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 ...
The role of physiological responses in a VR-based sound localization task
(IEEE, 2021-09-10)
Virtual reality (VR) has recently emerged as a platform that can be employed in the context of e-health applications. Even though the majority of VR-based applications focus on visual stimuli as the main content, audio ...
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 ...
Exploring the effects of immersive virtual reality environments on sensory perception of beef steaks and chocolate
(MDPI, 2021-05)
Virtual reality (VR) technology is emerging as a tool for simulating different eating environments to better understand consumer sensory response to food. This research explored the impact of different environmental contexts ...
First results from the REAL-time transient acquisition backend (REALTA) at the Irish LOFAR station
(ESO/EDP Sciences, 2021-10-28)
Modern radio interferometers such as the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) are capable of producing data at hundreds of gigabits to terabits per second. This high data rate makes the analysis of radio data cumbersome and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Examining the replicability of contemporary technology education research
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2021-04-26)
Discourse in psychological science concerning the replication crisis is growing, with typically cited indicators including scientific fraud, the use of questionable research practices and the failure of published effects ...
Green IoT for eco-friendly and sustainable smart cities: future directions and opportunities
(Springer, 2021-08-17)
The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and their integration in smart cities have changed the way we work and live, and enriched our society. However, IoT technologies present several challenges such ...
Exploring the prototypical definitions of intelligent engineers held by Irish and Swedish higher education engineering students
(SAGE, 2021-03-12)
Males are generally overrepresented in higher education engineering. However, the
