The document discusses a study that examined differences in motivation and computer proficiency between daily computer users. The study hypothesized that extrinsically motivated proficient users would have more difficulty with unfamiliar computer tasks compared to intrinsically motivated users. The study involved administering a motivation inventory to over 130 participants from various countries and ages. Based on inventory scores, 16 participants were observed performing unfamiliar computer tasks. The observations found that extrinsically motivated users stumbled, fell, persisted, quit, and resisted unfamiliar tasks significantly more than intrinsically motivated users. The study provides insights into how motivation styles impact adaptation to unfamiliar technologies.

Nakayama Estimation Of Viewers Response For Contextual Understanding Of Tasks...Kalle
To estimate viewer’s contextual understanding, features of their
eye-movements while viewing question statements in response to definition statements, and features of correct and incorrect responses were extracted and compared. Twelve directional features
of eye-movements across a two-dimensional space were created, and these features were compared between correct and incorrect responses. The procedure of estimating the response was developed with Support Vector Machines, using these features. The estimation performance and accuracy were assessed across combinations of features. The number of definition statements, which needed to be memorized to answer the question statements during the experiment, affected the estimation accuracy. These results provide evidence that features of eye-movements during reading statements
can be used as an index of contextual understanding.
This document outlines a lesson plan on research methods. It discusses the key differences between primary and secondary research approaches and sources. It also distinguishes between quantitative and qualitative research methods. The document provides guidance on evaluating secondary sources and discusses appropriate uses of internet sources for research.

This document discusses secondary and primary data collection methods for research. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each. Secondary data involves using existing published information from other sources, while primary data involves direct collection of new data for the specific research purpose. Common primary methods include surveys, experiments, observations and case studies. The document also lists sources of secondary data for the leisure and travel industry and has groups do tasks to collect secondary data from the internet or library.
Data collection - Statistical data are a numerical statement of aggregates. Data, generally, are obtained through properly organized statistical inquiries conducted by the investigators. Data can either be from primary or secondary sources.
This document discusses primary and secondary data collection techniques. Primary data is originally collected for the specific research purpose, through surveys, interviews, or observations. It is more reliable but costly and time-consuming to collect. Secondary data is previously collected data that is reused for another purpose, sourced from publications, websites, or databases. It is cheaper and faster to obtain but less targeted to the research questions. Both data types have advantages and disadvantages for research.
Data are numerical facts collected systematically for research purposes. Economists study phenomena and draw conclusions from collected data. There are two main sources of information: primary and secondary data. Primary data involves collecting original data directly from sources for a specific research purpose, such as through observation, interviews, questionnaires, or schedules. Secondary data refers to data that was originally collected by someone else for another purpose and has been published, such as government publications, journals, or reports.
This presentation discusses primary and secondary data collection methods. It begins by defining primary data as original data collected specifically for the research purpose, such as through surveys and interviews. Secondary data refers to data previously collected by others, such as published sources. Both data types are useful but have tradeoffs - primary data directly addresses the research question while secondary data is easier to obtain but may not be specific. The presentation provides examples of primary and secondary data collection techniques and their respective advantages and disadvantages.
This document discusses various methods of data collection in research. It describes 7 common methods: questionnaires, checklists, interviews, observation, records, experimental approaches, and survey approaches. For each method, it outlines the key aspects, such as how it is administered or structured, as well as advantages and disadvantages. It also discusses important considerations for developing research instruments and measuring variables in studies. The overall purpose is to provide guidance on selecting appropriate data collection techniques based on the research problem and design.
There are various methods for collecting primary and secondary data. Primary data collection methods include observation, interviews, questionnaires, and schedules. Secondary data refers to previously collected data that is analyzed and available for use in other studies. Factors to consider when selecting a data collection method include the nature, scope, and objective of the research, available funds and time, and required precision.

