The predictive capacity of spatial ability for knowledge retention in third level technology and engineering education.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
It is well established that spatial ability correlates with STEM performance. THis has been shown through substantial longitudinal evidence e.g. (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). Specifically, it has been demonstrated as ...
A comparison of Swedish and Irish secondary students' conceptions of engineers and engineering using the draw-an-engineer test
(ASEE, 2019-06)
Women are significantly underrepresented in engineering and engineering related disciplines. One area where this is clearly illustrated is in the percentage of females enrolled in higher education engineering courses. The ...
The importance of supporting technological knowledge in post-primary education: a cohort study.
(Routledge, 2019)
ABSTRACT
Background: Substantial research highlights the differences between
scientific and technological knowledge. Considering that learning is
heavily focused on the acquisition of knowledge, it is important to
examine ...
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 ...
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 ...
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)
