  • Applying ECD to simulations and games presents unique challenges due to integrated game logic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of ECD principles to manipulate psychometric properties in assessments.
  • To compare how ECD task roles function in conventional tests versus game-embedded assessments.
  • To analyze the utility of ECD for embedded assessments in simulations and games.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of a conventional mathematics word problem test and a physics/creativity/conscientiousness assessment in 'Newton's Playground'.
  • Examination of how task-feature variables function in both assessment contexts.
  • Evaluation of ECD's role in manipulating evidence provided by assessments.

Main Results:

  • Task features in ECD can be strategically manipulated to adjust psychometric properties of assessment items.
  • ECD principles are adaptable to complex tasks within simulations and games, despite design challenges.
  • The study illustrates how task roles function differently in conventional and game-based assessments.

Conclusions:

  • ECD provides a framework for understanding and manipulating assessment properties in diverse formats.
  • Task features are crucial for tailoring evidence collection in both traditional and innovative assessment environments.
  • The ECD approach offers valuable guidance for designing and analyzing embedded assessments in interactive systems.
