Independent reviewers at Instructure have validated Constructor Practice Science Labs as meeting the "Demonstrates a Rationale" standard under the Every Student Succeeds Act — confirming alignment with ESSA Level IV criteria and establishing a foundation for future evaluation studies examining how Science Labs relates to student learning outcomes.
Race lens: A machine intelligence-based application for racing photo analysis
This paper presents Race lens, a novel application utilizing advanced deep learning and computer vision models for comprehensive analysis of racing photos.
SoccerNet 2022 challenges results
The SoccerNet 2022 challenges were the second annual video understanding challenges organized by the SoccerNet team.
Simultaneous perturbation method for multi-task weight optimization in one-shot meta-learning
In this paper we investigate the modification of a standard meta-learning pipeline. The proposed method simultaneously utilizes information from several meta-training tasks in a common loss function.
Efficacy of a computer-based learning program in children with developmental dyscalculia. What influences individual responsiveness?
This study used Calcularis 2.0 with additional training forms. It found that the subjects improved their arithmetic skills even more than with older versions of Calcularis.
Significant percentile improvements for children after Calcularis training
The above-listed publications cite the raw value and z-value improvements of the study participants, which is common for international publications.
Effects of Calcularis training | part 2: changes in psychosocial characteristics (Effekte des Calcularis-Trainings | Teil 2: Veränderungen psychosozialer Merkmale)
Continuing on from Part 1, which appeared in the same publication, this study looked at the influence of Calcularis on mental irregularities, maths performance anxiety and the children’s own perception of their skills.
Effects of Calcularis training | part 1: domain-specific changes (Effekte des Calcularis-Trainings | Teil 1: Domänen-spezifische Veränderungen)
The first ever Constructor-related study investigated whether Constructor's visual and auditory training was fundamentally capable of promoting better spelling skills in children both with and without dyslexia.
Evaluation of a computer-based training program for enhancing arithmetic skills and spatial number representation in primary school children
The authors of this study instructed one third of the participants to practise with Calcularis and another third to practise with Orthograph (the training control group).
Calcularis – evaluation of a computer based learning program for enhancing numerical cognition for children with developmental dyscalculia
The goal of this study was to determine whether Calcularis was also capable of helping younger students improve the numeracy skills in which they showed the greatest need for support. In addition, the study investigated whether the children’s anxiety about maths could be reduced by the training.
