Hsin-Yu Lee; Ting-Ting Wu; Chia-Ju Lin; Wei-Sheng Wang; Yueh-Min Huang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is essential for developing future-ready learners in both secondary and higher education levels. However, as students transition to higher education, many encounter challenges with independent learning and research. This can negatively impact their Higher-Order Thinking Skills…

Qing Guo; Junwen Zhen; Fenglin Wu; Yanting He; Cuilan Qiao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) presented opportunities for the transformation of science and STEM education. Research on LLMs was in the exploratory phase, characterized by discussions and observations rather than empirical investigations. This study presented a framework for incorporating LLMs into Science and Engineering…

Xing, Wanli; Li, Chenglu; Chen, Guanhua; Huang, Xudong; Chao, Jie; Massicotte, Joyce; Xie, Charles – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Integrating engineering design into K-12 curricula is increasingly important as engineering has been incorporated into many STEM education standards. However, the ill-structured and open-ended nature of engineering design makes it difficult for an instructor to keep track of the design processes of all students simultaneously and provide…

Zhong, Baichang; Si, Qiuju – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Studies have indicated the importance of scaffolding in the problem-solving process, as well as the potential of integrating learning content into the troubleshooting tasks. However, few have explored in depth the learning process during troubleshooting via scaffolds while also taking students' cognitive load into account. To address this issue,…

Karabulut-Ilgu, Aliye; Yao, Suhan; Savolainen, Peter; Jahren, Charles – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
The flipped-classroom approach has gained increasing popularity and interest in engineering education. The purpose of this study was to investigate (a) student perspectives on the flipped-classroom approach in a transportation-engineering course and (b) how students used the in-class time dedicated to collaborative problem solving. To this end,…
