Andrea Hicks; Wissam Kontar – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Engineering programs must produce graduates who are able to consider multicriteria decisions including ethical implications during engineering practice. Teaching students in a meaningful manner to consider these multifaceted decisions was investigated through the usage of disasters and primary coverage of infrastructure disasters. Students…

Könings, Karen D.; Bovill, Catherine; Woolner, Pamela – European Journal of Education, 2017
It is recognised that educational environments influence learning experiences, so it is important to ensure that educational buildings are designed to be fit for purpose. In order to ensure that educational buildings meet the needs of those who use them, all relevant stakeholders should be involved in the design process. However, this is not…

McClain, Lucy R.; Zimmerman, Heather Toomey – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2019
This study investigates how scientist-led educational programs, held in libraries, can make local science issues relevant to families. Given the need for an educated citizenry, it is important to explore if scientists -- as learning facilitators -- can use educational strategies to engage intergenerational groups. We view family learning from a…

Lawanto, Oenardi – National Center for Engineering and Technology Education, 2011
The objective of this study was to describe the task interpretation of students engaged in a design activity and determine the extent to which students translate their understanding of their design task to their planning and cognitive strategies. Twenty-nine students at one Colorado high school participated in this study. Students worked…

Inside the Black Box: Making Design Decisions for Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kerr, Stephen T. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1983
Presents findings from study of design activities among 26 novice instructional designers which investigated prevalence of initial generation of more than one design solution; basis on which solutions are accepted or rejected; constraints encountered in proceeding with design; way in which designers know design is finished. Twelve references are…

Inside the Black Box: Making Design Decisions for Instruction.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Kerr, Stephen T. – 1982
The literature on instructional design argues that curricula, educational materials, and instructional strategies are best created using a systems approach, and models for the systematic design of educational programs have proliferated over the past decade. However, these models are prescriptive and not based on research into how designers…
