Understanding the reasoning in the design process is essential to comprehend design practice and promote students' learning. Followingly, to effectively support students through the design process, it is crucial to pay attention to their reasoning. Therefore, in this study, we have built a model for students' reasoning in the design process in…

Citrohn, Björn; Stolpe, Karin; Svensson, Maria – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
In this study, we aim to investigate activities using models in a design project in three technology classrooms. Activities that use models are important for students' development of knowledge and skills connected to the design process. Nevertheless, few empirical studies have thus far examined how models and modelling are used in a classroom…

Education is a constantly evolving field that requires continuous professional development. While policymakers continue to implement school reforms, many of them depend on teachers' ability to learn and improve instruction to increase student learning. Teachers have a double role in educational reforms by being simultaneously subjects and objects…

Brink, Helen; Kilbrink, Nina; Gericke, Niklas – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Today, many technology teachers in compulsory technology education teach design and design processes using a digital design tool, such as computer aided design (CAD). Teaching involving CAD is a relatively new element and not very much is known about what teachers intend pupils to learn in compulsory education. Thus, the aim of this study is to…

Janse van Rensburg, Joalise; Rauscher, Willem – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
Critical Thinking (CT) consists of two components, namely, skills and dispositions. Although there is a fair amount of literature focusing on CT and the development of CT skills, the literature on CT dispositions and, in particular, strategies to promote the dispositional component of CT is lacking. This means that there is insufficient literature…

Walls, William; Mentzer, Nathan – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2021
As the field evolves over time, shifting from Industrial Arts, to Technology Education, to Engineering and Technology Education (ETE), so too does what teachers teach, how they teach, and the projects that they use. Projects that worked 10 years ago might not hold up today and, as reflective practitioners, they need to be able to align the current…

Citrohn, Björn; Stolpe, Karin; Svensson, Maria; Bernhard, Jonte – Design and Technology Education, 2022
This study aims to investigate affordances of models and modelling in design projects in technology education. To learn more about affordances when working with models and modelling, four Swedish technology teachers were interviewed using a narrative approach. Despite a small number of informants data were rich, containing detailed descriptions of…

Huffman, Tanner J.; Mentzer, Nathan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Modeling allows students to become more effective designers. High school technology and engineering students engage in engineering design challenges as part of traditional instructional practices. Model-eliciting activities (MEA) present students with opportunities to elicit mathematical thinking that facilitates modeling. Students (n = 266) from…

Glen Bull; Joe Garofalo; Michael Littman; Matthew Hoffman – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2018
"Make to Learn Invention Kits" allow students to reconstruct working models of historic inventions. This design case describes the development of a series of "Make to Learn Electric Motor Invention Kits" that spans the time frame from development of the first patented electric motor in the United States to contemporary…

Kelley, Todd R.; Sung, Euisuk – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2017
The purpose of this article is to provide awareness of the danger of design fixation and promote the uses of brainstorming early in the design process--before fixation limits creative ideas. The authors challenged technology teachers to carefully limit the use of design examples too early in the process and provided suggestions for facilitating…

Yrjönsuuri, Varpu; Kangas, Kaiju; Hakkarainen, Kai; Seitamaa-Hakkarainen, Pirita – Design and Technology Education, 2019
Co-invention projects in elementary school engage pupils in complex, open-ended design tasks in a practical, hands-on way. Physical materials are an intrinsic part of design, involving trasformation of conceptual ideas into material forms, such as prototypes. These tangible objects mediate embodied thinking and act as material-social mediators of…

Yuhyun Choi; Euisuk Sung; Seungwon Lee – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2022
The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association's (ITEEA's) "Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy" ("STEL") describes design thinking as an approach that allows students and educators to integrate other content areas by considering relevant contextual information to guide design and making…

Sung, Euisuk; Kelley, Todd R. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
Design is a key element of both the teaching and learning of engineering and technology. However, the process of engineering design has yielded limited research results. This study explored the iterative design process by searching for sequential design thinking patterns. The researchers collected nine concurrent think-aloud protocols from…

Wakjira, Abdalganiy; Bhattacharya, Samit – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2021
Students in the online learning who have other responsibilities of life such as work and family face attrition. Constructing a model of engagement with smallest granule of time has not been implemented widely, but implementing it is important as it allows to uncover more subtle patterns. We built a student engagement prediction model using 9…

Haupt, Grietjie – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2015
Empirical evidence on the way in which expert designers from different domains cognitively connect their internal processes with external resources is presented in the context of an extended cognition model. The article focuses briefly on the main trends in the extended design cognition theory and in particular on recent trends in information…
