Investigating the use of spatial reasoning strategies in geometric problem solving.
(Springer, 2019)A core aim of contemporary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is the development of robust problem-solving skills. This can be achieved by fostering both discipline knowledge expertise and ... -
Implicit theories of intelligence in STEM education: perspectives through the lens of technology education students.
(Springer, 2019)The educational significance of eliciting students’ implicit theories of intelligence is well established with the majority of this work focussing on theories regarding entity and incremental beliefs. However, a second ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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 ...
