Hartell, Eva; Buckley, Jeffrey; Gumaelius, Lena; Doyle, Andrew; Seery, Niall (Skola och Samhälle, 2018-04-26)Comparative assessment has been found to provide high reliability when evaluating open data and has received a lot of positive attention in, for example, Ireland, the UK, the US and Belgium. There are so far quite a few ... -
Engineering education research methods to determine conceptions of engineers and of engineering.
Buckley, Jeffrey; Hyland, Tomás; Gumaelius, Lena; Seery, Niall; Pears, Arnold (EERN, 2019-05)Engineering education research has been categorised into the five research areas of ‘engineering epistemologies’, ‘engineering learning mechanisms’, ‘engineering learning systems’, engineering diversity and inclusiveness’, ... -
Engineering students' perceptions of the role of work industry-related activities on their motivation for studying and learning in higher education
Pantzos, Panagiotis; Gumaelius, Lena; Buckley, Jeffrey; Pears, Arnold (Taylor & Francis, 2022-06-29)A number of key graduate outcomes related to industry-based interventions and work-industry-related activities (WIA’s) are specified by the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance for all Engineering Degree Programmes. A ... -
Exploring the prototypical definitions of intelligent engineers held by Irish and Swedish higher education engineering students
Buckley, Jeffrey; Hyland, Tomás; Gumaelius, Lena; Seery, Niall; Pears, Arnold (SAGE, 2021-03-12)Males are generally overrepresented in higher education engineering. However, the magnitude of this variance differs between countries and engineering fields. Evidence associated with the field-specific ability beliefs ... -
Framing the constructive alignment of design within technology subjects in general education.
Buckley, Jeffrey; Seery, Niall; Gumaelius, Lena; Canty, Donal; Doyle, Andrew; Pears, Arnold (Springer, 2020-05-27)Design is core element of general technology education internationally. While there is a degree of contention with regards to its treatment, there is general consensus that the inclusion of design in some form is important, ... -
The impact of country of schooling and gender on secondary students' conceptions of and interest in becoming an engineer in Ireland, Kenya and Sweden.
Buckley, Jeffrey; Gumaelius, Lena; Nyangweso, Mercy; Hyland, Tómas; Seery, Niall; Pears, Arnold (Springer, 2023-04-13)Background Given the disparities in gender representation, efforts are needed to make engineering education more inclusive and attractive to young people. It is important that those entering engineering education are ... -
The importance of spatial ability within technology education
Buckley, Jeffrey; Seery, Niall; Canty, Donal; Gumaelius, Lena (Springer, 2022-01-01)Understanding the factors that impact learners with respect to their academic achievement is critical for enhancing educational provision, and the nature of these factors can vary widely. They could be, for example, ... -
Investigating perceptions of intelligence as an approach to understanding female representation in technology and engineering education.
Buckley, Jeffrey; Hyland, Tomás; Seery, Niall; Gumaelius, Lena; Pears, Arnold (TERG, 2019-06)Gender representation in technology and engineering education is generally not equitable with females being underrepresented in many areas (e.g. Sultan, Axell, & Hallström, 2018; Yoder, 2017). While there are many perspectives ... -
Multidisciplinary teaching: the emergence of an holistic STEM teacher.
Seery, Niall; Gumaelius, Lena; Pears, Arnold (IEEE Xplore, 2018-03-07)This full research paper approaches the teaching of STEM from a new multi-disciplinary perspective. While the importance of the STEM agenda is not in dispute, the plurality in treatment of STEM as individual subjects or ... -
On intelligence in technology education: towards redefining technological capability.
Buckley, Jeffrey; Seery, Niall; Canty, Donal; Gumaelius, Lena; Phelan, Joseph (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018)The Technology subject in general post-primary education is unique based on its conception and treatment of knowledge. The task specific utility of knowledge is emphasised and at the same time, in reflection of the breadth ... -