Step 1 Consider the Purpose for the ResearchYou have been given.docxwhitneyleman54422
Step 1: Consider the Purpose for the Research
You have been given your assignment. It is now time to think about the purpose of your research. You have written papers in your classes and done some research for work projects. This project requires that you review your previous work and construct a basic research plan. At the graduate level, your work will be expected to meet a higher level of cognitive objective, using analysis, synthesis, and supporting conclusions with facts. There are several elements in the project that your department head will want to see to ensure that your work is on the right track. For one, he may want to see your research question to ensure that you are looking for the right information. If you can develop a specific and focused research question, you will have a good start. Next, you will look to see what information is already out there, and if your question has already been answered. Using a scientific approach, you will create a working hypothesis that will present your findings and conclusions. Remember that your ultimate objective is to arrive at a reasonable, well-supported analysis of the impact of the issue on your industry. This can be the first step that leads to practical solutions for your organization’s issues.
Next, you will prepare to do your research.
Step 2: Prepare to Do Research
You already have your assignment and a purpose for your research. In this step you will prepare for the research. For more information, see Why Do We Do Research? on the Conducting Research page, also in Project 2.
Another reason to do research is to answer basic questions. While there are many times that you should research using a traditional library and peer-reviewed journals, there will be many questions that are answerable by targeted internet searches. These are valid skills for you to develop and they will serve you well in your professional life. So, get acquainted with the Google Search tools so that you have them at your fingertips.
To get some background on various Cybersecurity issues, read Critical Challenges in Cybersecurity.
In the next step, you will select an issue.Step 3: Choose an Issue
In the last step, you prepared for your research. Now it is time to focus on an issue. Choose an issue from your research on a trend in your industry that has potential for great impact on the field, and then draft a preliminary question. Next, do some preliminary reading to see if the question has already been answered, or if there is enough information on the topic. Refine your question and submit it to the “so what” test. Will your answer contribute to knowledge about the issue you have selected? Is the question answerable? Remember that in academic work you do not normally write normative or open-ended questions, which start with the words should or would.
In the next step, you will create a hypothesis.
Step 4: Craft a Hypothesis
You have selected an issue to research. Now it is time to craft a working hypothesis as.

Step 1 Consider the Purpose for the ResearchYou have been given.docxwhitneyleman54422
Step 1: Consider the Purpose for the Research
You have been given your assignment. It is now time to think about the purpose of your research. You have written papers in your classes and done some research for work projects. This project requires that you review your previous work and construct a basic research plan. At the graduate level, your work will be expected to meet a higher level of cognitive objective, using analysis, synthesis, and supporting conclusions with facts. There are several elements in the project that your department head will want to see to ensure that your work is on the right track. For one, he may want to see your research question to ensure that you are looking for the right information. If you can develop a specific and focused research question, you will have a good start. Next, you will look to see what information is already out there, and if your question has already been answered. Using a scientific approach, you will create a working hypothesis that will present your findings and conclusions. Remember that your ultimate objective is to arrive at a reasonable, well-supported analysis of the impact of the issue on your industry. This can be the first step that leads to practical solutions for your organization’s issues.
Next, you will prepare to do your research.
Step 2: Prepare to Do Research
You already have your assignment and a purpose for your research. In this step you will prepare for the research. For more information, see Why Do We Do Research? on the Conducting Research page, also in Project 2.
Another reason to do research is to answer basic questions. While there are many times that you should research using a traditional library and peer-reviewed journals, there will be many questions that are answerable by targeted internet searches. These are valid skills for you to develop and they will serve you well in your professional life. So, get acquainted with the Google Search tools so that you have them at your fingertips.
To get some background on various Cybersecurity issues, read Critical Challenges in Cybersecurity.
In the next step, you will select an issue.Step 3: Choose an Issue
In the last step, you prepared for your research. Now it is time to focus on an issue. Choose an issue from your research on a trend in your industry that has potential for great impact on the field, and then draft a preliminary question. Next, do some preliminary reading to see if the question has already been answered, or if there is enough information on the topic. Refine your question and submit it to the “so what” test. Will your answer contribute to knowledge about the issue you have selected? Is the question answerable? Remember that in academic work you do not normally write normative or open-ended questions, which start with the words should or would.
In the next step, you will create a hypothesis.
Step 4: Craft a Hypothesis
You have selected an issue to research. Now it is time to craft a working hypothesis as.

