Modelling the sustainability of a primary school digital education curricular reform and professional development program

Francesco Mondada, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Emilie-Charlotte Monnier, Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier

Sustaining changes in teachers’ practices is a challenge that determines the success of curricular reforms, from which Digital Education (DE) is not exempt. As the literature on sustainability is considered “scarce” and “scattered”, long-term studies model ...

Discussion of ‘Experimental Evaluation of Algorithm-Assisted Human Decision-Making: Application to Pretrial Public Safety Assessment’, part 2

Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet

Imai et al.(IJGHS) have conducted a timely experiment on evaluating a decision support algorithm. However, we are concerned by their choice of estimands which, even if they appear plausible at first, rely on notions and assumptions for which we cannot ever ...

Localizing Traffic Differentiation

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki, Zeinab Shmeis

Network neutrality is important for users, content providers, policymakers, and regulators interested in understanding how network providers differentiate performance. When determining whether a network differentiates against certain traffic, it is importa ...

When do Minimax-fair Learning and Empirical Risk Minimization Coincide?

Volkan Cevher

Minimax-fair machine learning minimizes the error for the worst-off group. However, empirical evidence suggests that when sophisticated models are trained with standard empirical risk minimization (ERM), they often have the same performance on the worst-of ...

A case for co-construction with teachers in curricular reform: Introducing computer science in primary school

Francesco Mondada, Helena Kovacs, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Barbara Bruno

With the introduction of Computer Science (CS) into curricula worldwide, researchers have investigated whether CS could be introduced transversally, as a support other disciplines. Few however consider both student learning and the teachers’ perspective in ...

Interventions for Softening Can Lead to Hardening of Opinions: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Robert West, Andreas Oliver Spitz, Ahmad Abu-Akel

Motivated by the goal of designing interventions for softening polarized opinions on the Web, and building on results from psychology, we hypothesized that people would be moved more easily towards opposing opinions when the latter were voiced by a celebri ...

From experimental evidence to mechanical modeling and design expressions: The Critical Shear Crack Theory for shear design

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Many research efforts have so far been devoted to the topic of shear design of members without transverse reinforcement since the first development in structural concrete. This has allowed a number of significant advances in the understanding of the phenom ...
