Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Variability: Analysis01:11

Variability: Analysis

132
Measures of variability are statistical metrics that reveal the dispersion pattern within a dataset. They are pivotal in biostatistics, providing insights into the heterogeneity within health and biological data. Variability signifies the degree to which data points diverge from one another, helping researchers understand the potential range of values and associated uncertainty within the data.
The range is a simple measure of variability, indicating the difference between the highest and...

Method of Sections: Problem Solving II01:30

Method of Sections: Problem Solving II

953
Consider an arbitrary truss structure composed of diagonal, vertical, and horizontal members fixed to the wall. To calculate the force acting on members CB, GB, and GH, method of sections can be used. The loads and lengths of the horizontal and vertical members are known parameters, as shown in the figure.

Principal Stresses: Problem Solving01:15

Principal Stresses: Problem Solving

168
When analyzing two planes intersecting at right angles under the influence of shearing, tensile, and compressive stresses, it is essential to identify principal planes, maximum shearing stress, and principal stresses. To find the principal planes, apply a formula that equates them to twice the shearing stress divided by the difference between tensile and compressive stresses.

Stem Cell Culture01:17

Stem Cell Culture

5.1K
Stem cell research aims to find ways to use stem cells to regenerate and repair cellular damage. Over time, most adult cells undergo the wear and tear of aging and lose their ability to divide and repair themselves. Stem cells do not display a particular morphology or function. Adult stem cells, which exist as a small subset of cells in most tissues, keep dividing and can differentiate into a number of specialized cells generally formed by that tissue. These cells enable the body to renew and...

Comparing Experimental Results: Student's t-Test

1.5K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...

  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Office hours are a ubiquitous support mechanism in STEM courses.
  • Limited research exists on instructor approaches to office hours and influencing factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate STEM instructors' experiences with office hours.
  • To understand how these experiences shape their approaches to promoting and managing office hours.

Main Methods:

  • Phenomenographic study design.
  • Analysis of instructor experiences regarding office hour promotion, modality, and facilitation.
  • Categorization of approaches as student-centric or instructor-centric.

Main Results:

  • Identified variations in office hour promotion, modality (time/location), and learning facilitation.
  • Observed a spectrum of approaches from student-centric to instructor-centric.
  • Highlighted challenges such as lack of formal training and peer discussion opportunities.

Conclusions:
