Price agrees, favoring a learning-to-learn educational model. “We’re not just teaching math and statistics and operations research and information systems,” he says. “What we’re doing is helping our student
My older sibling seems to believe that people have a certain amount of ability in math, and they really can’t do much to change it. My older sibling seems to believe that one’s ability in math is something about the person that can't be changed very much. To be honest, my older ...

Most importantly, the research question determines the realm of constructs to be considered or the type of interventions whose effects shall be analyzed. When defining the ...
Why reprex? Getting unstuck is hard. Your first step here is usually to create a reprex, or reproducible example. The goal of a reprex is to package your code, and information about your problem so that others can run it…
A potential limitation of our analysis is that we do not observe the sector in which immigrants are employed. To address this concern at least partly, we use French data at the district sector level, where the sector of employment of immigrants is observed, and find qualitatively similar ...

Our mode choice model is based on discrete choice theory. Accordingly, we need to generate choice sets that describe individual choices among the five alternatives (car, conventional bicycle, e-bike, BTM, walking). To do this, we create a binary variablechoice, which takes on the value 1 fo...
I am arguing here that “Sense of Belonging in CS” should not be in that set. The role of computing education in K-12 should be to introduce students to computing for whatever they are going to do in life. As I’ve been pointing out in the last few blog posts, the uses of progra...
In some cases, in La Guajira and Sucre, farmers grabbed the calculator to do some math on how much they might reduce water application to the crops to adapt to declinations. However, water table declination does not necessarily activate mental adaptation. Despite water table declination, farmers...
