      B. Professional and Academic Teaching Positions

      07/01-08/03  Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA

      Senior Post-Doctoral Fellow. Research Laboratory of Electronics –RELATE (Research in Learning, Assessing, and Tutoring Effectively)

      RELATE Group is directed by Prof. David Pritchard, who, having mentored four Nobel prize winners, is known as one of the world’s leading mentors.  I collaborated with him on CyberTutor, a sophisticated interactive Web-based tutor designed to improve learning experience for teachers and students.  I was responsible for research in education and instructional technology based on statistical analysis as well as ways to improve and measure the impact of the CyberTutor in education effectiveness.  My work also included:

      • Co-responsible for some facets of research including proposal writing, funding, research design, management, execution, statistical analysis and synthesis, and report writing;
      • Conducted statistical analysis using SPSS, UNIX, ACCESS, and SQL; and
      • Made presentations at local and national, and international academic conferences

      Major Research:

       Effectiveness of Course Elements: The Value of Using [?] of Technology in Education.  This research was especially stimulating.  Consistent with my belief that using technology in teaching can improve students’ understanding of the subject, we found that students who elected to do more electronic homework significantly improved their scores on the assessment instruments relative to their performance on these instruments before using CyberTutor.  This research is particularly important because it suggests that efforts to improve instruction should concentrate on improving instructional formats.

        Electronic homework As Part of the Performance Assessment Algorithm.  Electronic homework that combines assessment and tutoring as a performance assessment instrument is both reliable and valid. This study presented several assessment algorithms with a maximum reliability of 99.9 %.  It showed that an electronic homework tutor has about an order of magnitude less variance per unit time than paper-testing assessments (i.e. a 3-hour final exam and 12 weekly tests together).  In addition, its high validity allows using CyberTutor for predicting subsequent exam results.

       Relationship Between Conceptual Learning and Quantitative Learning.  Physics education research shows that conceptual understanding is not necessary for students to do well on standard quantitative problems in introductory physics. This study addressed a related question:  is conceptual understanding sufficient or helpful for students to do well in quantitative problems?  Our results showed little inductive influence upon the quantitative from doing the conceptual first, but suggested that working on the quantitative problem first helps students with the subsequent conceptual one.

      A Correlation Analysis of the Students’ Response Variables from Online Tutoring System.  We examined the correlation of 12 background variables determined from a student survey with assessment instruments including paper-testing instruments (e.g. final exam and weekly tests) and an electronic assessment from the results of a Web-based homework tutorial. On this basis we suggested that the use of un-timed Web-based tutorials can make an important contribution to assess student performance, without bias due to students’ background differences.

      Abstract:

       

      A computer-implemented system, which is applicable to a variety of specific knowledge domains, conducts an interactive dialog with a student. The dialog helps the student arrive at a correct solution to a problem, for example by presenting problems in multiple parts, providing hints or simpler subparts to the student when requested or appropriate, and responding usefully to the student’s wrong answers. The system interprets the nature of a student’s errors to adapt the interaction to that student. For example, the system can select questions based on a detailed assessment of the student’s knowledge. The questions can have a variety of types of answers, including freeform answer types, for example symbolic expressions. The system can include authoring tools to let teachers write problems, displays detailed information on how students interact with these problems, and allows teachers

      C.2. Liberty Partnership/Long Island Urban League (2005)

      Conduct qualitative observation of the Liberty Partnership/Long Island Urban League after school academic intervention services, career development and counseling services. I visited Central Islip High School and Middle School to conduct this study. At the high school, eleven students participated in the focus group. From the program staff, one teacher and the program coordinator who taught math skills were interviewed.

      At the middle school, fourteen students participated in the focus group. Three faculty members were interviewed (two instructors conducting group lesson; and one working individually with students on a computer for SAT preparation and career counseling were interviewed.) The principal of the Middle School joined the after-school session and participated in the individual interviews. After the consulting a series of workshops was suggested. I conducted one workshop and additional ones are planned.

       

       

      C.3. The Long Island Regional School Support Center Evaluation (2006-2007)

       Evaluation done by Dowling College and the Eastern Suffolk BOCES’ Office of Research and Planning distilled concepts from extensive analysis of the online survey data and are now scheduling district site visits to confirm and expand upon their qualitative research findings.

       As part of the evaluation team, I met with the staff as a whole and then individually. A complete assessment document was presented.

       C.4. Bridgehampton School District (2007-2008)

       Consulting activity.  I created a program call “The tech series” to motivate teachers in Bridgehampton School District effectively uses of technology in their classroom. That program included a weekly newsletter prepared by me, in which I provided information about instructional technology to the Bridgehampton community. I also provide private tutoring advice to teachers and administrators as part of “The tech series”. I also prepared a course to fits their needs “Weaving the web into teaching and learning” that focused on the effective uses of the internet, creating webquests, and their classroom web-pages.

         Abstract:

        A computer-implemented system, which is applicable to a variety of specific knowledge domains, conducts an interactive dialog with a student. The dialog helps the student arrive at a correct solution to a problem, for example by presenting problems in multiple parts, providing hints or simpler subparts to the student when requested or appropriate, and responding usefully to the student’s wrong answers. The system interprets the nature of a student’s errors to adapt the interaction to that student. For example, the system can select questions based on a detailed assessment of the student’s knowledge. The questions can have a variety of types of answers, including freeform answer types, for example symbolic expressions. The system can include authoring tools to let teachers write problems, displays detailed information on how students interact with these problems, and allows teachers to address frequently given incorrect responses. The system can provide a skill rating of each student on a preselected list of topics, each of which might be an element of knowledge for example declarative, conceptual, or procedural knowledge.

      This book, merges geopolitical scholarship with military history to present a futuristic scenario involving China and the United States engaged in armed conflict. The authors see a repeat of the unsuccessful plan employed by the Germans during WWII to isolate the U.S. from its southern neighbors in a campaign that originated in South America. China stands a better chance of being successful using this plan than Germany because this time Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay are already in their way to be disarmed.

      However, war is not the end of the story. We present a philosophy of social harmony to avoid the final conflict.  He proposes that the harmonious relationships one observes in nature can be the foundation of human interaction for individuals, communities, and nations. Further, he posits that throughout the universe, all matter and anti-matter—isolated or in combination—that can be created or that fulfills a purpose, consists of parts and/or systems which conform to time and space with each other and maintain equilibrium in the environment in which they develop. As long as the equilibrium is maintained, there is harmony. The absence of equilibrium is the beginning of disorder: war/destruction is its end. And even when disorder exists, the force of nature seeks an eventual return to harmony.

    “The exhibit, called “Day of the Dead in the Andes,” is co-sponsored by the local Latin American Cultural Union and was instigated by Pitt doctoral students Sofia Morote and Patricia Documet, both Peruvians” (Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh, PA October, 15, 1998)

     

    Sofia Proposed to built a 5-ft “Retablo,” a traditional wooden box with doors used in Latin America to celebrate special occasions. Sofia targeted the “Day of the Dead” celebration here in Pittsburgh and more than 100 people, families and kids, were involved in the 3-month project. As a result from this Project, LACU was able to obtain a grant to build a second “Retablo” made by Latino youth and families living in Pittsburgh, reaching over 300 people” (Brent Rondon, President of Latin American Cultural Union (LACU)) in radial interview, Pittsburgh, December 1999.
