Full textCM development process regarding their cognitive processes. Two experiments were designed
eye-tracking, written and verbal data were collected from 29 pre-service teachers and 6 subject matter experts.Data were analyzed by using qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods. The results indicated that eventhough some of the strategies were similar, there were different patterns followed by the experts and novices during the CM development process. Both experts and novices embraced &lsquo
deductive reasoning&rsquo
, and preferred &lsquo
hierarchical&rsquo
type of CMs. The other patterns recognized during the process were&lsquo
filling information in an order&rsquo
, &lsquo
branch construction pattern&rsquo
,&lsquo
content richness&rsquo
and &lsquo
progress pattern&rsquo
. Novices and experts were distinguished in their content richness measures which used to determine the quality of the maps. Regarding the progress pattern, novices and experts differed in terms of the frequency and duration for specific acts invarious phases of their progress in CM development process. Furthermore, expert participants differed from novices in their fixation count numbers, fixation durations, visit duration periods for specific actions. Fixation count numbers of the novices were higher than the experts during the entire process and in specific dimensions of the CM development process. As a conclusion, these pattern differences affect the CM development process directly and the instructors need to give emphasis to these critical points while using CM during the instruction, and with the help of these pattern differences, instructors could guide the learner effectively and acquire content rich CMs.

This dissertation investigates and compares the methods of proof validation utilized by novice and expert mathematicians within the realm of Euclidean geometry. With the use of eye tracking technology, our study presents empirical evidence supporting claims previously studied only through the use of verbal protocols. Our investigation settles a series of contentious results surrounding the practical implementation of the generalized validation strategy called zooming out (Inglis and Alcock, 2012; Weber, Mejia-Ramos, Inglis, and Alcock, 2013). This strategy analyzes the overall structure of a proof as an application of methods or logical chunks. Settling the debate through use of longer and more complicated proofs devoid of blatant errors, we found that validators do not initially skim-read proofs to gain structural insight. We did however confirm the practical implementation of zooming out strategies. The literature identifies within the proof validation process specific differences between novices and experts. We are interested in a holistic understanding of novice and expert validations. We therefore present the direct comparison of entire validation processes that assess the similarity of novice and expert overall validation attempts. We found that the validation processes of novices and experts share a certain degree of similarity. In fact novices tend to be closer to experts than to other novices. And when validations are clustered, the groups are heterogeneous with regard to mathematical maturity. Our investigation expands the proof validation literature by including diagrams in the proof validation process. We found that experts tend to spend more time proportionally on the diagram than novices and that novices spend more time on the text. Furthermore, experts tend to draw more connections within the diagram than novices as indicated by a higher proportion of attentional changes within the diagrams. Experts seem to draw on the power of visualizations within the mathematics itself, spending more time on conceptual understanding and intended connections.

