Emergent technological literacy: what do children bring to school?International Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 23 - Trang 443-453 - 2011
W. B. Mawson
There has been very little research into children’s technological practice in early childhood settings. This article describes four typical examples of the technological activity that occurs on a daily basis in New Zealand early childhood settings. It is suggested that children come to compulsory schooling with well-developed technological knowledge and competence in instigating and carrying out t...... hiện toàn bộ
Primary school students' interests in STEM careers: how conceptions of STEM professionals and gender moderation influenceInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 32 - Trang 33-53 - 2020
Winnie Wing Mui So, Yu Chen, Stephen Cheuk Fai Chow
This study assessed elementary school students’ conceptions of STEM professions and its potential influence on STEM career interest, as well as the moderation effect of gender on the relationships between conceptions of STEM professionals and career interest in STEM. A total of 216 grade 3 through 5 students in Hong Kong participated in this study. They were asked to draw images of professionals i...... hiện toàn bộ
Critically reflective practice in visual communication design teaching for higher education undergraduate programInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 32 - Trang 1063-1078 - 2020

The study explores the impact of critical reflection on visual communication design teaching for undergraduate programs in Pakistan. Critical reflection is a self-initiated thinking tool with practical implications to improve teaching and professional practices. The qualitative phenomenological research included teachers and practitioners from the private and public sector, art and design institut...... hiện toàn bộ
How task constraints affect inspiration search strategiesInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 30 - Trang 101-125 - 2019

Searching for sources of inspiration is central to creative design; however, we have limited knowledge of individual inspiration search strategies in response to varying levels of task constraints. We studied 39 high-school students’ inspiration search strategies using Google Images. Low task constrainedness led to divergent search marked by quick iterations, limited design task usage, and a heter...... hiện toàn bộ
Aligning a CAD course constructively: telling-to-peer and writing-to-peer activities for efficient use of CAD in design curriculaInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 32 - Trang 1813-1835 - 2021
Koray Gelmez, Selin Arkan
As the literature points out the lack of efficient use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in design curricula, we aimed to align a CAD course based on student-centered learning theories. While designating a constructively aligned CAD course, the intended learning outcomes were specified in relation to the knowledge types classified for the CAD learning process. Based on these outcomes, two genuine lea...... hiện toàn bộ

Identifying design values across countries through adaptive comparative judgmentInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 30 - Trang 321-347 - 2019
Scott Ronald Bartholomew, Emily Yoshikawa Ruesch, Eva Hartell, Greg J. Strimel
Adaptive comparative judgment (ACJ) has proven to be a valid, reliable, and feasible method for assessing student performance in open-ended design scenarios. In addition to the use of ACJ for purely assessment and evaluation, research has demonstrated an opportunity to identify the design values of judges involved with the ACJ process. The potential for ACJ, as a tool for understanding cultural de...... hiện toàn bộ
Examining how technology is presented and understood in technology education: a pilot study in a preschool classInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 31 - Trang 885-900 - 2020
Annie-Maj Johansson
The aim of the research is to examine how technology is communicated in technology education in relation to humans, society and nature in preschool class. According to the Swedish curriculum for preschool class, pupils should be given the opportunity to explore, ask questions and discuss technology and how the choices of people affect sustainable development. Teachers make different choices about,...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of mental models in collaborative sketchingInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 25 - Trang 121-136 - 2014
Wei Xiang, Lingyun Sun, Shi Chen, Zhiyuan Yang, Zheng Liu
Designers often collaborate to explore creative ideas, especially during the early stages of conceptual design, and their mental models, as the framework of design tasks, greatly influence the collaborative sketching process. Such models have multiple kinds of differences and each kind might have unique effects, yet previous studies analyzed these differences as a whole and have reported only the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Towards a three-part heuristic framework for technology educationInternational Journal of Technology and Design Education - Tập 32 - Trang 1583-1604 - 2021
Charlotta Nordlöf, Per Norström, Gunnar Höst, Jonas Hallström
There is not one single global version of technology education; curricula and standards have different forms and content. This sometimes leads to difficulties in discussing and comparing technology education internationally. Existing philosophical frameworks of technological knowledge have not been used to any great extent in technology education. In response, the aim of this article is to constru...... hiện toàn bộ
