The 'object' has the potential to be a tool in the process of conveying the feelings and thoughts of the artist to the audience in the formation of contemporary art. While 'process' emphasizes the production stages of the work or the time period from the beginning to the end of the work in some works of art, in some works it refers to the changes…

This research aimed to explore the effectiveness of using augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance construction management students' understanding of construction plans. Specifically, the study employed a controlled experimental approach, utilizing pre-assessment and post-assessment measures to evaluate the impact that the AR tool had on…

Practices that take into account youth and adult education (YAE) are still rare in the literature.The present work applied an investigative activity with YAE students from the last year of middle education, in the discipline of sciences, about the methods of construction of science and tests of variables. From the categorization of metacognitive…

The research orientation of the Department of technics, Faculty of Education, University of Hradec Kralove focuses on finding new ways for development of polytechnic and science education. The research is motivated by the fact that children's interest in technical and science subjects is decreasing in recent years in the Czech Republic. The…

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, traditional university classes, and any associated experiential hands-on learning laboratories, adapted to comply with safety standards for public health, transitioning from a traditional classroom environment to a virtual one. This paper discusses the impact hands-on experiential learning laboratories have on both…

This research presents two case studies on how human-centered design process can help the students find their purpose in making and designing in a constructionist learning-environment. Human-centered design guides students to deeper understanding of others' needs and encourages them to think and act collaboratively and creatively. When the…

The paper examines how computational thinking can be taught to young children with the use of educational robotics using the kit LEGO WeDo. Computational thinking was measured in terms of four sub-skills, namely, sequencing, correspondence between actions and instructions, debugging, and flow of control. Students were assigned to an experimental…

Defining what it means to be in the "bosom of nature," to use Montessori's words, Laurie Ewert-Krocker points out that the adolescent period of storm and stress is quelled by the natural world. But most important, when socialization is the essential developmental focus of the young adolescent, positive social organization is fostered by…

This proposal reports the findings from interviews with construction science students about their visualization of problems in a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional task. The specific research questions focused on the individual characteristics that students identify as influencing their spatial ability to generate internal and external…

This paper develops a model for the Construction Industry and defines the various phases within the construction process. It is suggested that engineering education make students aware of the construction process and its divisions, and provide management training. (MLH)

This paper discusses pitfalls in condominium design and the incorpoation of related noise control problems into classroom situations. Two case studies are provided, and a list of architectural noise problems found in many condominiums is included. (CP)

Guidelines for organizing parents, school staff, and community members for the purpose of building or redesigning a playground are provided in this document. After brief discussions of needs assessment and what to do in the first planning meeting, the paper focuses on the responsibilities and activities associated with three committees: planning,…

The use of corrugated cardboard in constructing stage scenery is discussed in this paper. In the first section, both the advantages and the problems associated with using the material are discussed, as are ways to avoid problems. The second section of the paper discusses general methods for preparing corrugated materials for set and prop…

It is proposed that the construction industry collaborate with educational practitioners and administrators to establish the objectives of construction engineering programs. Other recommendations are that the construction industry assume direct teaching responsibility for designated areas of instruction; provide program support, such as work…

The recent experiences of North Carolina State University and Wake Forest University in the planning and construction of campus buildings are described as illustrations of the planning of space to meet the goals and needs of the institution in the future. At North Carolina State University, 780 additional acres were received from the state, and a…