Full textThe recent proliferation of technologies to collect and analyze “Big Data” has changed the research landscape, making it easier for some to use unprecedented amounts of real-time data to guide decisions and build ‘knowledge.’ In the three articles of this dissertation, I examine what these changes reveal about the nature of expertise and the position of the researcher. In the first article, “Monopoly or Generosity? ‘Rock Stars’ of Big Data, Data Democrats, and the Role of Technologies in Systems of Expertise,” I challenge the claims of recent scholarship, which frames the monopoly of experts and the spread of systems of expertise as opposing forces. I analyze video recordings (N= 30) of the proceedings of two professional conferences about Big Data Analytics (BDA), and I identify distinct orientations towards BDA practice among presenters: (1) those who argue that BDA should be conducted by highly specialized “Rock Star” data experts, and (2) those who argue that access to BDA should be “democratized” to non-experts through the use of automated technology. While the “data democrats” ague that automating technology enhances the spread of the system of BDA expertise, they ignore the ways that it also enhances, and hides, the monopoly of the experts who designed the technology. In addition to its implications for practitioners of BDA, this work contributes to the sociology of expertise by demonstrating the importance of focusing on both monopoly and generosity in order to study power in systems of expertise, particularly those relying extensively on technology. Scholars have discussed several ways that the position of the researcher affects the production of knowledge. In “Distance Makes the Scholar Grow Fonder? The Relationship Between Analytical Distance and Critical Reflection on Methods in Big Data Analytics,” I pinpoint two types of researcher “distance” that have already been explored in the literature (experiential and interactional), and I identify a third type of distance—analytical distance—that has not been examined so far. Based on an empirical analysis of 113 articles that utilize Twitter data, I find that the analytical distance that authors maintain from the coding process is related to whether the authors include explicit critical reflections about their research in the article. Namely, articles in which the authors automate the coding process are significantly less likely to reflect on the reliability or validity of the study, even after controlling for factors such as article length and author’s discipline. These findings have implications for numerous research settings, from studies conducted by a team of scholars who delegate analytic tasks, to “big data” or “e-science” research that automates parts of the analytic process. Individuals who engage in self-tracking—collecting data about themselves or aspects of their lives for their own purposes—occupy a unique position as both researcher and subject. In the sociology of knowledge, previous research suggests that low experiential distance between researcher and subject can lead to more nuanced interpretations but also blind the researcher to his or her underlying assumptions. However, these prior studies of distance fail to explore what happens when the boundary between researcher and subject collapses in “N of one” studies. In “The Collapse of Experiential Distance and the Inescapable Ambiguity of Quantifying Selves,” I borrow from art and literary theories of grotesquerie—another instance of the collapse of boundaries—to examine the collapse of boundaries in self-tracking. Based on empirical analyses of video testimonies (N=102) and interviews (N=7) with members of the Quantified Self community of self-trackers, I find that ambiguity and multiplicity are integral facets of these data practices. I discuss the implications of these findings for the sociological study of researcher distance, and also the practical implications for the neoliberal turn that assigns responsibility to individuals to collect, analyze, and make the best use of personal data

Full textSituation-specific skills are an important part of teacher expertise and are particularly relevant in the area of classroom management. Against the background of general and classroom management-specific teacher competence and expertise research, this dissertation systematically synthesized previous findings and also investigated how novice and expert teachers differ in their skills with regard to classroom management. Study 1 summarized the state of research in a systematic review of 60 empirical studies, thereby identifying insights into teachers’ skills and their facilitation, as well as the conceptual frameworks of the studies. For Study 2 and Study 3, the skills of 20 novice and 20 expert teachers were examined using video clips that show events relevant to classroom management. Study 2 investigated format-specific expertise effects and, in particular, the skill of perception by using eye tracking methods. Experts were found to focus on students and their learning, while novices showed less pronounced skills, especially in the partner work format. Using teachers’ retrospective verbal analyses of classroom management events, Study 3 examined expertise effects with respect to teachers’ perception, interpretation and decision-making. Again, expertise was characterized by a focus on students. In addition, experts proposed more alternative courses of action than novices. In summary, it can be concluded that experts are superior to novices especially with regard to the skill of decision-making. Furthermore, the results indicate that more open formats of instruction are particularly challenging for novices. The relevance of the results is discussed with regard to general expertise and competence research as well as classroom management research. The studies point to theoretical ambiguities regarding the construct of situation-specific skills, as well as an overemphasis of previous research on behavioral management in whole-group instruction settings.

In order to achieve better advertising effects, a viewer needs to notice the advertisement first, then comprehend its advertising appeal, and finally make the purchase decision if he/she likes the message. This study evaluated advertising effects, taking advertisement appeal (rational vs. emotional) and user's domain knowledge (expert vs. novice) as independent variables, and an Eye-link 2000 eye-tracking device as the apparatus. The examining time on different visual spots, the recall of the advertisement message, felt involvement and the purchase intention were dependent variables. Eighty subjects participated in the experiment, and only 74 valid cases were available for the final analysis. The results are as follows. First, there were significant differences in time spent on text and graphs as well as memory recall between rational and emotional advertisement appeals. Second, there were also significant differences in time spent on text, graphs, and product specifications between experts and novices. The differences were also found in memory recall and felt involvement. Finally, there were interactions between advertisement appeal and domain knowledge in time spent on the text message, memory recall and purchase intention.
