Duff, Signe M.; Van Bergen, Penny; Mulligan, Joanne – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2021
When young students engage with activities aimed at improving spatial reasoning, there is potential to also improve learning and performance in practical mathematics problem-solving tasks, scientific inquiries, and other STEM-based tasks. In this study, students worked in pairs to problem solve through 3D construction. The aim was to assess…

Shechter, Taly; Eden, Sigal; Spektor-Levy, Ornit – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
The objective of this study was to examine in what ways and to what extent preschoolers (5-6 years of age) manifest early Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoM) while engaging in an open-ended problem-solving construction task. The study comprised 228 children (120 boys and 108 girls). The study implemented a quantitative approach. The main research…

Csepcsényi, Lajos Lászlóné Balogh Melinda; Bredács, Alice – Practice and Theory in Systems of Education, 2016
It is a commonplace view today that schools do not prepare students properly for solving technical problems emerging in an ever-changing world. As attested by various PISA surveys, Hungarian students can only retrieve their knowledge situations. Their self-regulated learning, problem solving and cooperative skills do not develop in accord with the…

English, Lyn D.; King, Donna; Smeed, Joanna – Journal of Educational Research, 2017
As part of a 3-year longitudinal study, 136 sixth-grade students completed an engineering-based problem on earthquakes involving integrated STEM learning. Students employed engineering design processes and STEM disciplinary knowledge to plan, sketch, then construct a building designed to withstand earthquake damage, taking into account a number of…

Audy, Jaromir – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2007
This paper presents the results of a study on the influence of blackboard assistance and lecturer's initiative on student's achievements (measured via quality of individualised surfboards). In addition it looks at student attitudes to project related issues in technology education, derived from the pre-test and post-test experiments and surveys.…
