Buckley, Jeffrey; Hyland, Tomás; Seery, Niall – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Technology education research is a growing field, with the rate of growth increasing over the last 2 decades. As the field grows, it is paramount that credibility is maintained in published findings. To date there is no evidence to suggest a lack trust is warranted, however in the midst of the replication crisis there is need to ensure continued…

Miranda, Constanza; Goñi, Julian; Pickenpack, Astrid; Sotomayor, Trinidad – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
K-12 Engineering Education has placed a lot of attention on students' attitudes or predispositions towards science and technology. However, most assessment methods are focused on STEM as a whole or only on technology. In this article, we will discuss the instrument called Technology and Engineering Attitude Scale (TEAS) which focuses on attitudes…

Rihtaršic, David; Avsec, Stanislav; Kocijancic, Slavko – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the experiential learning of electronics subject matter is effective in the middle school open learning of robotics. Electronics is often ignored in robotics courses. Since robotics courses are typically comprised of computer-related subjects, and mechanical and electrical engineering, these…

van Niekerk, Elsabe; Ankiewicz, Piet; de Swardt, Estelle – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2010
Over the past few years, educators in South Africa have been subjected to many changes in the educational sphere. Not only was a new approach to education, namely outcomes-based education (OBE) implemented, but the curriculum was also changed and now consists of eight learning areas, some of which are groupings of traditional school subjects (e.g.…