Introduction
It is important for qualitative data to be analyzed and the themes that emerge identified so that the data can be presented in a way that is understandable. Theme identification is an essential task in qualitative research and themes could mean abstract, often fuzzy, constructs which investigators identify before, during, and after data collection. I will discuss the themes that emerge from the data collected from the interview.Analyzing and presenting qualitative data in an understandable manner is a five step procedure that I will also explain in this paper.

WK 2 DQ 1Read the journal article The Ethics of Internet Resear.docxambersalomon88660
This document discusses research ethics and methods. It provides a summary of a journal article on the ethics of internet research and discusses how the internet can impact the research process. It also covers a lecture on research ethics, design, and hypothesis testing. Some key points made include the importance of ensuring privacy and confidentiality for research participants, and that original research involves collecting your own data to answer a research question rather than just summarizing other's work.
This document provides guidance for students on planning an inquiry for the WBS 3630 (WBA) Module 2. It discusses preparing to write a proposal, including reviewing relevant tools like observations, surveys, interviews, and documents. It provides examples of how to use these tools, emphasizing the importance of planning, obtaining permissions, and considering ethics. Students are asked to reflect on what they know and want to know, and to begin developing inquiry questions and understanding the planning process.
Recognizing and Organizing Opinions Expressed in the World ...butest
The document summarizes the MPQA project which investigated recognizing and organizing opinions expressed in text. The project developed a framework for annotating perspectives in documents, training machine learning models to identify perspectives, and using perspective information to cluster passages for question answering applications. Initial experiments found annotator agreement of 85% for direct opinions and 50% for indirect opinions. A simple classifier achieved 66.4% accuracy in identifying direct opinions, outperforming the baseline. Clustering results using perspective information were mixed, helping organize answers for some topics but not others.
A questionnaire is a series of written questions used to gather information from respondents. An effective questionnaire is highly structured to simply and systematically collect the same data from many people. Good questionnaire design involves determining study goals, knowing respondents, and considering costs before writing clear, direct questions that are pretested.

Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 40-50-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:
DISCUSSION 1
What did you learn that you did not already know?
This has been like some of the other material that we have covered. I have had exposure to many of the concepts in my master’s program but with this material I am provided both reinforcement of those concept understandings and present new perspectives on them. The from Management Information Systems: Managing the Digital Firm was particularly helpful. Material such as this can often require several iterations of review to begin to develop an understanding of how it can be applied. I have had exposure to similar material but being able to understand how to apply these concepts benefits considerably form exposure to new sources. This material is not abstract but at times being able to apply it in a practice manner almost does seem abstract. Being able to read this material helps me solidify thoughts and ideas on how to concretely implement them in real life situations, this type of process for me is something that requires deeper understanding of the “theory of operations”, for a lack of better words. In course I have gotten a lot of that.
What are some problems that are apparent in the field?
I am going to inject some major bias at this point as my masters was in software engineering and focused on enterprise architecture, IT systems research, software project management, and object-oriented paradigm. To me one of the biggest problems in the industries I have been in is shear negligence in researching the concepts of what software engineering is and how to manage information systems or information technology. The decision-making process is often left to those who have no technical background, two who’s motivations are at best questionable, and three have no concept of the magnitude or time line of projects. There is an abundant source of research, magazines, and various other forms of literature explicitly addressing these things in a practical manner oriented strictly towards helping organizations undertake such endeavors. I by no means consider myself to be an expert but I often find myself in a situation where I ask what should be some basic questions about projects and in return I receive an answer akin to “what are you talking about” or “I have never heard of that” or “I don’t know I never thought about that”.
What are might be some opportunities for research on the topics covered and how might you perform the appropriate research?
The above rant was a segue into this section because I feel that big data is becoming more prevalent and both the elements of software engineering and systems for big data could become victim to similar issues as stated before. Some issues for research in software engineer ...
This document provides guidance for teachers on generating topics for action research. It discusses identifying problems or issues in the classroom that could be addressed through action research. Teachers are encouraged to reflect individually and in groups to brainstorm potential topics. The document also introduces the Basic Education Research Agenda (BERA) published by the Department of Education, which lists priority research areas that teacher topics should align with. Example topics are provided for different BERA research themes like teaching and learning, child protection, human resource development and governance. Teachers are then guided through an activity to identify their own potential action research topic based on a classroom problem or issue. Criteria for formulating good research questions and hypotheses are also outlined.
This document discusses different techniques for systematically collecting primary data in qualitative research. It describes various techniques such as interviews, participant observation, focused group interviews, observational evaluation, biography/autobiography, and structured/unstructured/semi-structured questionnaires. Students participate in an activity analyzing a video to understand these techniques and their importance. They then evaluate examples of different data collection techniques and are assigned advance reading on qualitative data analysis.
Epistemic networks for Epistemic CommitmentsSimon Knight
The ways in which people seek and process information are fundamentally epistemic in nature. Existing epistemic cognition research has tended towards characterizing this fundamental relationship as cognitive or belief-based in nature. This paper builds on recent calls for a shift towards activity-oriented perspectives on epistemic cognition and proposes a new theory of ‘epistemic commitments’. An additional contribution of this paper comes from an analytic approach to this recast construct of epistemic commitments through the use of Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) to explore connections between particular modes of epistemic commitment. Illustrative examples are drawn from existing research data on children’s epistemic talk when engaged in collaborative information seeking tasks. A brief description of earlier analysis of this data is given alongside a newly conducted ENA to demonstrate the potential for such an approach.

