Quantitative Reasoning in Mathematics and Science Education (Mathematics Education in the Digital Era #21)
by Patrick W. Thompson Gülseren Karagöz Akar İsmail Özgür Zembat Selahattin ArslanThis book focuses on quantitative reasoning as an orienting framework to analyse learning, teaching and curriculum in mathematics and science education. Quantitative reasoning plays a vital role in learning concepts foundational to arithmetic, algebra, calculus, geometry, trigonometry and other ideas in STEM. The book draws upon the importance of quantitative reasoning and its crucial role in education. It particularly delves into quantitative reasoning related to the learning and teaching diverse mathematics and science concepts, conceptual analysis of mathematical and scientific ideas and analysis of school mathematics (K-16) curricula in different contexts. We believe that it can be considered as a reference book to be used by researchers, teacher educators, curriculum developers and pre- and in-service teachers.

Quantitative Research for the Qualitative Researcher: O'dwyer: Quantitative Research For The Qualitative Researcher + Lichtman: Qualitative Research For The Social Sciences
by Laura O'Dwyer James A. BernauerQuantitative Research for the Qualitative Researcher is a concise, supplemental text that provides qualitatively oriented students and researchers with the requisite skills for conducting quantitative research. Throughout the book, authors Laura M. O’Dwyer and James A. Bernauer provide ample support and guidance to prepare readers both cognitively and attitudinally to conduct high quality research in the quantitative tradition. Highlighting the complementary nature of quantitative and qualitative research, they effectively explain the fundamental structure and purposes of design, measurement, and statistics within the framework of a research report, (including a dissertation). The text encourages the reader to see quantitative methodology for what it is?a process for systematically discovering new knowledge that can help describe, explain, and predict the world around us.

Quantitative Research in Education: A Primer
by Wayne K. Hoy Curt M. Adams"The book provides a reference point for beginning educational researchers to grasp the most pertinent elements of designing and conducting research…" —Megan Tschannen-Moran, The College of William & Mary Quantitative Research in Education: A Primer, Second Edition is a brief and practical text designed to allay anxiety about quantitative research. Award-winning authors Wayne K. Hoy and Curt M. Adams first introduce readers to the nature of research and science, and then present the meaning of concepts and research problems as they dispel notions that quantitative research is too difficult, too theoretical, and not practical. Rich with concrete examples and illustrations, the Primer emphasizes conceptual understanding and the practical utility of quantitative methods while teaching strategies and techniques for developing original research hypotheses. The Second Edition includes suggestions for empirical investigation and features a new section on self-determination theory, examples from the latest research, a concluding chapter illustrating the practical applications of quantitative research, and much more. This accessible Primer is perfect for students and researchers who want a quick understanding of the process of scientific inquiry and who want to learn how to effectively create and test ideas.

Quantitative and Statistical Data in Education: From Data Collection to Data Processing
by Angela Barthes Michel LariniThis book presents different data collection and representation techniques: elementary descriptive statistics, confirmatory statistics, multivariate approaches and statistical modeling. It exposes the possibility of giving more robustness to the classical methodologies of education sciences by adding a quantitative approach. The fundamentals of each approach and the reasons behind them are methodically analyzed, and both simple and advanced examples are given to demonstrate how to use them. Subsequently, this book can be used both as a course for the uninitiated and as an accompaniment for researchers who are already familiar with these concepts.
Quanto è bello il mio guscio!: Un racconto divertente di una tartaruga molto speciale. Libro per bambini da 5-6 anni.
by A. P. HernándezGertrude è una tartaruga molto speciale. Nel suo guscio ha tutto ciò che si può desiderare: una vasca idromassaggio, un frigorifero pieno di gelati, un divano e persino un televisore. Gertrude sta talmente bene nel suo guscio che sporge a malapena la testa. Ma un giorno... la sua vita cambierà per sempre!
Quantum Computing for the Quantum Curious
by Jessica Turner Ciaran Hughes Joshua Isaacson Anastasia Perry Ranbel F. SunThis open access book makes quantum computing more accessible than ever before. A fast-growing field at the intersection of physics and computer science, quantum computing promises to have revolutionary capabilities far surpassing “classical” computation. Getting a grip on the science behind the hype can be tough: at its heart lies quantum mechanics, whose enigmatic concepts can be imposing for the novice. This classroom-tested textbook uses simple language, minimal math, and plenty of examples to explain the three key principles behind quantum computers: superposition, quantum measurement, and entanglement. It then goes on to explain how this quantum world opens up a whole new paradigm of computing. The book bridges the gap between popular science articles and advanced textbooks by making key ideas accessible with just high school physics as a prerequisite. Each unit is broken down into sections labelled by difficulty level, allowing the course to be tailored to the student’s experience of math and abstract reasoning. Problem sets and simulation-based labs of various levels reinforce the concepts described in the text and give the reader hands-on experience running quantum programs. This book can thus be used at the high school level after the AP or IB exams, in an extracurricular club, or as an independent project resource to give students a taste of what quantum computing is really about. At the college level, it can be used as a supplementary text to enhance a variety of courses in science and computing, or as a self-study guide for students who want to get ahead. Additionally, readers in business, finance, or industry will find it a quick and useful primer on the science behind computing’s future.

Quasi-Experimentation: A Guide to Design and Analysis (Methodology in the Social Sciences)
by Charles S. ReichardtFeaturing engaging examples from diverse disciplines, this book explains how to use modern approaches to quasi-experimentation to derive credible estimates of treatment effects under the demanding constraints of field settings. Foremost expert Charles S. Reichardt provides an in-depth examination of the design and statistical analysis of pretest–posttest, nonequivalent groups, regression discontinuity, and interrupted time-series designs. He details their relative strengths and weaknesses and offers practical advice about their use. Comparing quasi-experiments to randomized experiments, Reichardt discusses when and why the former might be a better choice than the latter in the face of the contingencies that are likely to arise in practice. Modern methods for elaborating a research design to remove bias from estimates of treatment effects are described, as are tactics for dealing with missing data and noncompliance with treatment assignment. Throughout, mathematical equations are translated into words to enhance accessibility. Adding to its discussion of prototypical quasi-experiments, the book also provides a complete typology of quasi-experimental design options to help the reader craft the best research design to fit the circumstances of a given study.

Que dit la Bible sur LA FOI: Le pouvoir de LA FOI en Dieu
by Brian GugasÇa doit bien commencer quelque part, non ? Soyez honnête : votre première tendance a été d'être d'accord avec cette affirmation sans même savoir ce que c'est. Ai-je raison ? Si c'est le cas, ne vous inquiétez pas, parce que le «ça» dans ce cas est la FOI. La foi est la transition dans votre cœur et votre esprit qui dit a) que vous croyez que Dieu existe, ET b) qu'il veut vraiment, vraiment, vraiment récompenser (bénir) ceux qui le cherchent . Ou, comme je l'ai lu un jour, la foi est le fait de croire que Dieu peut faire, qu'il fera, et de vivre une vie qui dit merci, parce qu'il a fait. La foi est vraiment la victoire qui vainc le monde !
