Role of theory in management research -- Dr Yasser BhattiYasser Bhatti
The document discusses the role of theory in management research. It begins by defining key concepts like theory, methodology, and method. It then discusses how theories can help make sense of the world, understand causation, predict outcomes, and guide research. Theories are developed and tested through empirical research, with adjustments made based on findings. Good theories are parsimonious, broad, accurate, and falsifiable. The document emphasizes that theories are approximations rather than proven truths.
This document summarizes a research article that investigated how computational thinking can be characterized in mathematics education. It conducted a literature review and a Delphi study with experts. The literature review identified characteristics of computational thinking explored in mathematics education research, including problem solving, cognitive processes, and mathematical modeling. The Delphi study corroborated these findings and highlighted three key aspects of computational thinking to address in mathematics education: problem solving, cognitive processes like abstraction, and the process of transposition between real-world and mathematical contexts. The study aims to provide insight into how computational thinking can be incorporated into mathematics education.

- Defending science against misinformation is scientists' top priority for online engagement goals. Prioritizing strategic goals depends on attitudes, norms, and efficacy related to those goals.
Spice up your lecture with Inquiry-based LearningICPSR
This presentation is a part of ICPSR's monthly Webinar series. It describes inquiry-based learning and how using data in the college classroom can help foster deeper learning. TeachingWithData.org, a repository of social science materials, was introduced.
The document discusses the need to develop curricula for teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) to educational leaders and teachers. It notes that while the current English educational system encourages the use of research and evidence, not enough attention has been paid to developing EBP curricula. Drawing from evidence-based approaches in other fields like medicine and management could help establish curricula to better develop EBP in education. However, EBP remains a misunderstood concept, hindering the development of such curricula.
Using intelligent tutoring systems, virtual laboratories, simulations, and frequent opportunities for assessment and feedback, The Open Learning Initiative (OLI) builds open learning environments that support continuous improvement in teaching and learning.
One of the most powerful features of web-based learning environments is that we can embed assessment into, virtually all, instructional activities. As students interact with OLI environments, we collect real-time data of student work. We use this data to create four positive feedback loops:
• feedback to students
• feedback to instructors
• feedback to course designers
• feedback to learning science researchers
In this JumpStart Session, we demonstrate how OLI uses the web to deliver online instruction that instantiates course designs based on research and how the learning environments, in turn, support ongoing research. We will discuss the Community College Open Learning Initiative (CC-OLI) and how faculty and colleges across the country can participate in CC-OLI and the connection between CC-OLI and Washington State’s Open Course Library project.

Geoff Walton conducted research to examine how psychological states associated with information behavior help explain learning during an information literacy intervention. Students who received online social network learning demonstrated a greater ability to evaluate information compared to other groups. Walton's research suggests that information literacy models are too rigid and do not account for cognitive, affective, and social aspects of becoming information literate. He proposes a new three-sphere model of information literacy and a five-level tool for assessing information discernment.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Our Approach
Problem No sufficient data to construct a standard measure of
work-family balance (no time use variables measuring
”family time”, no variables measuring work-family
interaction)
Solution We model causal relationship between problems in
family sphere and work sphere, time devoted to work
and working from home with use of ICTs
