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 ...
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. ...
Developing a spatial ability framework to support spatial ability research in engineering education.
(REES, 2015-08)
The association between high levels of spatial cognition and success
in a number of engineering and technological fields is widely acknowledged
within the pertinent literature. There is a now a need for further investigation ...
Curriculum development in technology teacher education: integrating epistemology, pedagogy and capability.
(PATT, 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 ...
Workshop: Introduction to adaptive comparative judgement: a holistic assessment for design problems
(ASEE, 2022-06-26)
This workshop is an interactive session where participants will experience an exciting approach for holistically assessing design problems, Adaptive Comparative Judgement (ACJ). ACJ is an adaptive software tool that can ...
Examining the relationship between spatial ability and cognitive load during complex problem solving
(PATT, 2022-06-21)
Spatial ability is documented as a predictor of success in STEM disciplines and noted to contribute
to individuals problem-solving approaches. While there is a significant body of correlational
evidence indicating that ...
The impact of country of schooling and gender on secondary students' conceptions of and interest in becoming an engineer in Ireland, Kenya and Sweden.
(Springer, 2023-04-13)
Background
Given the disparities in gender representation, efforts are needed to make engineering education more inclusive and attractive to young people. It is important that those entering engineering education are ...
Subject(s) matter: a grounded theory of technology teachers' conceptions of the purpose of teaching technology
(Springer, 2023-10-21)
Technology education internationally has for some time struggled to achieve continuity between what is depicted in policy and curricular documents and the reality of day-to-day practices. With its focus often articulated ...
