Elementary School Children’s Understanding of Experimental Error

Understanding data variability and potential error sources is essential to a full understanding of experimental science. We propose a typology of error that considers not only the nature of the error, but also the phase in the experiment in which it occurs. We looked at secondand fourth-grade children’s understanding of error, their use of evidence in guiding this understanding, and the role of...

Elementary $L^\infty$ error estimates for super-resolution de-noising

This paper studies the problem of recovering a discrete complex measure on the torus from a finite number of corrupted Fourier samples. We assume the support of the unknown discrete measure satisfies a minimum separation condition and we use convex regularization methods to recover approximations of the original measure. We focus on two well-known convex regularization methods, and for both, we...

Error Matters: An Initial Exploration of Elementary School Children’s Understanding of Experimental Error

Error is a pervasive and inescapable aspect of empirical science, and it often plays a causal role in experimental outcomes. But little is known about children’s understanding of the causes and consequences of experimental error. In this article, we propose a new framework for characterizing experimental error and we use that framework to guide an empirical assessment of elementary school child...
