Conversely, students in classrooms today are spending the majority of their time working together in one of many different types of student grouping arrangements. The assignment of students to different groups is typically driven by data representing students’ ability levels, with the exact method of data utilization varying depending on the type of grouping arrangement that is desired by the educator (i.e. ranked ability, mixed ability, etc.). Determining the grouping assignments based on those ability levels, which should be derived from multiple types of student data, can be a time-consuming task. Additionally, when combining that data analysis with the multitude of potential classroom grouping constraints (separating students, limiting groups by gender, special needs, etc.), the student grouping task can become exceptionally arduous. This research project provides a solution to the difficulties that educators face when trying to create optimal student groups for specific grouping arrangements. A working optimization model was developed to provide educators with a useful tool for addressing their changing needs. In order to maximize accessibility and minimize cost to educators, the model was created in Microsoft Excel with a free open-source add-in called OpenSolver. By implementing this model, educators can enhance the classroom learning experience more easily through accurate and timely determination of optimal student grouping assignments.Link to award article: http://business.uc.edu/news/centers/analytics/2014/mar/ms-business-analytics-competition-winner.html Show less