The document discusses research design and measurement. It defines key concepts in research design such as the different types of scales used in measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio), sources of measurement error, and criteria for evaluating measurement tools. It also outlines the different descriptors of research design including the degree of question crystallization, data collection methods, time dimensions, research environment, and purpose of studies.
"Got a nail? I got a hammer": Lessons for data science from the "dawn" of big...Benjamin Keller
[presentation to Data Science Dojo meetup on 14 Jan 2015]
Years before anyone had uttered the words “data” and “science” together to mean a professional discipline, the NIH was funding the National Centers for Biomedical Computing. For five years, I was attached to one of these centers hosted at U.Michigan where scientists and computational experts were engaged in large projects attempting to explain complex phenomena in human disease by integrating the analysis of data and domain information. Rather than talk about the scientific success of this grand effort, I will discuss lessons from this experience that can guide us as we build our skills as data scientists and help others understand their data.
Biological Foundations for Deep Learning: Towards Decision Networksdiannepatricia
1) Neural networks and neuroscience share similar goals of developing a general algorithmic understanding through connectionist frameworks.
2) Cross-pollination between the fields can provide benefits, with neuroscience offering insights into biological learning rules and neural networks providing rigorous evaluation of network intelligence.
3) Recommendations and decision support is a domain well-suited for exploring these connections, as deep learning networks can learn representations to effectively match contexts to decisions, informed by challenges of generalization, feature importance, and multi-component learning stacks.
Having the skills and strategies to read, learn from, and communicate with the Internet will play a central role in our students’ success in an information age. But how can we best measure these new literacies? This session explores some of the challenges associated with developing valid and reliable measures of the complex literacy strategies and dispositions required to search for, comprehend, and respond to information on the Internet. The presenter will first share task examples and student responses from several assessments developed to measure online reading comprehension and communication skills. Then, conversation will turn to a number of important issues to consider when developing online literacy assessments that are not only psychometrically sound, but also useful to both researchers and classroom teachers. Participants will have an opportunity to share their own thoughts about how we might rethink the ways in which we evaluate the skills, strategies, and dispositions associated with reading and learning online.
This document discusses research methodology and defining a research problem. It provides definitions of research as a systematic, objective inquiry to answer questions and discover new knowledge. The purposes and characteristics of good research are outlined as providing a scientific basis, solving problems, and being systematic, objective, clear, feasible and empirical. Considerations for selecting a research problem include choosing a topic of interest, ensuring it is manageable in scope, that concepts can be measured, the researcher has sufficient expertise, the topic is relevant and data availability. Sources of research problems can come from issues related to people, problems, programs or phenomena. The steps provided to formulate a research problem involve identifying an area of interest, narrowing it to sub-areas, raising research
