Guo, Shouchao; Wang, Xiao; Deng, Wenbo; Hong, Jialing; Wang, Jiawen; Wu, Yonghe – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
Three-dimensional (3D) design can improve students' spatial ability, but the research on the differences of spatial ability development after 3D design training for students with different initial spatial ability is not unified. The ability-as-enhancer hypothesis and the ability-as-compensator hypothesis explain the performance differences of…

Brannon, Megan E. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of design thinking instruction on the creativity of preservice teachers. Preservice teachers took part in a two-week unit on 3D printing as a part of their regular instruction in an educational technology course. The experimental group was introduced to design thinking instruction as a framework…

Marja-Leena Rönkkö; Juli-Anna Aerila; Tuula Stenius – Design and Technology Education, 2025
This study explores humour's role in a holistic craft process when 7-8-year-olds design personalised soft toys. Humour enhances learning environments by fostering joy, belonging and a positive atmosphere, acting as a motivational tool in experiential and arts-based learning. The study aims to answer the following questions: (1) What are the…

Ryan He; Melinda Tidrick – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An increased reliance on nanotechnology and recent developments in materials fabrication coincide with a greater prevalence of 3D printers in high schools. We developed this lesson to foster an exploration of interdisciplinary fields and to increase access to recent advances in materials chemistry through two different learning modules. The lab…

Lin, Kuen-Yi; Lu, Shao-Chuan; Hsiao, Hsien-Hsien; Kao, Chia-Pin; Williams, P. John – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Over the past few years, digital fabrication has been utilized in technology laboratories to emphasize hands-on learning processes in technology and engineering education. Recent studies indicate that hands-on activities can help students connect with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and develop key skills…

Dominguez-Reyes, R.; Moreno, L.; Munoz-Sanchez, A.; Ruiz Mezcua, B.; Savoini, B. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This article presents the design, creation, testing, and results after the use of a 3-D-printed educational tool that helped a blind student learning electric circuits theory in higher education. Background: Educational tools oriented to visually impaired and blind students in higher education are limited or even nonexistent in the…

Pearson, Heather Ann; Dubé, Adam Kenneth – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
3D printing is an emerging educational technology that is said to prepare learners for a more technologically designed world. In this review, 3D printing studies are analyzed to identify the dominant theoretical approaches and learning outcomes associated with 3D printing in education. Five theories are identified, including situated learning…

Knochel, Aaron D.; Meeken, Luke – European Journal of STEM Education, 2021
We review the development of a mobile makerspace platform focused on digital fabrication in particular additive manufacturing (AM) or what is more commonly referred to as 3D printing. We engage in a reflexive analysis of our curriculum development as a part of the iterative process of this design-based research project. We review the component…

O'Reilly, James; Barry, Brendan – Irish Educational Studies, 2023
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing are not new technologies but are technologies which, in recent years, have become more accessible to hobbyists and enthusiasts. Engaging with these technologies allows the user to investigate and manipulate virtual and physical 3D shapes, which may affect spatial awareness. The literature suggests that…

Crowe, Charles D.; Hendrickson-Stives, Albanie K.; Kuhn, Stephanie L.; Jackson, Jennifer B.; Keating, Christine D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The interaction between water and surfaces is observed in our daily lives and is used in laboratories to study materials properties, such as interfacial tension. Making the connection between fundamental scientific phenomena and everyday observations is a powerful method of highlighting the importance and relevance of science to the K-12…

Friend, Lesley; Mills, Kathy A. – Learning, Media and Technology, 2021
This research examined the role of touch in creative media production in the context of educational and community makerspaces. Touch, while only recently explored in digital media production, is a crucial perceptive sense through which to experience the world, particularly in two- and three-dimensional making, and to explore texture, temperature,…

Finch, Lila; Moreno, Celeste; Shapiro, R. Benjamin – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
Creating learning environments that integrate arts, sciences, and computing in education can improve learning in these disciplines. In particular, transdisciplinary integrations of these disciplines can lead to expansive alterations or dissolutions of epistemological, ideological, and methodological boundaries. We wish to support teachers in the…
