Meng-Fei Cheng; Yu-Heng Lo; Chi-Ho Cheng – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
While it has been recognized that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education requires an interdisciplinary approach, integrating multiple subjects in a meaningful way remains challenging for teachers. This study aimed to design a STEM curriculum, emphasizing explicit and continuous scaffolding of students' reflection on…

Delen, Ibrahim; Yuksel, Tugba – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Understanding how engineering design (ED) and design-based learning (DBL) are portrayed at various educational levels is essential in this transition to ascertain the state of the literature. We investigated ED and DBL studies in Web of Science and Scopus databases. Then we focused on educational levels, categorizing research based on participant…

Kim, Ji Eun; Park, Jisun – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2023
This study aimed to examine how students managed conflicts in an engineering design process and how different management styles affected their group interaction progress. We observed three groups of students in classes, where they designed devices to solve water shortages. Students' interactions involving conflict in these lessons were analyzed in…

Sanchez, Anastasia – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2023
Due to the influence of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the National Research Council's (NRC) "Framework for K-12 Science Education," and a socio-workforce push to increase diverse representation in STEM fields, engineering education has become more prevalent in K-12 classrooms over the past decade. Although this shift is…

Whitney Lowery Oberndorf – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Nearly one-fifth of U.S. children attend rural schools; however, these students have fewer opportunities for high-quality STEM learning. Rural students are also less likely to attend college and less likely to enroll in STEM majors than their urban and suburban peers. In conjunction with these factors, female students are also less likely to…

Mustafa Sami Topçu; Kristen Bethke Wendell; Chelsea Joy Andrews – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Mechanistic reasoning about an artifact or system involves thinking about its underlying entities and the properties, activities, and cause-effect relationships of those entities. Previous studies of children's mechanistic reasoning about engineering solutions have mostly focused on specific mechanical systems such as gear trains. Yet there is…

Merve Ozkizilcik; Umran Betul Cebesoy – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
National reform documents all around the world issue an urgent need for the development of integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) curricula. With the emphasis on the development of STEM curricula, there is also a need for improving teachers' and future teachers' conceptions of the integrated STEM approach. This study…

Frackson Mumba; Alexis Rutt; Reid Bailey; Laura Pottmeyer; Rachael van Aswegen; Jennie Chiu; John Ojeogwu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
"The Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards require teachers to integrate engineering design into K-12 science teaching. However, many teachers have no formal preparation in engineering design and how to integrate it into science instruction. Furthermore, few models exist for preparing teachers in…

Zhiyong Wang – Design and Technology Education, 2024
Along with the rapid development of Chinese modern design since the 1980s, modern design education has grown in China. Many studies have already been conducted to examine the key aspects of this historical phenomenon, e.g., heroic figures and well-known institutes. This article, however, investigates the anonymous activities of modern design…

Designing for Others: The Roles of Narrative and Empathy in Supporting Girls' Engineering Engagement
Peppler, Kylie; Keune, Anna; Dahn, Maggie; Bennett, Dorothy; Letourneau, Susan M. – Information and Learning Sciences, 2022
Purpose: Science museums provide a context for developing and testing engineering activities that support visitors in creating personally meaningful objects. This study aims to propose that narrative design elements in such engineering activities can foster empathy to support engineering engagement among girls ages 7-14.…

Arik, Merve; Topçu, Mustafa Sami – Research in Science Education, 2022
The purposes of this research are to analyse studies which include "Engineering Design Process" by using meta-synthesis method and to present the type of tendency and differences of the processes used in the current literature. With this purpose, 46 research articles were selected and analysed. Qualitative data were collected under three…

Margaret E. Parker – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards propose that students learn concepts and practices related to engineering as well as science. Currently the research surrounding how engineering practices through engineering design are implemented in the life sciences such as high school biology is limited. To…

Zhimeng Jiang; Bing Wei; Sitong Chen; Lihua Tan – Science & Education, 2024
A major concern in science education is how to help students form science identity to increase their aspiration for STEM careers. Given the key role of experiences in individual's science identity formation, STEM experiences related to project-based learning (PBL) have received increasing attention in recent years. The purpose of this study was to…

McGowan, Veronica Cassone; Ventura, Marcia; Bell, Philip – Science and Children, 2017
This column presents ideas and techniques to enhance your science teaching. This month's issue shares information on how students' everyday experiences can support science learning through engineering design. In this article, the authors outline a reverse-engineering model of instruction and describe one example of how it looked in our fifth-grade…

Tejaswini Dalvi; Kristen Wendell – Science Education, 2024
An understanding of how sensemaking unfolds when elementary students engage in engineering design tasks is crucial to advancing engineering teaching and learning at K-12 levels. Sensemaking has been widely studied in the context of science as a discipline. In this paper, we seek to contribute to the more nascent efforts to build theory about the…
