An evaluation of the efficacy of a contemporary engineering education framework
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The research aims to determine the role of cognitive abilities in problem solving in engineering education. The investigation of these abilities will contribute to a key objective of the research, informing curricular ...
Investigating the effect of engineering student's spatial ability and expertise on general complex problem solving
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2021-04-26)
Spatial ability is attributed to success in STEM disciplines and is outlined as a component of general cognitive ability through the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model of human intelligence. Research in spatially orientated ...
An assessment of the transparency of contemporary technology education research employing interview-based methodologies
(Springer, 2021-08-20)
A high level of transparency in reported research is critical for several reasons, such as
ensuring an acceptable level of trustworthiness and enabling replication. Transparency in
qualitative research permits the ...
Investigating the role of visualisation in complex problem-solving across expertise in engineering education
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Spatial ability is proposed to play an important role in problem solving and may contribute to supporting engineering students in solving complex problems.
Hambrick, et al., in the context of geology, determined individuals ...
A novel mixed methods approach to synthesize EDA data with behavioral data to gain educational insight
(MDPI, 2020-11-30)
Whilst investigating student performance in design and arithmetic tasks, as well as during
exams, electrodermal activity (EDA)-based sensors have been used in attempts to understand
cognitive function and cognitive load. ...
Using pupil dilation to measure cognitive load during a spatial skills test
(ASEE, 2022-08-23)
This full research paper explores how spatial skills and cognitive load interact. Spatial skills allow a person to manipulate and rotate any three-dimensional object. Studies have reported that spatial skills can be a ...
Differences in perceived stress levels and measured stress while solving spatial tests
(ASEE, 2022-08-26)
Many events, including tests, personal conflicts, and hard deadlines, may result in a high level of stress for both students and educational practitioners. For example, taking a test is particularly stressful for students ...
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 ...
WIP: Adaptive comparative judgement as a tool for assessing first-year engineering design projects
(ASEE, 2022-06-26)
Design projects are an important part of many first-year engineering programs. The desire to
employ holistic assessment strategies to student work with open-ended and divergent
responses has been widely noted in the ...
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 ...
