Big Data and Learning Analytics in Higher Education: Current Theory and Practice
by Ben Kei DanielThis book focuses on the uses of big data in the context of higher education. The book describes a wide range of administrative and operational data gathering processes aimed at assessing institutional performance and progress in order to predict future performance, and identifies potential issues related to academic programming, research, teaching and learning. Big data refers to data which is fundamentally too big and complex and moves too fast for the processing capacity of conventional database systems. The value of big data is the ability to identify useful data and turn it into useable information by identifying patterns and deviations from patterns.

Big Data for Qualitative Research
by Kathy A. MillsBig Data for Qualitative Research covers everything small data researchers need to know about big data, from the potentials of big data analytics to its methodological and ethical challenges. The data that we generate in everyday life is now digitally mediated, stored, and analyzed by web sites, companies, institutions, and governments. Big data is large volume, rapidly generated, digitally encoded information that is often related to other networked data, and can provide valuable evidence for study of phenomena. This book explores the potentials of qualitative methods and analysis for big data, including text mining, sentiment analysis, information and data visualization, netnography, follow-the-thing methods, mobile research methods, multimodal analysis, and rhythmanalysis. It debates new concerns about ethics, privacy, and dataveillance for big data qualitative researchers. This book is essential reading for those who do qualitative and mixed methods research, and are curious, excited, or even skeptical about big data and what it means for future research. Now is the time for researchers to understand, debate, and envisage the new possibilities and challenges of the rapidly developing and dynamic field of big data from the vantage point of the qualitative researcher.

Big Data in Cognitive Science (Frontiers of Cognitive Psychology)
by Michael N. JonesWhile laboratory research is the backbone of collecting experimental data in cognitive science, a rapidly increasing amount of research is now capitalizing on large-scale and real-world digital data. Each piece of data is a trace of human behavior and offers us a potential clue to understanding basic cognitive principles. However, we have to be able to put the pieces together in a reasonable way, which necessitates both advances in our theoretical models and development of new methodological techniques. The primary goal of this volume is to present cutting-edge examples of mining large-scale and naturalistic data to discover important principles of cognition and evaluate theories that would not be possible without such a scale. This book also has a mission to stimulate cognitive scientists to consider new ways to harness big data in order to enhance our understanding of fundamental cognitive processes. Finally, this book aims to warn of the potential pitfalls of using, or being over-reliant on, big data and to show how big data can work alongside traditional, rigorously gathered experimental data rather than simply supersede it. In sum, this groundbreaking volume presents cognitive scientists and those in related fields with an exciting, detailed, stimulating, and realistic introduction to big data – and to show how it may greatly advance our understanding of the principles of human memory, perception, categorization, decision-making, language, problem-solving, and representation.

Big Dreams: The Science of Dreaming and the Origins of Religion
by Kelly BulkeleyBig dreams are rare but highly memorable dream experiences that make a strong and lasting impact on the dreamer's waking awareness. Moving far beyond "I forgot to study and the finals are today" and other common scenarios, such dreams can include vivid imagery, intense emotions, fantastic characters, and an uncanny sense of being connected to forces beyond one's ordinary dreaming mind. In Big Dreams, Kelly Bulkeley provides the first full-scale cognitive scientific analysis of such dreams, putting forth an original theory about their formation, function, and meaning. Big dreams have played significant roles in religious and cultural history, but because of their infrequent occurrence and fantastical features, they have rarely been studied in light of modern science. We know a great deal about the religious manifestations of big dreams throughout history and around the world, but until now that cross-cultural knowledge has never been integrated with scientific research on their psychological roots in the brain-mind system. In Big Dreams, Bulkeley puts a classic psychological thesis to the scientific test by clarifying and improving it with better data, sharper analysis, and a broader evolutionary framework. He brings evidence from multiple sources, shows patterns of similarity and difference, questions prior assumptions, and provides predictive models that can be applied to new sets of data. The notion of a connection between dreaming and religion has always been intuitively compelling; Big Dreams transforms it into a solid premise of religious studies and brain-mind science. Combining evidence from religious studies, psychology, anthropology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience, Big Dreams makes a compelling argument that big dreams are a primal wellspring of religious experience. They represent an innate, neurologically hard-wired capacity of our species that regularly provokes greater self-awareness, creativity, and insight into the existential challenges and spiritual potentials of human life.

