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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Spatial cognition in engineering education: developing a spatial ability framework to support the translation of theory into practice.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2019)
A substantial degree of empirical evidence has illustrated the correlation between spatial skills and performance in engineering education. This evidence has been foundational in the construction of educational interventions ...
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 ...
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 ...
Visualizing success: investigating the relationship between ability and self-efficacy in the domain of visual processing.
(ASEE, 2016-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial reasoning capacities and related selfefficacy
beliefs of student teachers. In recent years self-efficacy has been a focal point for those
investigating various modes ...
Blending immersive and educational technologies to inform sustainability and diversification of workforce training through machine interface learning using sterilization technologies as model - quo vadis?
(2019-06)
The healthcare products market is a diverse market supplying critical care products ranging from pharmaceutical products to biologics to medical devices. The regulation and best practices associated with the manufacture ...
Illustrating educational development through ipsative performance in design based education.
(ASEE, 2017)
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 ...
