Virtual reality (VR) can promote design performance, and may generate a high cognitive load and affect creative design thinking as well. In order to examine the effect of VR application on cognitive load and engineering design creativity, this study recruited 81 eighth-grade students as participants and employed a non-equivalent-groups…

Zhong, Baichang; Zheng, Jijun; Zhan, Zehui – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study examined the effects of virtual and physical robots (VPR) using in different learning stages (simple session/complex session) in a robotics programming course. A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 84 junior high school students from two classes. One class with 44 students used combination of VPR strategy for learning,…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Elluri, Sindhura; Dasgupta, Chandan; Seah, Ying Ying; Madamanchi, Aasakiran; Boutin, Mireille – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
In science and engineering education, the use of heuristics has been introduced as a way of understanding the world, and as a way to approach problem-solving and design. However, important consequences for the use of heuristics are that they do not always guarantee a correct solution. Learning by Design has been identified as a pedagogical…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Chiu, Jennifer; Ying Seah, Ying; Bywater, James P.; Schimpf, Corey; Karabiyik, Tugba; Rebello, Sanjay; Xie, Charles – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This multiple case study focused on the implementation of a computer-aided design (CAD) simulation to help students engage in engineering design to learn science concepts. Our findings describe three case studies that adopted the same learning design and adapted it to three different populations, settings, and classroom contexts: at the…

Jen, Tessaly; Morales, Christina; Greenwald, Eric; Montgomery, Ryan; Loper, Suzanna; Barber, Jacqueline – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
The United States' Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) elevate engineering design to the same stature as scientific inquiry, calling on science teachers to engage students in engineering practices to solve real-world problems. In response, researchers and curriculum developers designed and studied Virtual Engineering Internships (VEIs) to…

Gorlewicz, Jenna L.; Kratchman, Louis B.; Webster, Robert J., III – Advances in Engineering Education, 2014
The haptic paddle is a force-feedback joystick used at several universities in teaching System Dynamics, a core mechanical engineering undergraduate course where students learn to model dynamic systems in several domains. A second goal of the haptic paddle is to increase the accessibility of robotics and haptics by providing a low-cost device for…
