Developing a methodological approach to measure cognitive load during complex problem solving.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
Problem solving is an important element of engineering and technology disciplines and spatial
ability contributes to learners’ success in problem solving in these areas (Wai, et al., 2009). As
excessive cognitive load ...
The predictive capacity of spatial ability for knowledge retention in third level technology and engineering education.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
It is well established that spatial ability correlates with STEM performance. THis has been shown through substantial longitudinal evidence e.g. (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). Specifically, it has been demonstrated as ...
Inducting ITE students in assessment practices through the use of comparative judgement.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
A new curricular framework, presented by the Department of Education and Skills (DES), (2015), implements an assessment strategy that has changed from a predominantly summative to a more formative integrated approach. With ...
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 ...
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 ...
Curriculum development in technology teacher education: integrating epistemology, pedagogy and capability.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019)
Technology education continues to establish itself internationally as a primary contributor to a broad and balanced curriculum that prepares students for the technological age that we are living in. It is critical that ...
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 ...
Implicit theories of intelligence in STEM education: perspectives through the lens of technology education students.
(Springer, 2019)
The educational significance of eliciting students’ implicit theories of intelligence
is well established with the majority of this work focussing on theories regarding
entity and incremental beliefs. However, a second ...
Investigating the use of spatial reasoning strategies in geometric problem solving.
(Springer, 2019)
A core aim of contemporary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) education is the development of robust problem-solving skills. This can be
achieved by fostering both discipline knowledge expertise and ...
