The project was based from other studies as well as Bem's Gender Schema Theory. The participants included in this project were from the ages of 16–19 years old in Grades 11 and 12. The researchers used the brain training app Peak to be able to measure each participant's capacity for both visuospatial and verbal memory. After measuring the scores and determining the mean for each gender, there seemed to be no significant advantage found by either gender in both male and females, contrary to most found results from other studies. While the female participants tested did have a better mean score than males on both memory tests, the difference found was not significant enough based on the results of the both two sample z-tests, with the results being −0.43 for visuospatial and 1.63 for verbal, which did not meet the required z-score of 1.645 to reject the null hypothesis. Given the opportunity to have access to more resources and time, the researchers plan to continue the study to include other testing methods and not limited to brain training apps in order to come up with more conclusive findings.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127947057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total population of sixty-three participants was surveyed and randomly sampled from the Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Strand of a private school for boys in the Philippines. The researchers gathered data using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse et al., 1989) that assesses the sleep quality of an individual through several components that produce a score ranging from 0–21 with a score of five and below indicating good sleep quality. Athletes obtained a mean score of 7.42 while non-athletes showed a mean score of 7.91. Based on the limited data gathered, it was concluded that both STEM student athletes and non-athletes do not receive good sleep quality despite the physical activity engaged by athletes. Furthermore, using the statistical test: Z Test for two sample means, the researchers concluded that there was no significant difference in the sleep quality of student athletes and non-athletes. The study tends to suggest that changes to students' lifestyles need to be considered to obtain a satisfactory performance in school work. The researchers recommend that other factors affecting a person's sleep quality be considered.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124158586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gokhale","doi":"10.1109/ISECON.2018.8340462","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISECON.2018.8340462","url":null,"abstract":"Most undergraduate computing students have limited professional software development experience due to which they lack the motivation to study software engineering, which is a mandatory course in their curricula. To compensate for this inherent lack of motivation, instructors of introductory software engineering courses continually devise novel strategies to enhance the appeal of SE education. These strategies seek to tie key SE concepts to industrial practices as well as students' real-life experiences. This paper presents one such approach; it leverages the prevailing reality that most computing students are now avid users of software technology. The approach consists of developing “focused questions”, where each question pertains to a specific SE concept, technique, or a best practice. Students are then asked to find evidence that illustrates this concept from their everyday encounters with technology. This paper analyzes the students' responses from two such focused questions. The analysis finds the students' responses to be thoughtful, broad, diverse, well rationalized, nuanced and deeply anchored in their own personal experiences. Moreover, the responses also highlight the students' knowledge and awareness of how software is now an integral part of the social and cultural landscape. Finally, anecdotal comments written by the students while reviewing the course at the end of the semester indicate that the students received this focused question approach in a positive light. They view it as a way to bring realism into the classroom, to keep them engaged and to encourage class participation.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128180303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
