This meta-analysis synthesized 18 qualified studies, resulting in 29 effect sizes. This study involved a total sample of 1,280 students to evaluate the effectiveness of Engineering Design Process (EDP)-based instructional approaches in STEM education. Eligible studies were systematically selected through inclusion and exclusion criteria following…

The design and analysis of experiments (DOE) has historically been an important part of an education in statistics, and with the increasing complexity of modern production processes and the advent of large-scale online experiments, it continues to be highly relevant. In this article, we provide an extensive review of the literature on DOE…

Algorithm design is a vital skill developed in most undergraduate Computer Science (CS) programs, but few research studies focus on pedagogy related to algorithms coursework. To understand the work that has been done in the area, we present a systematic survey and literature review of CS Education studies. We search for research that is both…

There is a gap between the importance of certain archeological material sources and their perception, both by professionals and by the general public. Textiles, for example, are essential to understanding practices that marked daily life and rituals in the past, but they have often been extremely degraded over time, particularly in temperate…

Micro-inquiries are a streamlined adaptation of the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) and C3 Framework that break down rich, meaningful content and skill explorations into short lessons that teachers can include in "less" than a single lesson. Recognizing that full IDM implementations can be time-consuming and challenging for elementary…

Active learning strategies engage students and promote student-centered learning environments. Implementing active learning in a HyFlex environment during the Fall of 2020 global pandemic was challenging. We describe the "Interactive Synchronous HyFlex" approach to teaching design thinking at the introductory college level and explore…

Purpose: This paper aims to analyze how a tangram activity improved students' abilities to explain sustainability, articulate a positive perception of sustainable design and relate sustainability with innovation in engineering design. Design/methodology/approach: The concept of paradigm shift was introduced in the classroom by using a tangram…

This systematic literature review presents a review of the effects of integrated language arts, science and technology (ILS&T) instruction, with an inquiry- or design-based pedagogy, in elementary schools on student achievement. To this end, an overview of the characteristics of the 19 included studies and their interventions is first…

The interweaving of various societal challenges into polycrisis makes resolving nowadays wicked problems increasingly complex, asking for a transformation of both our design and our education practices in the Global North. In this paper, we describe why and how we are developing and researching a multi-actor educational and learning environment…

The Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards propose that students learn concepts and practices related to engineering as well as science. Currently the research surrounding how engineering practices through engineering design are implemented in the life sciences such as high school biology is limited. To…

Under the rapid development of higher vocational colleges in China, design subject was receiving increasing number of students and confronting the necessity of improving teaching efficiency. Informational technology, regarded as an effective approach in many areas, was investigated for its impact on the design teaching efficiency and evaluated its…

Contribution: This article presents a novel approach that demonstrates how students' learning can be improved by increasing classroom adherence to active learning (AL) application, in a typical engineering education (EE) environment. It does that by using classroom observation protocol data and student assessment grades analyzed by a statistical…

Desired affordances and appropriate product semantics are important when considering products that are easy to use and easy to understand. Despite affordances and product semantics being taught in some design educations, many designers in industry do not explicitly consider affordances nor product semantics during the design process. This is…

The project-based learning using design thinking model via metaverse to enhance Buddhism innovators is integrating project-based and design thinking processes. Besides, using technology in the virtual world promotes learning activities. The model focused on allowing learners to study independently with instructors as counselors and facilitating…

This study explores the project-based learning (PjbL) of middle school teachers by examining their instructional context and the project design and management strategies they used to implement PjbL. The significance of this study is to provide middle school teachers with greater perception, insight, and strategies about how the quality of their…
