Using Knowledgeable Agents of the Digital and data feminism to uncover social identities in the #blackgirlmagic Twitter community (Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens) Learning, Media and Technology (2022)

Online spaces have the capacity to be powerful informal learning and identity development spaces for marginalized communities. However, there is still much work to be done to uncover these complex social identities using ethical big ...

Connected design rationale: a model for measuring design learning using epistemic network analysis (Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens) Instructional Science (2021)

Virtual learning environments have the potential to support students’ development of design skills in engineering education. However, few approaches exist for modeling and measuring design learning as it emerges in authentic practices, which often includes ...

Examining Teacher Reflection in a Multimodal Composition about Identity (Hazel Vega and Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens) ISLS Proceedings (2021)

This study aimed to examine the reflection and development of a multimodal composition exploring the topic of professional identity formation in a teacher education program of teaching English as a Foreign language (EFL). Using a ...

Scoping the Emerging Field of Quantitative Ethnography: Opportunities, Challenges and Future Directions (Rogers Kaliisa, Kamila Misiejuk, Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, et al.) Advances in Quantitative Ethnography (2021)

Quantitative Ethnography (QE) is an emerging methodological approach that combines ethnographic and statistical tools to analyze both Big Data and smaller data to study human behavior and interactions. This paper presents a methodological scoping review ...

Data literacies and social justice: Exploring critical data literacies through sociocultural perspectives (Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, Simon Knight, Alyssa Friend Wise, et al.) ISLS Proceedings (2020)

The ability to interpret, evaluate, and make data-based decisions is critical in the age of big data. Normative scripts around the use of data position them as a privileged epistemic form conferring authority through objectivity ...

Identity Negotiation of Pre-service Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (Hazel Vega and Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens) ISLS Proceedings (2020)

The study of teacher identity has gained prominence in English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching. However, the construction of EFL teacher identity is underresearched, particularly how teachers navigate dominant discourses around native non-native speakers. ...

Students’ Epistemic Connections Between Science Inquiry Practices and Disciplinary Ideas in a Computational Science Unit (Sugat Dabholkar, Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, Michael Horn, et al.) ISLS Proceedings (2020)

Teaching science inquiry practices, especially the more contemporary ones, such as computational thinking practices, requires designing newer learning environments and appropriate pedagogical scaffolds. Using such learning environments, when students construct knowledge about disciplinary ideas using ...

“Would You Rather Have it be Accurate or Diverse?” How Male Middle-School Students Make Sense of Algorithm Bias (Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens and JaCoya Thompson) ISLS Proceedings (2020)

As data-driven decisions become more ubiquitous, it will be critical for youth to understand the impacts of algorithm bias. In this study, we discuss the design of an extra-curricular data science program and examined how ...

Modeling and Measuring Students' Computational Thinking Practices in Science (Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, Sugat Dabolkar, Connor Bain, et al.) Journal of Science Education and Technology (2019)

In recent decades, computational tools and methods have become pervasive in mathematical and scientific fields (National Research Council, 2010a). Tools such as mathematical and statistical models have expanded the range of phenomena that are explored ...

In Search of Conversational Grain Size: Modelling Semantic Structure Using Moving Stanza Windows (Amanda L. Siebert-Evenstone, Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, Wesley Collier, et al.) Journal of Learning Analytics (2017)

Analyses of learning based on student discourse need to account not only for the content of the utterances but also for the ways in which students make connections across turns of talk. This requires segmentation ...

Influence of End Customer Exposure on Product Design within an Epistemic Game Environment (Matthew R. Markovetz, Renee M. Clark, Zachari Swiecki, et al.) Advances in Engineering Education (2017)

Engineering product design requires both technical aptitude and an understanding of the non-technical requirements in the marketplace, economic or otherwise. Engineering education has long focused on the technical side of product design, but there is ...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Shah's Innovation Metrics for Measuring Innovative Design within a Virtual Design Space (Abigail Jane Kulhanek, Matthew Raymond Markovetz, Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, et al.) 2017 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition (2017)

Epistemic games, such as the virtual engineering internship Nephrotex, allow students to explore creative ways to approaching engineering problems while providing a novel alternative to the direct transmission method of instruction. Within Nephrotex, students choose ...

A Grounded Qualitative Analysis of the Effect of a Focus Group on Design Process in a Virtual Internship (Matthew R. Markovetz, Sean Sullivan, Renee M. Clark, et al.) International Journal of Engineering Education (2017)

A key component associated with the development of an entrepreneurial mindset is the ability to understand customerneeds and consider this when developing a product. This study sought to understand whether the inclusion of a customerfocus ...

Data‐enabled cognitive modeling: Validating student engineers’ fuzzy design‐based decision‐making in a virtual design problem (Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens, Naomi C. Chesler, Jeffrey Linderoth, et al.) Computer Applications in Engineering Education (2017)

The ability of future engineering professionals to solve complex real‐world problems depends on their design education and training. Because engineers engage with open‐ended problems in which there are unknown parameters and multiple competing objectives, they ...
