Andrew J. Hughes; Mike Stitzer – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2022
The intention of this article is to provide Technology and Engineering Educators (T&EEs) with a more thorough understanding of the product realization process (PRP) being implemented during machine design. Machines can be defined as the combination of simple machines and mechanisms for the purpose of doing work (Hughes & Merrill, 2021b).…

Chang, Chi-Cheng; Yen, Wan-Hsuan – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2023
Engineering design thinking is at the core of engineering competence. Project-Based learning (PjBL) about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), which is based on engineering design, has brought enormous success in students' gaining and applying knowledge about STEM subjects. However, there are few studies on the perceived…

Kristin Trostel – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Career and technical education (CTE) is revolutionizing the United States education system. These modern programs are being created across the country, and there is a need to ensure they are designed in a way that leads to students successfully graduating high school. The problem was a lower rate of students graduating from secondary education in…

Margaret E. Parker – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards propose that students learn concepts and practices related to engineering as well as science. Currently the research surrounding how engineering practices through engineering design are implemented in the life sciences such as high school biology is limited. To…

Yu, Kuang-Chao; Wu, Pai-Hsing; Fan, Szu-Chun – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
With an increased emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, educators have often adopted engineering projects for integrating interdisciplinary knowledge through engineering design process. However, there is scant research that has empirically documented the relationships among students' understanding of the…

Hong, Jon-Chao; Gu, Jianjun; Tsai, Chi-Ruei – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Drawing on Dweck and Leggett's (1988) implicit beliefs of intelligence framework, the present study explored the incremental belief of intelligence (IBI) and how it correlated to metacognitive skills that reflected vocational students' project design engagement. Data were collected from students from 2 vocational high schools involved in project…

Kahn, Jennifer B.; Peralta, Lee Melvin; Rubel, Laurie H.; Lim, Vivian Y.; Jiang, Shiyan; Herbel-Eisenmann, Beth – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
In this paper, we introduce Notice, Wonder, Feel, Act, and Reimagine (NWFAR) to promote social justice in data science (DS) education. NWFAR draws on intersectional feminist DS to scaffold critical perspectives towards systems of power and oppression and attend to students' experiences in designs for learning. NWFAR adds three practices that are…

Zheng, Juan; Xing, Wanli; Huang, Xudong; Li, Shan; Chen, Guanhua; Xie, Charles – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Research on self-regulated learning (SRL) in engineering design is growing. While SRL is an effective way of learning, however, not all learners can regulate themselves successfully. There is a lack of research regarding how student characteristics, such as science knowledge and design knowledge, interact with SRL. Adapting the SRL theory in the…

Zhimeng Jiang; Bing Wei; Sitong Chen; Lihua Tan – Science & Education, 2024
A major concern in science education is how to help students form science identity to increase their aspiration for STEM careers. Given the key role of experiences in individual's science identity formation, STEM experiences related to project-based learning (PBL) have received increasing attention in recent years. The purpose of this study was to…

Gravel, Brian E.; Svihla, Vanessa – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
Background: Design problems have long attracted researchers' attention for their potential to provide authentic learning opportunities. While we have methods for supporting students to learn through relatively simple engineering and design tasks, supporting students to address complex problems that they find and frame remains poorly understood.…

Rahimi, Farzan Baradaran; Kim, Beaumie – Learning, Media and Technology, 2023
When we give meanings to a physical space, we engage in place-making. With technologies, the place-making activities can be extended to virtual and hybrid spaces. In games, actual or virtual space can gain narrative and meaning transforming into a playce (i.e., a place for play). We suggest that playce-making (i.e., transforming a space into a…
