Situating multi‐modal approaches in engineering education research

Abstract: BACKGROUNDTraditionally, engineering education researchers rely on quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-or multi-method approaches for their research designs, each with its nuances, set of rules, and worldviews. Here we present a new approach that is yet to be widely accepted in engineering education research (EER): namely the multi-modal approach. This guest editorial is particularly timely because, in 2020, the EER taxonomy underwent a revision (Version 1.2), where the term "multi-modal approaches" was added… Show more

“…However, we argue that using these educational technology tools and new modalities should be contingent on many factors, including how these tools are related to students' course engagement and content [40]. Based on existing literature that suggests that positive experiences enhance students' motivational aspects, we urge to investigate the relationship of new methods of instruction with students motivational constructs, including engagement [41]. We argue that without such evaluations, the continuous use of unrelated perspectives may result in frustrating and stressful students' experiences.…”

“…Finally, future research can also include students' ethnicity and other demographic profile-based variables. For a better comprehensive understanding, of process data, non-cognitive markers, and demographic variables, future studies may use multi-level research methods with a larger sample [15].…”

“…Although the approach is closer to mixed methods, we used a multimethod approach. Future studies can consider a more holistic examination of students' engagement and perception using multi-modal approaches [35], [36]. Also, the approach could have considered a defined quantitative and qualitative phase with a larger sample for the quantitative phase.…”
