Fernando Veiga; Alain Gil-Del-Val; Edurne Iriondo; Urko Eslava – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2025
This paper presents the experimental work developed to measure the learning process through concept map analysis. The development of a concept map is requested by the students for each chapter or theme of the subject. As a result, maps from engineering courses have been analyzed. The measurements carried out consider several parameters, such as…

Scott Thorne; Nathan Mentzer; Scott Bartholomew; Greg J. Strimel – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
In design courses, reviewing how others have solved design problems or completed projects is common practice and often encouraged by educators. Using student work as examples can provide context for assessment criteria and help students approach new design problems. While studies have explored the use of exemplars in various disciplines, little…

Graff, Daniel; Clark, Mark A. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
Universities increasingly incorporate multidisciplinary design projects into their curriculum to better prepare their students for the labor market. In these projects, student team members of various disciplinary backgrounds develop new product or service concepts for organizational partners. This structure enables students to learn not only from…

Gómez Puente, Sonia M.; van Eijck, Michiel; Jochems, Wim – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2013
Design-based learning (DBL) is an educational approach grounded in the processes of inquiry and reasoning towards generating innovative artifacts, systems and solutions. The approach is well characterized in the context of learning natural sciences in secondary education. Less is known, however, of its characteristics in the context of higher…

Jakovljevic, Maria; Ankiewicz, Piet; De swardt, Estelle; Gross, Elna – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2004
Traditional instructional methodology in the Information System Design (ISD) environment lacks explicit strategies for promoting the cognitive skills of prospective system designers. This contributes to the fragmented knowledge and low motivational and creative involvement of learners in system design tasks. In addition, present ISD methodologies,…
