Balancing curriculum intent with expected student responses to designerly tasks.
(Design and Technology Education: An International Journal., 2018-02)
Design activities form an extensive part of design and technology education with a link being
posited within the pertinent literature between the cognitive activity of learning and the
cognitive activity of design. It ...
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 ...
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. ...
Outcome analyses of educational interventions: a case study of the Swedish “Boost of Technology” intervention.
(Springer, 2018)
In Sweden, there have been multiple large scale interventions to support compulsory school
teachers generally and within specific subjects. Due to the costs associated with such interventions it is critical that interim ...
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, ...
Arbeta med komparativ bedömning (Working with comparative assessment).
(Skola och Samhälle, 2018-04-26)
Comparative assessment has been found to provide high reliability when evaluating open data and has received a lot of positive attention in, for example, Ireland, the UK, the US and Belgium. There are so far quite a few ...
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 ...
Visualization, inductive reasoning, and memory span as components of fluid intelligence: implications for technology education.
(Elsevier, 2018)
The philosophy and epistemology of technology education are relatively unique as the subject largely focusses on acquiring task specific relevant knowledge rather than having an explicit epistemological discipline boundary. ...
