Visualization, inductive reasoning, and memory span as components of fluid intelligence: implications for technology education.
(Elsevier, 2018)
The philosophy and epistemology of technology education are relatively unique as the subject largely focusses on acquiring task specific relevant knowledge rather than having an explicit epistemological discipline boundary. ...
The importance of supporting technological knowledge in post-primary education: a cohort study.
(Routledge, 2019)
ABSTRACT
Background: Substantial research highlights the differences between
scientific and technological knowledge. Considering that learning is
heavily focused on the acquisition of knowledge, it is important to
examine ...
Spatial cognition in engineering education: developing a spatial ability framework to support the translation of theory into practice.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2019)
A substantial degree of empirical evidence has illustrated the correlation between spatial skills and performance in engineering education. This evidence has been foundational in the construction of educational interventions ...
Spatial working memory and neural efficiency in mental rotations: an insight from pupillometry.
(ASEE, 2018-05)
Spatial ability, particularly the cognitive capacity for mental rotations, is a critical component of human cognition. Proficiency with mental rotation tasks is linked with educational performance in various Science, ...
An exploratory analysis into the relationships between spatial factors, domain-free general capacities and general fluid intelligence.
(ASEE, 2017)
The inception of psychometric research concerning individual differences in cognition was grounded in explaining and enhancing performance in education (Spearman, 1904). This work established the construct of a single ...
Illustrating educational development through ipsative performance in design based education.
(ASEE, 2017)
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 ...
A proposed research agenda for investigating the nature of designerly thinking in action.
(ASEE, 2017)
The intent of this paper is to discuss the nature of Design and Technology (D&T) education and arising from that the potential contribution of cognitive psychology to further understanding of designerly thinking in action. ...
Assessing design activity in engineering education: a proposed synthesis of adaptive comparative judgement and the CDIO Framework.
(ASEE, 2018)
One of the leading frameworks in engineering education specifically associated with design based competencies is the CDIO framework. This has been incorporated internationally into many institutions offering engineering ...
Spatial working memory in mental rotations: a case for exploring neural efficiency and cognitive strategies.
(ASEE, 2018)
Spatial ability, particularly the cognitive capacity for mental rotations, is a critical component of human cognition. Proficiency with mental rotation tasks is linked with education performance in various science, technology, ...
On intelligence in technology education: towards redefining technological capability.
(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 ...
