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 ...
Comparative judgement: an overview
(Springer, 2021-05-30)
There is a growing demand for the use of digital tools in assessment. Few approaches show innovative benefits beyond being logistical aids. Comparative judgment (CJ) has the potential to enhance educational practices by ...
Framing the constructive alignment of design within technology subjects in general education.
(Springer, 2020-05-27)
Design is core element of general technology education internationally. While there is
a degree of contention with regards to its treatment, there is general consensus that the
inclusion of design in some form is important, ...
An exploration into the criteria used in assessing design activities with adaptive comparative judgment in technology education.
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08)
The use of design assignments for teaching, learning, and assessment is considered a signature of technology education. However, there are difficulties in the valid and reliable assessment of features of quality within ...
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 ...
Epistemological treatment of design in technology education
(Springer, 2022-10-18)
Design as a construct has multiple meanings depending on context, function, and agenda. This paper proposes to set out functions of design as it manifests in the context of technological activity for the purposes of ...
A conceptual framework for assessment of learning in technology classroom based assessments
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2021-04-26)
The technology education curriculum in Ireland has gone through significant reform with the
introduction of four new subject specifications at lower secondary school level. These new technology
subjects were implemented ...
Perspectives on engineering education from the world of practice
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-16)
This special issue on early career engineers responds to a key challenge in engineering education –
that of bringing the largely separate worlds of engineering education and engineering practice
closer together. There ...
The motivations and perceptions of practicing teachers undertaking technology education research: a work in progress report from an exploratory case study
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2021-04-26)
Technology education (TE) is a transient area of study. Few other subject areas require such levels of up-skilling similar to that of technology teachers in order for them to stay current and aligned with the developments ...
