Review: Design Epistemology and Curriculum Planning.
(Design and Technology Education, 2018-03)
This fascinating book sets out to explore design epistemology in the context of curriculum
planning and is a response to the Expert Panel which considered the future of Design and
Technology (D&T) in the English National ...
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 ...
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, ...
Adaptive comparative judgement: a mechanism to enrich and enhance assessment practices to support teaching and learning.
(2017)
One of the most fundamental and challenging aspects of pedagogical practices is assessment
of student learning. Assessment mechanisms are adopted in response to a variety of agendas,
such as providing a summative ‘grade’ ...
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 ...
An assessment of the transparency of contemporary technology education research employing interview-based methodologies
(Springer, 2021-08-20)
A high level of transparency in reported research is critical for several reasons, such as
ensuring an acceptable level of trustworthiness and enabling replication. Transparency in
qualitative research permits the ...
PATT36 International Conference
(Technology Education Research Group/Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018)
The 2018 conference theme, ‘Research and Practice in Technology Education: Perspectives on Human
Capacity and Development’ continues to maintain our focus on practice and ultimately enhancing the
quality and experience ...
Integrating learners into the assessment process using adaptive comparative judgement with an ipsative approach of identifying competence based gains relative to student ability levels.
(Springer, 2018)
Educational assessment has profound effects on the nature and depth of learning that students
engage in. Typically there are two core types discussed within the pertinent literature;
criterion and norm referenced assessment. ...
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 ...
