John Pane (Ph.D., Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University) is a senior scientist in RAND’s Education division. Dr. Pane is an experienced researcher of the implementation and effectiveness of educational innovations, with a focus on education technology and math and science initiatives. He is principal investigator of two random-assignment experiments testing technology-based mathematics curricula in schools. Dr. Pane has also led evaluations of a NSF Math and Science Partnership and a school district’s one-to-one laptop initiative, and investigated data-driven decisionmaking practices in education and the effects of the 2005 hurricanes on public school students in Louisiana. Dr. Pane’s expertise includes the application of experimental and rigorous quasi-experimental methods in education settings, assessing the impact of new technologies on individuals and organizations, human-computer interaction, and computer interface design. Sponsors of Dr. Pane’s research have included the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. Army, the Heinz Endowments, and the Grable, Pittsburgh, and Benedum Foundations.

Pane, John F., Ratanamahatana, Chotirat and Myers, Brad A. (2001): Studying the Language and Structure in Non-Programmers' Solutions to Programming Problems. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 54 (2) pp. 237-264.

Programming may be more difficult than necessary because it requires solutions to be expressed in ways that are not familiar or natural for beginners. To identify what is natural, this article examines the ways that non-programmers express solutions to problems that were chosen to be representative of common programming tasks. The vocabulary and structure in these solutions is compared with the vocabulary and structure in modern programming languages, to identify the features and paradigms that seem to match these natural tendencies as well as those that do not. This information can be used by the designers of future programming languages to guide the selection and generation of language features. This design technique can result in languages that are easier to learn and use, because the languages will better match beginners' existing problem-solving abilities.

Pane, John F., Corbett, Albert T. and John, Bonnie E. (1996): Assessing Dynamics in Computer-Based Instruction. In: Tauber, Michael J., Bellotti, Victoria, Jeffries, Robin, Mackinlay, Jock D. and Nielsen, Jakob (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 96 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 14-18, 1996, Vancouver, Canada. pp. 197-204.

We present an evaluation of a multimedia educational software system that includes text, graphics, animations, and simulations. When compared with an informationally equivalent control environment that used text and carefully selected still images, we found little evidence that the dynamic presentations enhanced student understanding of the declarative information in this lesson. Furthermore, students cannot be relied on to take full advantage of exploratory opportunities in computer-based instruction. These results prescribe further investigation of whether and how computer-based multimedia can be used effectively in education and training.
