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…

This study addresses the development and evaluation of the Physics Problem-Solving Taxonomy (PPST), comprising five levels: retrieval, diagnosis, strategy, conceptual, and creative thinking. The taxonomy draws on Bloom's revised taxonomy in the cognitive domain, the Types of Knowledge Taxonomy, and the Problem-Solving Taxonomy in engineering. The…

Sabag, Nissim – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2017
Background: The importance of knowledge and skills in mathematics for electrical engineering students is well known. Engineers and engineering educators agree that any engineering curriculum must include plenty of mathematics studies to enrich the engineer's toolbox. Nevertheless, little attention has been given to the possible contribution of…

Barak, Moshe – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2011
This paper presents the outcomes of teaching an inventive problem-solving course to middle school students. Contrary to the common view of creativity as a 'free flow of thought' or 'thinking out of the box,' the method under discussion stresses the use of diverse heuristic approaches for problem-solving and the invention of new products: for…

Gero, Aharon; Zoabi, Wishah; Sabag, Nissim – Advances in Engineering Education, 2014
Two-year college teachers face great difficulty when they teach the principle of operation of the bipolar junction transistor--a subject which forms the basis for electronics studies. The difficulty arises from both the complexity of the device and by the lack of adequate scientific background among the students. We, therefore, developed a unique…

Zodik, Iris; Zaslavsky, Orit – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
The study was carried out within the framework of a project that provided afterschool mathematics tutorial sessions to 10th-12th grade students by engineers in an informal setting. The participating students were selected from advanced level mathematics classes according to their need for additional support. The main goal of the study was to…
