Nicholas O. Awuor; Cathy Weng; Isaac M. Matere; Jeng-Hu Chen; Dani Puspitasari; Khanh Nguyen Phuong Tran – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Engineering drawing is valuable in capturing geometric features, conveying engineering ideas, and creating a blueprint of the intended product. Engineering students usually perform orthographic projections, imagining a 3D situation and sketching its 2D representation. That requires imagination and mental visualization, determined by the learner's…

Jonassen, David; Strobel, Johannes; Gottdenker, Joshua – Interactive Learning Environments, 2005
Conceptual change is a popular, contemporary conception of meaningful learning. Conceptual change describes changes in conceptual frameworks (mental models or personal theories) that learners construct to comprehend phenomena. Different theories of conceptual change describe the reorganization of conceptual frameworks that results from different…
