Katrien Van Poeck; Ellen Vandenplas; Leif Östman – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Knowledge about sustainability problems as it is typically taught does not "per se" lead to action for tackling these problems. Environmental and sustainability education researchers have argued for teaching more action-oriented knowledge. This article addresses the 'didactical work' required for teachers to do so, both in preparing and…

Susanne Engström; Helena Lennholm – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2025
In literature, teaching for an authentic learning experience is seen as rewarding and interesting, promoting better understanding of for example sustainable development and fostering students' independence. Some upper secondary schools emphasise authentic teaching and learning on their websites, showcasing how students engage in authentic tasks.…

Leah R. Cheek; Vinson Carter; Michael K. Daugherty; Christian Z. Goering – Reading Teacher, 2024
Empathy, an unsung, yet critical element of learning, can be strategically interlaced with literacy instruction and engineering design to create a rich and authentic learning experience for students. Integrated STEM education rests on the promise of engaging students and providing deep understandings through the intentional practice of delivering…

Tina Vo; Rebekah Hammack; Paul Gannon; Nicholas Lux; Blake Wiehe; Miracle Moonga; Brock LaMeres – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
As we prepare teachers to provide students with opportunities within STEM education, authentic experiences should guide the instruction. Unfortunately, due to the novel integration of engineering into national reform documents, there is a dearth of documentation on elementary preservice teachers' engineering ideas as they align with student goals…

Roehrig, Gillian H.; Dare, Emily A.; Ring-Whalen, Elizabeth; Wieselmann, Jeanna R. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Few tools or rubrics exist to assess the quality of integrated STEM curricula, and existing tools focus on checklists of characteristics of integrated STEM. While such instruments provide important information about the presence and quality of certain curricular components, they do not assess the level and nature of integration of the…

Huang, Zhenhua; Kougianos, Elias; Ge, Xun; Wang, Shuping; Chen, P. Daniel; Cai, Liping – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: A systematic interdisciplinary engineering and technology instructional model using cutting-edge technologies is proposed in this research. This model consists of four key components: 1) interdisciplinary collaboration; 2) hands-on projects; 3) real-world simulations; and 4) cutting-edge technologies. The model was designed to engage…

Aadland, Torgeir; Aaboen, Lise – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
The future engineer is labelled an entrepreneurial engineer, having networking, teamwork, opportunity recognition, creativity, risk management, and discipline-specific skills. Therefore, entrepreneurship education is being increasingly introduced in engineering education. The various educational designs used to introduce entrepreneurship education…

Sunil Dehipawala; Kelvin Yao; Todd Holden; Tak Cheung – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
The damped harmonic oscillator physics problem is a standard oscillation problem in calculus physics for pre-engineering students in a community college. The use of alternative linear algebra eigenvalue stability method is consistent with the upper engineering courses using control theory. The external force and friction damping would become the…

Bosman, L. B.; Phillips, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This article highlights one approach to fostering the entrepreneurial mindset in the engineering classroom. Background: Entrepreneurship and innovation are currently trending topics in engineering education and will continue developing for the foreseeable future. Intended Outcomes: The guiding research question is: how can an…

Cunningham, Christine M.; Kelly, Gregory J. – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2022
In this paper, we address the societally important issue of developing a more equitable approach to preK-12 engineering education. Our primary emphasis is on K-8 grades--a time when first impressions of engineering may be developed. Calls for increased participation by all students, including those who have been historically marginalized, motivate…

Dasgupta, Chandan – Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Background: There is a need to find ways of productively engaging K-12 students with engineering design. I investigate a new class of physical models, referred to as Improvable Models, as scaffolds for helping middle school students productively engage in engineering design practices. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to answer two…

Sisk-Hilton, Stephanie; Ferner, Sarah Davies – Science and Children, 2022
The inclusion of engineering in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as a key component of K-12 science learning has provided both opportunities and challenges for elementary teachers. One challenge is integrating the design thinking processes that undergird engineering with core science concepts and current issues facing scientists and…

Mitchell, John; Nyamapfene, Abel; Roach, Kate; Tilley, Emanuela – Higher Education Pedagogies, 2019
Accredited engineering degrees call upon students to develop a wide range of knowledge and skills. These range from technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge, through to transferable skills such as communications, teamwork, business acumen and critical analysis. Through a faculty-wide curriculum development programme we have sought to…

Williams, Tory; Krikorian, Jacqueline; Singer, Jonathan; Rakes, Christopher; Ross, Julia – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2019
The Next Generation Science Standards call for the integration of engineering into mainstream science education, yet challenges arise for teachers unfamiliar with engineering-based pedagogy or concepts. The INSPIRES Hemodialysis educative curriculum may address such challenges by explicitly integrating all areas of STEM in an authentic learning…

García-Pinar, Aránzazu – English Language Teaching, 2019
Authentic materials, if appropriate to the learning situation, might turn the classroom environment into a more engaging place, where motivation might be generated through the performance of meaningful tasks. This article describes how a Text-Based Instruction approach can provide the basis for the design of an ESP syllabus based on relevant,…
