This study aimed to assess the impact of Mathbot, an AI-powered educational tool, on fraction comprehension and situational interest among 4th to 5th-grade students with mathematical learning challenges. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research compared two groups: one that used Mathbot and another that followed a traditional business-as-usual (BAU) teaching approach. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were used to measure changes …
Graduate Thesis and DissertationSince the dawn of computing, all practical computing systems, from small laptops and cellphones to large mainframes and supercomputers, have been based on the Von Neumann architecture. In this architectural model, computing units and storage units are physically separated, requiring the computing system to spend most of its time and energy on moving data around. As many recently developed applications …
Graduate Thesis and DissertationGray snapper (Lutjanus griseus) is a common reef fish inhabiting the western Atlantic Ocean. In estuaries of the Southeastern United States, such as Mosquito Lagoon (ML), Florida, oyster reefs, seagrass, and mangrove shorelines are vital nurseries, also known as essential fish habitat (EFH), for juvenile and sub-adult fish. However, EFH in Mosquito Lagoon has declined from historic levels. To mitigate …
Graduate Thesis and DissertationMovements in the frontal plane, such as accelerations, cutting, and kicking, are common in soccer. This abstract examines the relationship between isometric strength testing of hip adductors and abductors and athletic performance in soccer. We focus on three key studies. The first study evaluates the test-retest reliability of handheld dynamometry in measuring isometric strength of hip adductors and abductors across …
