Here are the answers to the measurement scale questions:
1) Number of absences - Ordinal
2) Letter grade on exam - Ordinal
3) Room temperature - Interval
4) Productivity - Ratio
5) Bicycle models - Nominal
6) Educational level - Ordinal
7) Number of questions - Ratio
8) Likert scale categories - Ordinal
The key things to remember are:
- Nominal has no quantitative properties
- Ordinal allows ranking but not equal intervals
- Interval has equal intervals but no absolute zero
- Ratio has all properties - magnitude, equal intervals, absolute zero
Let me know if any of these need more explanation!

Quantitative data analysis - John RichardsonOUmethods
Your project report should include: a viable research question; a critical literature review; a research proposal; and a work plan for the project. The proposed methods should include methods of data collection and methods of data analysis. Whether you are carrying out qualitative of quantitative research, you should know broadly how you are going to analyse your data before you collect them. And the work plan for your project should include a realistic estimate of the time it will take you to do the analysis. The aim of this presentation is to get you to think creatively about the kinds of analysis that might address your research problem.
when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it but when you cannot measure, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of meagre and unsatisfactory kind.”

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Introduction to the Practice of
Statistics
Carlo Magno, PhD
De la Salle University, Manila
2. The Process of Statistics
Step 1: Identify a Research Objective
• Researcher must determine question he/she
wants answered - question must be detailed.
• Identify the group to be studied. This group is
called the population.
• An individual is a person or object that is a
member of the population being studied
3. The Process of Statistics
Step 2: Collect the information needed to
answer the questions.
• In conducting research, we typically look at a
subset of the population, called a sample.
Step 3: Organize and summarize the
information.
• Descriptive statistics consists of organizing
and summarizing the information collected.
Consists of charts, tables, and numerical
summaries.
4. The Process of Statistics
Step 4: Draw conclusions from the
information.
• The information collected from the sample is
generalized to the population.
• Inferential statistics uses methods that
generalize results obtained from a sample to the
population and measure their reliability.
5. EXAMPLE The Process of Statistics
Many studies evaluate batterer treatment programs, but there are few
experiments designed to compare batterer treatment programs to
non-therapeutic treatments, such as community service. Researchers
designed an experiment in which 376 male criminal court defendants
who were accused of assaulting their intimate female partners were
randomly assigned into either a treatment group or a control group.
The subjects in the treatment group entered a 40-hour batterer
treatment program while the subjects in the control group received
40 hours of community service. After 6 months, it was reported that
21% of the males in the control group had further battering incidents,
while 10% of the males in the treatment group had further battering
incidents. The researchers concluded that the treatment was
effective in reducing repeat battering offenses.
Source: The Effects of a Group Batterer Treatment Program: A Randomized Experiment in
Brooklyn by Bruce G. Taylor, et. al. Justice Quarterly, Vol. 18, No. 1, March 2001.
6. Step 1: Identify the research objective.
To determine whether males accused of batterering
their intimate female partners that were assigned into
a 40-hour batter treatment program are less likely to
batter again compared to those assigned to 40-hours
of community service.
7. Step 2: Collect the information needed to answer the
question.
The researchers randomly divided the subjects into
two groups. Group 1 participants received the 40-hour
batterer program, while group 2 participants received
40 hours of community service. Group 1 is called the
treatment group and the program is called the
treatment. Group 2 is called the control group. Six
months after the program ended, the percentage of
males that battered their intimate female partner was
determined.
8. Step 3: Organize and summarize the information.
The demographic characteristics of the subjects in
the experimental and control group were similar.
After the six month treatment, 21% of the males in
the control group had any further battering
incidents, while 10% of the males in the treatment
group had any further battering incidents.
9. Step 4: Draw conclusions from the data.
We extend the results of the 376 males in the study
to all males who batter their intimate female
partner. That is, males who batter their female
partner and participate in a batter treatment
program are less likely to batter again.
10. What do we do in statistics?
• A sample of students from both public and private
schools were compared in their study habits. The
Survey of Study Habits (SSH) was administered
among 150 year 7 public HS students and 175
private HS students. The scores of the two samples
were separated. The means and standard deviations
were obtained for each group. The means were
compared using the t-test for two independent
samples. It was found in the study that private HS
students have significantly higher mean scores
than the public HS students.
11. Statistics is the science of collecting,
organizing, summarizing and analyzing
information in order to draw
conclusions.
12. Variables are the characteristics of the
individuals within the population
Key Point: Variables vary. Consider the
variable heights. If all individuals had the same
height, then obtaining the height of one
individual would be sufficient in knowing the
heights of all individuals. Of course, this is not
the case. As researchers, we wish to identify
the factors that influence variability.
13. Types of variables
• Intelligence test scores • Gender
• Spelling ability • Religious affiliation
• Personality test score • Socio-economic status
• Height
• Weight
• Heart rate
• Air pressure
14. Qualitative or Categorical variables allow for
classification of individuals based on some attribute or
characteristic.
Quantitative variables provide numerical measures
of individuals. Arithmetic operations such as addition
and subtraction can be performed on the values of the
quantitative variable and provide meaningful results.
15. EXAMPLE Distinguishing Between Qualitative and
Quantitative Variables
Determine whether the following variables are qualitative or
quantitative.
(a) Type of wood used to build a kitchen table.
(b) Number of yards Tiger Woods hits his drives.
(c) Number of times your Internet service goes down
in the next 30 days.
17. Types of quantitative variable
• Chairs in a classroom • Height of a tree
• Rooms in hotel • Size of paper
• Plates in the kitchen • Salary of a supervisor
• Magazines in a table • Grams of
carbohydrates in
cereals
18. A discrete variable is a quantitative variable that either
has a finite number of possible values or a countable
number of possible values. The term “countable”
means the values result from counting such as 0, 1, 2, 3,
and so on.
A continuous variable is a quantitative variable that
has an infinite number of possible values it can take on
and can be measured to any desired level of accuracy.
19. EXAMPLE Distinguishing Between Continuous and
Discrete Variables
Determine whether the following quantitative variables
are continuous or discrete.
(a) Number of yards Tiger Woods hits his drives.
(b) Number of times your Internet service goes down
in the next 30 days.
20. The list of observations a variable assumes is called
data.
While gender is a variable, the observations, male or
female, are data.
Qualitative data are observations corresponding to a
qualitative variable.
Quantitative data are observations corresponding to a
quantitative variable.
•Discrete data are observations corresponding to
a discrete variable.
•Continuous data are observations
corresponding to a continuous variable.

