Developing a methodological approach to measure cognitive load during complex problem solving.
Reid, Clodagh; Kieghrey, Conor; Dunbar, Rónán; Murray, Niall; Buckley, Jeffrey (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 ... -
Investigating the effect of engineering student's spatial ability and expertise on general complex problem solving
Reid, Clodagh; Buckley, Jeffrey; Dunbar, Rónán (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 ... -
A preliminary model of problem categorisation to explore the cognitive abilities required for problem solving in engineering education.
Reid, Clodagh; Dunbar, Rónán; Buckley, Jeffrey (TERG, 2018-06)The provision of engineering education as a means of enabling students to develop contemporary transversal competencies such as problem solving, critical thinking, adaptive reasoning and communication, places a responsibility ...
