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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Unpacking decision making in comparative judgement: a stimulated think-aloud methodology to gain insight into young peoples' decision making
(Association for Educational Assessment – Europe, 2022-11-09)
While reliability has been the subject of much Comparative Judgement (CJ) research,
understanding its validity, which and relates directly to the included judges and their decision making, is paramount. Understanding ...
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 ...
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 ...
Editorial: current perspectives on the value, teaching,learning, and assessment of design in STEM education
(Frontiers, 2023-08-01)
Despite the value that design methodologies have as a vehicle for learning science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related subject matter, their integration
into STEM curricula remains a burgeoning ...
