The Triangulation Algorithmic: A Transformative Function for Designing and Deploying Effective Educational Technology Assessment Instruments
Osler, James Edward
Journal of Educational Technology, v10 n1 p46-54 Apr-Jun 2013
This paper discusses the implementation of the Tri-Squared Test as an advanced statistical measure used to verify and validate the research outcomes of Educational Technology software. A mathematical and epistemological rational is provided for the transformative process of qualitative data into quantitative outcomes through the Tri-Squared Test as an efficient technique for the rapid testing of software applications designed for the educational setting. The design of fixed-parameter algorithms for software engineering problems can prove to be beneficial to the Educational Technologist who has to efficiently and rapidly evaluate a software tool for deployment. This novel methodology provides elegance and has a wide range of applicability to practically address important and relevant problems in the "trial and error" process of application evaluation. This research is the continuation of a dynamic mixed methods approach that is a transformative process which changes qualitative data into quantitative outcomes through the Tri-Squared statistical measure first introduced in i-manager's "Journal of Mathematics."
