STEM and NAPE in the Park City Schools
This document summarizes efforts to strengthen STEM and career technical education programs in Park City schools. Key gaps identified include a lack of focused STEM pathways and underrepresentation of females and minorities. Data shows low female participation in many STEM and CTE courses. Strategies developed include creating new STEM pathways, holding a career fair, and introducing more STEM courses at elementary and middle schools to encourage interest in these subjects from all students. Progress will be measured by increased enrollment, awareness, and achievement in STEM-related programs and courses.

• Making a difference in widening participation - the responsibilities of researchers and practitioners
Student-centered learning analytics development in higher education: initial ...
EdMedia 2019 presentation. This brief paper describes a student-centered approach to the research and development of pedagogical learning analytics solutions. The context of the study is a national Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture funded learning analytics project, in which eleven Finnish HEIs partner in developing a roadmap for the scalable use of learning analytics in universities of applied sciences. The paper outlines the arguments for student-centered development of learning analytics in order to better cater for students’ needs. The project adopted a co-creation methodology combining focus group interviews and rapid prototyping, to perform the needs analysis together with the students. This paper describes the application of this methodology, presents initial observations from the study, and outlines the next steps of the research project.
Most study engg due to parental push
- Around 65% of engineering students enroll due to parental pressure rather than genuine interest in the field, and many have low scores in physics and math.
- A study across 100 colleges found these students lacked interest in engineering and had no career goals. They experienced high peer pressure from the start.
- The study also found institutions feel pressured by parents to focus on placements over academics, and students' learning has weakened due to increased digital media use. Their ability to grasp concepts and take notes in class has declined.
Employer Priorities for Most Important College Learning Outcomes
Employers were surveyed about important college learning outcomes. The top three outcomes identified were: oral communication (85% said very important), problem solving in diverse settings (96% agreed is important regardless of field), and knowledge and understanding of democratic institutions and values (87% agreed is important regardless of field). Teamwork skills, written communication, and critical thinking were also identified as very important outcomes.

Creativity in stem programs shapes students’ attitudesAustralian Centre for Student Equity and Success
This document summarizes the key findings of a research project that examined students' attitudes towards STEM subjects and how those attitudes change over time. The project administered attitude surveys to over 1500 students across years 6 to 12 at a large metropolitan school. It found that students' attitudes towards different STEM subjects, as well as factors like enjoyment and self-efficacy, varied significantly based on age and subject. It recommends that outreach programs to promote STEM should be targeted based on these attitude differences and focus on creativity to positively impact enjoyment, relevance and self-efficacy.Maria Raciti: Evaluating Indigenous outreach programs in five steps

