Investigating perceptions of intelligence as an approach to understanding female representation in technology and engineering education.
(TERG, 2019-06)
Gender representation in technology and engineering education is generally not equitable with females being underrepresented in many areas (e.g. Sultan, Axell, & Hallström, 2018; Yoder, 2017). While there are many perspectives ...
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 ...
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’, ...
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 ...
The validity and reliability of adaptive comparative judgements in the assessment of graphical capability.
(ASEE, 2016-10)
The valid and reliable assessment of capability is of paramount importance in education.
Operationalizing assessment practices of divergent problems can be particularly challenging due
to the variety of potential responses. ...
The potential bifurcation of static and dynamic spatial cognitive processes.
(ASEE, 2016-10)
Considering the widely acknowledged correlation between spatial ability and graphics based
education, it is important to uncover the full remit of this association to inform pedagogical
practices within the discipline. ...
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 ...
The importance and usefulness of comparative judgement for education assessment.
(ResearchED, 2019-02)
While comparative judgement has now been around for a number of years, it continues to be used in a variety of new ways and across multiple subjects. Jeffrey has specific experience using comparative judgement in design ...
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 ...
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 ...
