Hanxiang Du; Gaoxia Zhu; Wanli Xing; Charles Xie – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
Engineering design that requires mathematical analysis, scientific understanding, and technology is critical for preparing students for solving engineering problems. In simulated design environments, students are expected to learn about science and engineering through their design. However, there is a lack of understanding concerning linking…

Sevgi Aydin-Günbatar; Nilay Ozturk; Gillian H. Roehrig – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
This research investigated how middle school science teachers integrated engineering into their planned science instruction and the extent to which they conceptually linked science to engineering following participation in a professional development program. Video recordings of six teachers' classroom implementation of teacher-designed units were…

Peppler, Kylie A.; Sedas, R. Mishael; Thompson, Naomi – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
This exploratory study compares how young people (ages 15-16) learn circuitry concepts and layout design principles important to electrical engineering using one of two educational circuitry toolkits: paper circuits and traditional solderless breadboards. Paper-based prototyping kits are representative of a trend that incorporates new materials…

Davis, Kirsten A.; Grote, Dustin; Mahmoudi, Hesam; Perry, Logan; Ghaffarzadegan, Navid; Grohs, Jacob; Hosseinichimeh, Niyousha; Knight, David B.; Triantis, Konstantinos – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Self-report assessments are used frequently in higher education to assess a variety of constructs, including attitudes, opinions, knowledge, and competence. Systems thinking is an example of one competence often measured using self-report assessments where individuals answer several questions about their perceptions of their own skills, habits, or…

Wengrowicz, Niva; Lavi, Rea; Kohen, Hanan; Dori, Dov – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
As part of the design, development, and deployment of a massive open online course (MOOC) on model-based systems engineering, we introduced MORTIF--Modeling with Real-Time Informative Feedback, a new learning-by-doing feature that enables the learner to model, receive detailed feedback, and resubmit improved solutions. We examined the pedagogical…

Jennifer L. Chiu; James P. Bywater; Tugba Karabiyik; Alejandra Magana; Corey Schimpf; Ying Ying Seah – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Despite an increasing focus on integrating engineering design in K-12 settings, relatively few studies have investigated how to support students to engage in systematic processes to optimize the designs of their solutions. Emerging learning technologies such as computational models and simulations enable rapid feedback to learners about their…

Mustafa Sami Topçu; Kristen Bethke Wendell; Chelsea Joy Andrews – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Mechanistic reasoning about an artifact or system involves thinking about its underlying entities and the properties, activities, and cause-effect relationships of those entities. Previous studies of children's mechanistic reasoning about engineering solutions have mostly focused on specific mechanical systems such as gear trains. Yet there is…

Frackson Mumba; Alexis Rutt; Reid Bailey; Laura Pottmeyer; Rachael van Aswegen; Jennie Chiu; John Ojeogwu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
"The Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards require teachers to integrate engineering design into K-12 science teaching. However, many teachers have no formal preparation in engineering design and how to integrate it into science instruction. Furthermore, few models exist for preparing teachers in…

Zhu, Gaoxia; Zeng, Yifang; Xing, Wanli; Du, Hanxiang; Xie, Charles – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Understanding the design process may reveal when and where resources should be focused and how engineers can better use tools, methods, and techniques to enhance the quality of designs and creative performance. The literature suggests the importance of iterative evaluation and reformulation in the engineering design process. The current study…

Dutta, Rubina; Mantri, Archana; Singh, Gurjinder; Singh, Narinder Pal – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Digital electronics is a fundamental subject for engineering students, and it enables the students to learn design-based approaches and solve complex engineering problems. Students learn about minimization techniques for reducing the hardware components and size of the circuit by solving complex Boolean equations. The Karnaugh map (K-map) is one…

Lavi, Rea; Marti, Deniz – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Scholars and international bodies have highlighted the need to foster undergraduate engineering students' creative thinking and critical thinking. Case-based learning is a name for a host of pedagogical approaches which are student-centered, requiring the instructor to act as an expert guide rather than as a source of knowledge. These approaches…

Wu, Jue; Atit, Kinnari; Ramey, Kay E.; Flanagan-Hall, Grace Ann; Vondracek, Mark; Jona, Kemi; Uttal, David H. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Involving students in the co-design of educational curricula and practices can benefit both students and teachers. Students who participate in co-design may show better learning or increased agency or engagement. In the present study, we investigated what kind of science knowledge or practices can be learned by student co-designers while engaging…

Aydogan, Berna; Çakiroglu, Jale – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of engineering design-based instruction (EDBI) on 7th grade students' nature of engineering (NOE) views. Quantitative research to evaluate students' NOE views was operated through a questionnaire which is "Views for Nature of Engineering -Elementary School Version (VNOE-E)" as pre-…

Our study investigates the effect of hybrid courses and reading scientific articles on scientific literacy of biomedical engineering students. Participants included about 100 undergraduate and graduate students who participated in one or two hybrid courses. Our research goal was to study the effect of reading scientific articles and participating…

Shwartz, Gabriella; Shav-Artza, Or; Dori, Yehudit Judy – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
In response to the realization that qualified applicants' choice of a career in chemistry is declining, we investigated the factors involved in chemistry and chemical education career choice. Building on the social cognitive theory (SCT) and the social cognitive career theory (SCCT), this research examines the personal, environmental, and…
