Examining the components of fluid intelligence: implications for STEM education.
(ASEE, 2018)
Substantial empirical evidence illustrates the significance of spatial ability for STEM academic achievement. However, it is critical that research efforts continue to identify cognitive factors which are associated with ...
Assessing design activity in engineering education: a proposed synthesis of adaptive comparative judgement and the CDIO Framework.
(ASEE, 2018)
One of the leading frameworks in engineering education specifically associated with design based competencies is the CDIO framework. This has been incorporated internationally into many institutions offering engineering ...
Integrating assessment and design activity in engineering education: a proposed synthesis of adaptive comparative judgement and the CDIO framework
(ASEE, 2018)
One of the leading frameworks in engineering education specifically associated with design based competencies is the CDIO framework. This has been incorporated internationally into many institutions offering engineering ...
A heuristic framework of spatial ability: a review and synthesis of spatial factor literature to support its translation into STEM education.
(Springer, 2018)
An abundance of empirical evidence exists identifying a significant correlation
between spatial ability and educational performance particularly in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM). Despite this ...
Spatial working memory in mental rotations: a case for exploring neural efficiency and cognitive strategies.
(ASEE, 2018)
Spatial ability, particularly the cognitive capacity for mental rotations, is a critical component of human cognition. Proficiency with mental rotation tasks is linked with education performance in various science, technology, ...
PATT36 International Conference
(Technology Education Research Group/Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018)
The 2018 conference theme, ‘Research and Practice in Technology Education: Perspectives on Human
Capacity and Development’ continues to maintain our focus on practice and ultimately enhancing the
quality and experience ...
Integrating learners into the assessment process using adaptive comparative judgement with an ipsative approach of identifying competence based gains relative to student ability levels.
(Springer, 2018)
Educational assessment has profound effects on the nature and depth of learning that students
engage in. Typically there are two core types discussed within the pertinent literature;
criterion and norm referenced assessment. ...
Spatial working memory and neural efficiency in mental rotations: an insight from pupillometry.
(ASEE, 2018-05)
Spatial ability, particularly the cognitive capacity for mental rotations, is a critical component of human cognition. Proficiency with mental rotation tasks is linked with educational performance in various Science, ...
On intelligence in technology education: towards redefining technological capability.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018)
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 ...
Heuristics and CAD modelling: an examination of student behaviour during problem solving episodes within CAD modelling activities.
(Springer, 2018)
Design activities typically involve and culminate in the creation of models
representative of new ideas and conceptions. The format is often dictated by the specific
discipline, with ideas in design and technology education ...
