Computer-Guided Inquiry to Improve Science Learning
Engaging students in inquiry practices is known to motivate them to persist in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and to create lifelong learners. In inquiry, students initiate investigations,…

Advice for Mathematical Argumentation
“Telling” can be an effective tool in helping students engage in intellectually demanding argumentation and productive behavior.

Generalized Effective-Medium Theory for Metamaterials
We present an effective-medium model for calculating the frequency-dependent effective permittivity ε(ω) and permeability μ(ω) of metamaterial composites containing spherical particles with arbitrary permittivity and permeability.

Who is where? Characteristics of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in regular and special schools
A secondary analysis of the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 database was conducted to examine differences in the characteristics of students who attended special schools, such as schools for the…

Experimental Demonstration of a Broadband All-Dielectric Metamaterial Perfect Reflector
Here we present the demonstration of a single-negative all-dielectric metamaterial that possesses peak reflectance over 99% and an average reflectance over 98% across a 200 nm wide bandwidth in the short-wavelength…

Digital Games, Design, and Learning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Brief)
The present meta-analysis synthesized research on digital games to systematically examine their efficacy for learning. We focused on research published between 2000 and 2012 in light of the dramatic evolution…

Digital Games, Design, and Learning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Executive Summary)
We synthesize comparisons of game conditions versus non-game conditions (i.e., media comparisons) as well as comparisons of augmented game designs versus equivalent standard game designs (i.e., value-added comparisons).
