On the role of industry contact on the motivation and professional development of engineering students.
(Frontiers in Education, 2019-10)
This full research paper aims to investigate the nature of industry-related activities engineering students encounter at a Swedish university, as well as the impact these activities have on their motivation to study ...
Framing the constructive alignment of design within technology subjects in general education.
(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 need to consider the predictive capacity of intelligence and its malleability within design and technology education research.
(Springer, 2020-05-14)
General intelligence is a fundamental human capacity with significant educational implications.
However, it is often not considered in educational research despite substantial
evidence illustrating its association with ...
Engineering education research methods to determine conceptions of engineers and of engineering.
(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’, ...
The potential bifurcation of static and dynamic spatial cognitive processes.
(ASEE, 2016-10)
Considering the widely acknowledged correlation between spatial ability and graphics based
education, it is important to uncover the full remit of this association to inform pedagogical
practices within the discipline. ...
The importance and usefulness of comparative judgement for education assessment.
(ResearchED, 2019-02)
While comparative judgement has now been around for a number of years, it continues to be used in a variety of new ways and across multiple subjects. Jeffrey has specific experience using comparative judgement in design ...
Ability levels, implicit theories of intelligence, cognitive load, and fluid intelligence: an exploration into the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education.
(ResearchED, 2018-03-10)
Decades of empirical evidence demonstrates the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education.
However, a causal relationship is yet to be confirmed. This talk will present empirical data concerning
this relationship ...
An exploration into the criteria used in assessing design activities with adaptive comparative judgment in technology education.
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08)
The use of design assignments for teaching, learning, and assessment is considered a signature of technology education. However, there are difficulties in the valid and reliable assessment of features of quality within ...
Investigating the role of visualisation in complex problem-solving across expertise in engineering education
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Spatial ability is proposed to play an important role in problem solving and may contribute to supporting engineering students in solving complex problems.
Hambrick, et al., in the context of geology, determined individuals ...
A novel mixed methods approach to synthesize EDA data with behavioral data to gain educational insight
(MDPI, 2020-11-30)
Whilst investigating student performance in design and arithmetic tasks, as well as during
exams, electrodermal activity (EDA)-based sensors have been used in attempts to understand
cognitive function and cognitive load. ...
