Computational thinking (CT) is an essential component of critical skills for university students, representing the ability to analyze and solve problems. In accordance with constructivist learning theory and the core elements of cultivating CT, this research has developed a Project-Based Teaching approach with computational thinking as its focal…

Technology education aims to enhance students' technological literacy. Strengthening students' technological literacy through deliberations on technology can promote their engagement as citizens and encourage them to consider socio-scientific and sustainability issues related to technology in society.

This study explores engineering design students' perceptions of their agency for sustainability in a Danish problem- and project-based learning (PBL) context. A conceptual framework is proposed with three dimensions: personal, action, and contextual. Q methodology was adopted to investigate the subjective views of 24 first-year undergraduate…

This paper develops a Problem-Based Learning as a Service-Based Skills Development (PBL-SBSD) model that aims to meet student curriculum needs by providing them with lifelong skills while solving an identified real-life problem in their community. The paper introduces a six-stage cyclical model combining project-based learning (PBL) and…

Previous research has demonstrated that stereotypes associated with the female gender can impact technology and engineering education results. However, it remains unclear whether these stereotypes affect other relevant factors in technology and engineering education performance. The research used quantitative methods to investigate the correlation…

This study examines the impact of integrating Design Thinking and Maker Education into project-based learning (PBL) activities on primary school students' self-efficacy and motivation in Science, Technology, and Design. Drawing on Bandura's social cognitive theory, the study addresses the gap in empirical research at the primary education level,…
