The importance of spatial ability within technology education
(Springer, 2022-01-01)
Understanding the factors that impact learners with respect to their academic achievement is critical for enhancing educational provision, and the nature of these factors can vary widely. They could be, for example, ...
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 ...
MIND strengths: the unique cognitive architecture of engineering and technology students.
(IMC, 2016)
Engineering and technology education is uniquely positioned within formal education systems to facilitate the development of a broad range of cognitive competencies such as designerly thinking, spatial reasoning and ...
Identifying, developing and grading 'soft skills' in design and technology education: a methodological approach.
(ASEE, 2016)
Abstract
Soft skills (Professional skills) complement hard skills to enhance an individual's relationships, job performance and career prospects. Strategically targeting the development of these skills requires the ...
Is there a correlation between ICT integration levels and learning organisation maturity.
(EDEN: European Distance and E-Learning Network, 2014)
This study is set in an era when higher education institutions, similar to private business organisations are required to adapt and change at an increasingly frenetic rate to ever more intrusive environmental stimuli which ...
An investigation into problem solving approaches adopted during graphical reasoning episodes.
(PATT2016, 2016-08)
A core aim of contemporary design and technology education is the development of transferable and
robust problem solving skills. Graphical education is a critical component in achieving this aim as
it espouses to enhance ...
The validity and reliability of online testing for the assessment of spatial ability.
(ASEE, 2016-10)
The assessment of spatial skills offers significant insight into cognitive capacities associated
with disciplines such as graphics, engineering and design. The operationalization of this
assessment is typically seen in ...
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. ...
Theorizing the role of engineering for society: technological activity in context?
(ASEE, 2019-06)
This paper establishes a theoretical position from which to analyse and reason about the
difficulties associated with closing the gap between the provision of engineering education in
universities and the needs of society. ...
Differences in perceived stress levels and measured stress while solving spatial tests
