A preliminary model of problem categorisation to explore the cognitive abilities required for problem solving in engineering education.
(TERG, 2018-06)
The provision of engineering education as a means of enabling students to develop contemporary
transversal competencies such as problem solving, critical thinking, adaptive reasoning and
communication, places a responsibility ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Arbeta med komparativ bedömning (Working with comparative assessment).
(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 ...
Investigating the relationships between spatial ability, interest, and task experience on knowledge retention in engineering education.
(TERG, 2018-06)
Spatial ability has been established as having a significant effect on performance and subsequently on
retention in engineering education. However, the cause for this phenomenon is not yet fully understood.
Based on ...
Heuristics and CAD modelling: an examination of student behaviour during problem solving episodes within CAD modelling activities.
(Springer, 2018)
Design activities typically involve and culminate in the creation of models
representative of new ideas and conceptions. The format is often dictated by the specific
discipline, with ideas in design and technology education ...
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. ...
Investigating the role of spatial ability as a factor of human intelligence in technology education: towards a casual theory of the relationship between spatial ability and STEM education.
(KTH Royal Institute of Technology., 2018)
Education is a particularly complex discipline due to the numerous variables which impact on teaching and learning. Due to the large effect of human intelligence on the variance in student educational achievement, there ...