The Big Five in SLA (Second Language Learning and Teaching)
by Ewa Piechurska-KucielThis book also focuses on analyzing each trait from the point of view of its higher and lower order structure, as well as from the affective, cognitive, behavioral, social and academic perspectives, apart from outlining the field of personality psychology. Personality traits are important in daily interaction, and are a significant factor in achieving educational goals also for second and foreign language (L2) learners. Consequently, studying the role of personality in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) appears to be of primary importance, especially because there has been little research on this subject. Moreover, general results pertaining to the role of personality in L2 are inconclusive. This book’s primary objective is to present a concise and updated picture of personality on the basis of the Big Five model, which is accessible for non-psychologists. The middle part of the book focuses on discussing potential merits and drawbacks of each trait for the purpose of the process of SLA, both from the formal and informal, theoretical and empirical points of view. The next part includes a description of an empirical study, whose main aim is to sensitize the reader to direct and indirect influences that personality may exert on L2 learning. The book closes with a concluding chapter aiming at clarifying directions for further empirical study of personality as well as issues in research methodology.
Big Gods: How Religion Transformed Cooperation and Conflict
by Ara NorenzayanHow did human societies scale up from tight-knit groups of hunter-gatherers to the large, anonymous, cooperative societies of today—even though anonymity is the enemy of cooperation? How did organized religions with "Big Gods"—the great monotheistic and polytheistic faiths—spread to colonize most minds in the world? In Big Gods, Ara Norenzayan makes the surprising argument that these fundamental puzzles about the origins of civilization answer each other.Sincere faith in watchful Big Gods unleashed unprecedented cooperation within ever-expanding groups, yet at the same time it introduced a new source of potential conflict between competing groups. And in some parts of the world, societies with atheist majorities—some of the most cooperative and prosperous in the world—have climbed religion's ladder, and then kicked it away.Big Gods answers fundamental questions about the origins and spread of world religions and helps us understand the rise of cooperative societies without belief in gods.

Big Mind: How Collective Intelligence Can Change Our World
by Geoff MulganA new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale. This “bigger mind”—human and machine capabilities working together—has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results? Gathering insights from diverse fields, including philosophy, computer science, and biology, Big Mind reveals how collective intelligence can guide corporations, governments, universities, and societies to make the most of human brains and digital technologies.Geoff Mulgan explores how collective intelligence has to be consciously organized and orchestrated in order to harness its powers. He looks at recent experiments mobilizing millions of people to solve problems, and at groundbreaking technology like Google Maps and Dove satellites. He also considers why organizations full of smart people and machines can make foolish mistakes—from investment banks losing billions to intelligence agencies misjudging geopolitical events—and shows how to avoid them.Highlighting differences between environments that stimulate intelligence and those that blunt it, Mulgan shows how human and machine intelligence could solve challenges in business, climate change, democracy, and public health. But for that to happen we’ll need radically new professions, institutions, and ways of thinking.Informed by the latest work on data, web platforms, and artificial intelligence, Big Mind shows how collective intelligence could help us survive and thrive.

Bilanzen lesen und verstehen: Ein leichtes Lernprogramm
by Werner ZimmermannDas Lernprogramm "Bilanzen lesen und verstehen" ist der Grundkurs eines Manager Schulungsprogramms des Internationalen Arbeitsamtes. Das IAA ist verantwortlich für ein weltweites Programm der Manager-Ausbildung und -Schulung in etwa 35 Ländern der Erde. Die Kurse des IAA werden normalerweise gemeinsam mit den Schulungszentren der einzelnen Länder organisiert, bis diese Zentren in der Lage sind, selbständig weiterzuarbeiten. Es besteht wohl kein Zweifel darüber, daß viele Mißverständnisse zwischen Arbeit geber und Arbeitnehmer oder Gewerkschaften vermieden werden können, wenn beide Partner gleiches Wissen über das Rechnungswesen, über die Beurteilung und Interpretation der Wirtschaftszahlen ihres Unternehmens besitzen. Da die Bilanz das überall anerkannte und wichtigste Mittel zur Information der Interessenten über die wirtschaftliche und finanzielle Situation und zur Kontrolle und Führung des Unternehmens darstellt, ist das Lesen und Verstehen der Bilanz der natürliche Beginn jeder Manager-Ausbildung. Eine Bilanz lesen, verstehen und beurteilen zu können, ist aber nicht nur für einen Manager erforderlich sondern unbedingt auch für jeden Arbeitnehmer, insbesondere dann, wenn er als Betriebsrat, Mitglied des Wirtschaftsausschusses oder des Auf sichtsrats oder als Gewerkschaftler die Interessen seiner Kollegen vertreten muß. ln dem Maße, in dem das allgemeine Interesse an der industriellen und wirtschaft lichen Entwicklung eines Landes wächst, und je mehr die Mitwirkung und Mitbe stimmung der Arbeitnehmer in den Wirtschaftsbetrieben an Bedeutung gewinnt, umso größer wird die Notwendigkeit für jeden einzelnen, Bilanzen zu lesen und zu verstehen.

Bilderbücher im Kontext früher mathematischer Bildung: Eine Untersuchung zum Einsatz von Bilderbüchern im Kindergarten (Essener Beiträge zur Mathematikdidaktik)
by Anna VogtländerMathematisches Denken von Heranwachsenden entfaltet sich beginnend in der frühen Kindheit bis weit über die Grundschule hinaus. Für die Anregung mathematischen Denkens können Bilderbücher einen wichtigen Kontext bieten. Sie geben Kindern die Möglichkeit, mathematische Inhalte zu entdecken und zu erforschen, und können zu einer aktiven Auseinandersetzung mit mathematischen Fragestellungen motivieren. In einer explorativen Studie mit 117 Kindergartenkindern untersucht Anna Vogtländer in dialogischen Gruppenlesesitzungen, welche Facetten des inhaltsbezogenen mathematischen Denkens durch ausgewählte Bilderbücher angesprochen werden können. Die Erkenntnisse lassen insgesamt den Schluss zu, dass das dialogische Lesen von Bilderbüchern im Kontext der frühen mathematischen Bildung eine geeignete Aktivität im Rahmen eines integrativen Ansatzes darstellt.
