Efficient Learning For the Poor: New insights Into Literacy Acquisition for Children
(SpringerDepartment of Curriculum and Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2008)Reading depends on the speed of visual recognition and capacity of short-term memory. To understand a sentence, the mind must read it fast enough to capture it within the limits of the short-term memory. This means that ... -
American Indian Students Speak Out: What's Good Citizenship?
(Ball State University, 2008)For much of our country’s history, citizenship has eluded American Indian people. With this in mind, the authors conducted a study to determine the perceptions of eighth and eleventh grade American Indian students regarding ... -
Instructional time loss in developing countries : concepts, measurement, and implications
(World Bank, 2009)Students in developing countries are often taught for only a fraction of the intended number of school hours. Time is often wasted due to informal school closures, teacher absenteeism, delays, early departures, and poor ... -
On simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type III and Type XII distributions
(Hikari Ltd,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2010)This paper describes a method for simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type III and Type XII distributions with specified correlation matrices. The methodology is based on the derivation of the parametric forms of ... -

SIG en la nube: WebSIG para la enseñanza de la geografía
(Grupo de Didáctica de la Geografía de la Asociación de Geógrafos EspañolesDepartment of Instruction and Curriculum, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2011)There is no doubt among most geography educators that GIS is an important tool for teaching and learning, but its use has been slowed by issues such as the cost of the software and the management of large spatial data ... -
Reading fluency measurements in EFA FTI partner countries : outcomes and improvement prospects
(World Bank, 2011)Students in lower-income countries often acquire limited literacy in school and often drop out illiterate. For those who stay, the problem is not detected until it is too late to intervene. Oral reading fluency tests given ... -

A doubling method for the generalized lambda distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012)This paper introduces a new family of generalized lambda distributions (GLDs) based on a method of doubling symmetric GLDs. The focus of the development is in the context of L-moments and L-correlation theory. As such, ... -
