Multidisciplinary teaching: the emergence of an holistic STEM teacher.
(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 ...
Balancing curriculum intent with expected student responses to designerly tasks.
(Design and Technology Education: An International Journal., 2018-02)
Design activities form an extensive part of design and technology education with a link being
posited within the pertinent literature between the cognitive activity of learning and the
cognitive activity of design. It ...
Integrating assessment and 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 ...
Framing spatial cognition: establishing a research agenda.
(ASEE, 2016-01)
A significant aim of research concerning human intelligence is to develop a comprehensive
cognitive map of the human intelligence structure. The evolution of this knowledge base is
mirrored through the chronological ...
An exploratory study into the cognitive and behavioural influences on problem solving performance.
(University of Limerick, 2016-09)
It is widely accepted that spatial cognition plays a critical role in STEM
educational success. However, while this relationship has shown to relate to
educational factors such as success and retention, it does not offer ...
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’, ...
Digital badges for initial technology teacher education: a method for grading explicit soft skills.
(Irish Learning Technology Association, 2015-05)
Soft skills encompass personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits,
friendliness, and optimism that characterise one's relationships with other people. Soft skills
complement hard skills, ...
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, ...
A heuristic framework of spatial ability: a review and synthesis of spatial factor literature to support its translation into STEM education.
(Springer, 2018)
An abundance of empirical evidence exists identifying a significant correlation
between spatial ability and educational performance particularly in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM). Despite this ...
Technology mediated assessment of dynamic spatial ability.
(University of Limerick, 2016-09)
The role of spatial ability in STEM educational performance has been
substantially illustrated since the inception of this research agenda. However,
studies which have identified this relationship typically do so using ...
