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 ...
Examining the components of fluid intelligence: implications for STEM education.
(ASEE, 2018)
Substantial empirical evidence illustrates the significance of spatial ability for STEM academic achievement. However, it is critical that research efforts continue to identify cognitive factors which are associated with ...
Investigating the factor structure of pupils attitudes towards technology.
(ASEE, 2016)
As STEM education becomes the focus of educational reforms in knowledge based economies, technological literacy is seen as a key outcome of many STEM related programmes. When considering technological literacy it is vital ...
A comparison of Swedish and Irish secondary students' conceptions of engineers and engineering using the draw-an-engineer test
(ASEE, 2019-06)
Women are significantly underrepresented in engineering and engineering related disciplines. One area where this is clearly illustrated is in the percentage of females enrolled in higher education engineering courses. The ...