Inside the 'Black Box' of the Block Model
This document summarizes research into the Block Model used for first-year STEM subjects at Victoria University (VU). Through quantitative analysis and interviews, the research sought to understand how the Block Model improved outcomes for STEM students, especially those from equity groups. The Block Model involved teaching subjects intensively over four-week blocks rather than traditional semesters. The research found the Block Model improved engagement and outcomes through: 1) Increased time-on-task and purposeful learning in focused blocks, 2) Stronger student and staff relationships through shared block-based learning, and 3) Use of data to continuously improve learning based on student needs.
Curriculum analytics: student pressure
A presentation from Connect More by David Perkins and Dr Cameron Gray from Bangor University.
Insights into activities we undertake as educators and students have the potential to enhance learning and reduce unintentional consequences for all. This project has developed a work pressure metric that can be used by both educator and learner. The focus is on the assessments for a given programme and work pressure that this generates. Additionally, included is behavioural characteristics, these have the potential to have significant impact upon the individual student journey.
5TH year progress critique
Encouraging STEM Engagement among young people is important as demand for STEM skills grows. However, schools face shortages of STEM teachers, limiting their ability to provide STEM education. To promote STEM participation, an educational kit is needed for extra-curricular use by youth organizations for 14-19 year olds. Research found current products have problems and many youth do not engage in STEM activities. The proposed kit aims to address these issues.
Augmented Reality in eLearning: The UOC Case Study
This document summarizes a case study conducted at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) exploring faculty opinions on introducing augmented reality (AR) into online education. 15 teachers participated in a mixed-methods study. The results showed that faculty felt AR could feasibly be used in online learning and would positively impact student motivation. They thought geo-based AR was most appropriate for online contexts. Key recommendations were to use geo-based AR to promote discovery learning, games, collaboration and authentic activities, while providing faculty development on integrating AR into online education. Next steps include developing open educational resources on AR for faculty.
STARS Student Equity Network Meeting
The document summarizes discussions from the STARS Conference on June 22, 2021 regarding student equity policy and funding in higher education. It provides an overview of the key policies and funding frameworks that aim to improve access, participation, and outcomes for underrepresented student groups in higher education, including the Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) and the new Indigenous, Regional and Low SES Attainment Fund (IRLSAF). It also discusses some common issues with HEPPP eligibility requirements and funding use. Breakout session topics focused on lifelong learning pathways, approaches to widening participation, and the appropriate use of equity funding.
Measuring innovation in Argentina
This presentation was given by Mercedes Miguel at at the Public Conference “Innovation in education : What has changed in the classroom in the past
decade?”.
Measuring innovation in education and understanding how it works is essential to improve the quality of the education sector. Monitoring systematically how pedagogical practices evolve would considerably increase the international education knowledge base. We need to examine whether, and how, practices are changing within classrooms and educational organisations and how students use learning resources. We should know much more about how teachers change their professional development practices, how schools change their ways to relate to parents, and, more generally, to what extent change and innovation are linked to better educational outcomes. This would help policy makers to better target interventions and resources, and get quick feedback on whether reforms do change educational practices as expected. This would enable us to better understand the role of innovation in education.
Curriculum alignment and progression between early childhood education and ca...
Curriculum plays an important role in ensuring continuity and progression from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to primary education. The alignment of curricula and standards across these settings shapes children’s early experiences with education systems, with implications for children’s relationships and engagement in both ECEC and primary school, as well as longer-term learning and well-being outcomes. Governments can achieve curricular continuity in various ways, ranging from high-level alignment of goals across multiple curriculum documents to full integration of the curriculum into a single document that covers both ECEC and primary school. The broader contexts of education systems, such as organisation and governance, the training of staff and teachers who work in these settings, matter for curricular continuity – and an integrated curriculum alone does not guarantee a continuous experience for children.

NCSEHE panel discussion: Tips for outreach staff on how to evaluate outreach programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studentsPoster Presentation
This document summarizes an action research study that examined the impact of a cross-curricular, project-based learning environment called Academy 21 on developing 21st century skills in middle school students. Data was collected from an experimental group of 28 students participating in Academy 21 and a control group of 22 students in a traditional classroom setting. Results provided compelling evidence that Academy 21 improved students' mastery of 21st century skills like collaboration, communication, and self-directed learning compared to the control group. The study recommends expanding Academy 21 to provide an alternative learning approach for more students.

