科学领域:
- 教育政策 教育政策
- 计算机科学教育计算机科学教育
- 教育公平教育公平教育公平
背景情况:
- 高级安置 (AP) 课程每年为超过一百万名美国高中生提供大学水平的课程.
- 从历史上看,黑人,西班牙裔和女性学生在AP计算机科学 (CS) 中代表性不足.
- 该AP CS原则课程于2016-17年推出,旨在扩大参与并增强CS教育的多样性.
研究的目的:
- 评估AP CS原则课程对AP CS参与和学生多样性的影响.
- 分析在新课程引入后,AP考试考试趋势的变化.
- 评估课程对不同学生人口统计数据的AP CS考试总数和参与率的影响.
主要方法:
- 使用公开可用的数据创建了一个小组数据集,用于马萨诸塞州高中2006-07至2020-21年的AP考试和课程提供.
- 综合差异差异方法被用来估计提供AP CS原则课程的因果关系.
- 分析侧重于AP考试数量的变化和课程采用前后参与概率的变化,按学生人口统计学分类.
主要成果:
- 提供AP CS原则导致每所学校平均每年增加16个AP CS考试,超过基线数量的三倍.

Learning Disabilities
73
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Information Processing Approach
20
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Ampere's Law: Problem-Solving
3.5K
Ampere's law states that for any closed looped path, the line integral of the magnetic field along the path equals the vacuum permeability times the current enclosed in the loop. If the fingers of the right hand curl along the direction of the integration path, the current in the direction of the thumb is considered positive. The current opposite to the thumb direction is considered negative.
