Expanding Dialogic Space in Online Undergraduate Research Training: A Design-Based Approach
… and measure the expansion of dialogic space by redesigning an online undergraduate-level research program. This study employs a dialogic form of Design-Based Research (DBR) to explore the operationalization of expanding online dialogic spaces through the development, implementation, evaluation, …

Using Mobile Phones to Enhance Small Group Dialogic Learning: A Design Based Approach to Educational Innovation in Rural East Africa
… the misalignment of learning with mobiles approaches as they are applied to rural communities of adult learners in East Africa. Most models of learning with mobiles do not work well for rural adult learners: they predominantly focus on the capabilities of the technology and not the …

Cognitive Structural Change and the Technological Design Process
… (STEM). Integrative STEM education utilizes design-based pedagogical approaches to teach science/math content and practices concurrently with technology/engineering content and practices (Wells & Ernst, 2012, para. 2). The discipline of technology education has traditionally implemented …

Testing Measurement Invariance in Multilevel Data with Unequal Cross-Level Factor Structures
… confirmatory factor analysis (MMCFA) and the design-based approaches. The MMCFA approach estimates sample covariance matrices at different levels separately. The design-based approach treats nested data as single-level and accounts for data dependency by adjusting the test statistics and …

Design and Model-based Approaches for Estimating Abundance of American Horseshoe Crab
… abundance of HSC in the Delaware Bay area were based on a design-based approach using a stratified random sampling design. In Chapter 1 of this work, I developed hurdle models for each of the six HSC demographic groups to standardize catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) and estimate relative abundance …

Modernising traffic flow analysis: A computer vision-driven prototype for vehicle detection
… New Zealand through the use of computer vision approaches. This research assumes a design-based approach, comprised of two iteration-based approaches employed to develop a prototype for vehicle detection utilising an Nvidia Jetson Nano. The approaches are analysed according to accuracy, …

Beyond Embrittlement: In-Situ Explorations of Hydrogen Effects Near the Boundaries
… detecting hydrogen behaviors. This thesis first designs in situ experiments that combine different scanning electron microscopy based characterization capabilities with hydrogen charging and detection methods to set correlation between local hydrogen distribution, microstructure, and defect …

Dialogic teaching for students with conditions within the autism spectrum
… to address this issue. These strategies were based on empirically tested ones commonly used as part of dialogic teaching. Dialogic teaching represents a pedagogical approach and stance towards learning that recognises the crucial role of language and social interactions in development and …

Statistical modeling of longitudinal survey data with binary outcomes
… surveys using complex multi-stage sampling designs contain cross-sectional dependencies among units caused by inherent hierarchies in the data, and within subject correlation arising due to repeated measurements. The statistical methods used for analyzing such data should account for …

Dynamic exergy-based methods for improving the operation of building energy systems
… application of conventional and advanced exergy-based methods. Two different case studies are considered here. The first one is a theoretical single-office building equipped with heating and ventilation systems, located in a typical cold-climate region. The second case study is a real-life …

Uncovering and Exploiting Cucurbit[8]uril Host-Guest Dynamics in Bulk Mechanical Behaviour
… of smart materials from benchtop curiosity to a design-based approach with myriad application. Hydrogels based on cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) supramolecular interactions are ideal candidates to study this relationship due to the variability in guests and binding modes it accommodates. In the first …

Dialogic education, historical thinking and epistemic beliefs: a design-based research study of teaching in Taiwanese classrooms
… of historical personal epistemology through a design-based approach. Empirical evidence emerging in previous decades has acknowledged that good quality classroom dialogue could have a positive impact on students’ learning. Through dialogic teaching, it has been argued that teachers could probe …
