Secondary Analysis of the TIMSS Data
Researchers who participate in IEA studies have a unique opportunity to work collaboratively with their counterparts from many different countries and disciplinary backgrounds over a period of several years on questions of shared academic interest. Once the data for a given study have been collected and the first round of international reports published, however, opportunities for that kind of collaboration tend to be much less frequent. A major strength of IEA studies compared to other large-sc...

Explaining Algorithms Using Metaphors (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Michal Forisek and Monika Steinova
There is a significant difference between designing a new algorithm, proving its correctness, and teaching it to an audience.

This process can often be facilitated by using suitable metaphors. This work provides a set of novel metaphors identified and developed as suitable tools for teaching many of the "classic textbook" algorit...