24. Types of Measurement Scales
Nominal Scales - there must be distinct classes but these classes
have no quantitative properties. Therefore, no comparison can be made
in terms of one category being higher than the other.
For example - there are two classes for the variable gender -- males and
females. There are no quantitative properties for this variable or these
classes and, therefore, gender is a nominal variable.
Other Examples:
country of origin
biological sex (male or female)
animal or non-animal
married vs. single
24
25. Nominal Scale
• Sometimes numbers are used to designate category
membership
• Example:
Country of Origin
1 = United States 3 = Canada
2 = Mexico 4 = Other
• However, in this case, it is important to keep in
mind that the numbers do not have intrinsic meaning
25
26. Types of Measurement Scales
Ordinal Scales - there are distinct classes but these
classes have a natural ordering or ranking. The
differences can be ordered on the basis of magnitude.
For example - final position of horses in a
thoroughbred race is an ordinal variable. The horses
finish first, second, third, fourth, and so on. The
difference between first and second is not necessarily
equivalent to the difference between second and third,
or between third and fourth.
26
27. Ordinal Scales
• Does not assume that the intervals between numbers are equal
Example:
finishing place in a race (first place, second place)
1st place 2nd place 3rd place 4th place
1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours 6 hours 7 hours 8 hours
27
28. Types of Measurement Scales (cont.)
Interval Scales - it is possible to compare differences in magnitude,
but importantly the zero point does not have a natural meaning. It
captures the properties of nominal and ordinal scales -- used by most
psychological tests.
Designates an equal-interval ordering - The distance between, for
example, a 1 and a 2 is the same as the distance between a 4 and a 5
Example - Celsius temperature is an interval variable. It is meaningful to
say that 25 degrees Celsius is 3 degrees hotter than 22 degrees Celsius,
and that 17 degrees Celsius is the same amount hotter (3 degrees) than
14 degrees Celsius. Notice, however, that 0 degrees Celsius does not
have a natural meaning. That is, 0 degrees Celsius does not mean the
absence of heat!
28
29. Types of Measurement Scales (cont.)
Ratio Scales - captures the properties of the other types of
scales, but also contains a true zero, which represents the
absence of the quality being measured.
For example - heart beats per minute has a very natural zero
point. Zero means no heart beats. Weight (in grams) is also a
ratio variable. Again, the zero value is meaningful, zero grams
means the absence of weight.
Example:
the number of intimate relationships a person has had
0 quite literally means none
a person who has had 4 relationships has had twice as
many as someone who has had 2 29
30. Types of Measurement Scales (cont.)
• Each of these scales have different properties (i.e.,
difference, magnitude, equal intervals, or a true zero point)
and allows for different interpretations.
• The scales are listed in hierarchical order. Nominal scales
have the fewest measurement properties and ratio having the
most properties including the properties of all the scales
beneath it on the hierarchy.
• The goal is to be able to identify the type of measurement
scale, and to understand proper use and interpretation of the
scale.
30
31. Types of scales
• Nominal scales--qualitative, not quantitative
distinction (no absolute zero, not equal intervals, not
magnitude)
• Ordinal scales--ranking individuals (magnitude, but
not equal intervals or absolute zero)
• Interval scales--scales that have magnitude and equal
intervals but not absolute zero
• Ratio scales--have magnitude, equal intervals, and
absolute zero (so can compute ratios)
31
32. Test Your Knowledge:
A professor is interested in the relationship between the number
of times students are absent from class and the letter grade that
students receive on the final exam. He records the number of
absences for each student, as well as the letter grade
(A,B,C,D,F) each student earns on the final exam. In this
example, what is the measurement scale for number of
absences?
a)Nominal b) Ordinal c) Interval d) Ratio

34. A researcher is interested in studying the effect of room
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit on productivity of automobile
assembly workers. She controls the temperature of the three
manufacturing facilities, such that employees in one facility work
in a room temperature of 60 degrees, employees in another
facility work in a room temperature of 65 degrees, and the last
group works in a room temperature of 70 degrees. The
productivity of each group is indicated by the number of
automobiles produced each day. In this example, what is the
measurement scale of room temperature?
