An Embodied Cognition Approach To Collaborative Engineering Design Activities

Higher educational institutions have broadly adopted Collaborative Engineering Design (CED) activities to prepare students for complex problem-solving in multidisciplinary settings. These activities are non-linear and mediated by various social practices and tools. Therefore educators might struggle in facilitating the achievement of specific...

A Framework For Investigating The Application Of Educational Theories In Engineering Education Research

Grounding the design of educational interventions and their analysis in theory allows us to understand and interpret results of interventions and advance educational theories. Moreover, building an understanding of which educational theories are used and how they are used can build a consensus among researchers and mature the research in a field...

Student perceptions on a collaborative engineering design course

To adequately prepare engineering students for their professional career, educational institutions offer projects in which students collaboratively solve engineering design problems. It is known from research these projects can lead to a variety of learning outcomes and student experiences. However, studies that provide insights in the influence...

Embodied Design versus Dynamic Visualization: Benefits for a Far Transfer Problem Solving in Trigonometry

The development of digital technologies enables visualizations of many scientific relations. In this paper, we question the efficiency of the visualizing tools from a theoretical perspective that combines cultural-historical and radical embodied approaches. Dynamic visualizations expose the target relations in a ready-made form, while embodied...