The document discusses reviewing progress in a science teaching course, including recapping the topics covered last term and plans for the current term. It provides information on national and international data on science education trends from reports like PISA and TIMSS. Implications for teachers are discussed, such as being aware of common student misconceptions and trends in achievement for their own class and school.
Presentación Justine Hustings (Brown University)
This document summarizes research on school choice policies in the US and their impact on educational outcomes. It finds that:
1) Giving parents more information about school quality erases differences in choices and achievement gaps between high- and low-income families.
2) However, proximity remains important, especially for elementary students, posing challenges for urban districts with concentrated poverty.
3) Research shows charter schools can significantly improve test scores and longer-term outcomes for disadvantaged urban students, pointing to their potential as a scalable solution.
Holy Smoke Or Holy Grail 03
This document discusses research on the impact of technology on student achievement. It summarizes several studies that found statistically significant improvements in test scores for students using technology. Specifically, one study found increases of 5-42% in math scores, while another review of meta-analyses found that properly implemented technology had a significant positive effect on achievement. However, the document also notes that effective integration of technology according to seven principles is needed to achieve true benefits and prepare students for a globalized world.
NB Provincial Assessment Program
This document provides an overview of New Brunswick's Provincial Assessment Program. It discusses moving from collecting data to using information. Key points include:
- The program uses balanced assessment including formative, benchmark, and large-scale assessments.
- Provincial assessments are administered at grades 4, 6, and 10 in reading, math, and science literacy and report results at the school, district, and provincial levels.
- Assessment results are reported using performance levels to provide information on student achievement.
- The program aims to contextualize large-scale results and align assessments with other frameworks like PCAP and PISA.
Scaling up learning analytics
Talk by Rebeca Ferguson (Open University, UK, and LACE project).
The promise of learning analytics is that they will enable us to understand and optimize learning and the environments in which it takes place. The intention is to develop models, algorithms, and processes that can be widely used. In order to do this, we need to move from small-scale research within our disciplines towards large-scale implementation across our institutions. This is a tough challenge, because educational institutions are stable systems, resistant to change. To avoid failure and maximize success, implementation of learning analytics at scale requires careful consideration of the entire ‘TEL technology complex’. This complex includes the different groups of people involved, the educational beliefs and practices of those groups, the technologies they use, and the specific environments within which they operate. Providing reliable and trustworthy analytics is just one part of implementing analytics at scale. It is also important to develop a clear strategic vision, assess institutional culture critically, identify potential barriers to adoption, develop approaches that can overcome these, and put in place appropriate forms of support, training, and community building. In her keynote, Rebecca introduced tools, resources, organisations and case studies that can be used to support the deployment of learning analytics at scale
Jekaterina Rogaten
This document discusses a study that used multilevel modeling to analyze academic performance and learning gains. It defines learning gains as growth in knowledge, skills, and abilities over time that are linked to course learning outcomes. The study classified learning gains into an ABC model of affective, behavioral, and cognitive domains. It analyzed 51 studies on learning gains and found the majority examined cognitive gains. The study developed a three-level growth curve model to analyze learning gains data from different faculties. It found variation in students' initial achievements and subsequent learning gains across faculties.
Study on social and emotional skills (OECD)
The OECD is conducting a study on social and emotional skills to: 1) expand the focus of policy agendas to include students' social and emotional development, 2) provide information on skill levels across diverse settings to promote improvements, and 3) identify factors influencing skill development. The study will assess students' social and emotional skills and collect background data from students, parents, teachers and principals across multiple cities and countries. It employs a mixed methods approach combining student self-reports, observer reports, behavioral indicators and administrative data to obtain valid, reliable and comparable measures of skills.

Preparing teacher to use technology
The document discusses the importance of training teachers to use technology effectively in the classroom. While access to computers and the internet in schools is widespread, surveys find that only one-third of teachers feel prepared to use technology in their instruction. The document emphasizes that technology will have little impact on learning unless teachers receive adequate training. It states that teachers prefer to learn about technology through independent learning, professional development activities, and collaborating with colleagues rather than formal institutions. Administrators and support systems play a key role in helping teachers successfully adopt and implement classroom technology.
Y4 it 2016- Hermoso
This document discusses women and diversity in technology. It notes that women make up a small percentage of computer science and engineering fields, ranging from 18% to 1 in 16, and are less likely to be hired or paid equally. It advocates for more inclusion and representation of women and underrepresented groups in technology jobs and leadership. The speaker encourages youth, especially girls, to pursue their technology passions and not let challenges stop them from entering the field.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

- 12. Research Methodology ● ● ● Combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Qualitative: FGDs around attitudinal, societal and infrastructural issues. Quantitative: Questionnaire incorporating the responses obtained from the FGDs and a separate questionnaire by Google.
- 13. Dominant responses Individual- Both girls and boys find Science and Maths very difficult to understand. Family- Girls do all the household work as opposed to boys who do no housework, Parents have a larger say in their career choices. Infrastructural – No functional labs/computer classes in schools, tuitions unaffordable by most and seen essential to do well in STEM
- 14. Follow-up Programs ● Winter Camp at FAT's Tech Centre - Done with our tech centre girls ● Workshops in Schools - Done with girl students from class 6 to 10 - Events included practice based workshops on Science and th th Technology - Session with eminent speakers from STEM subjects and fields, interesting digital content and Quiz sessions.
- 15. Challenges encountered during the program Obtaining permission from government school to collect data and conduct workshops ● ● Insufficient Funds
