Sketching Engineering Design in STEM Classroom: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Numerous studies in the last two decades have attempted to explain the significant relationship between effects of freehand sketching especially in the initial phase of idea generation in engineering design process approach. However, freehand sketches are not favoured by novice designer while generating design task. This paper aim to map how sketching skills benefit STEMenriched learning environment and enabling visually communicated ideas to craft novelty solutions. This systematic review analysed nine papers that use sketch as design tool in STEM enriched engineering design activities. The literature is retrieved from established online database such as SCOPUS and EBSCOHOST. Sketch significantly proves as powerful tool in prompting visual ideas, reflect prior knowledge, aid communication and collaborative practise and engage active learning. The infancy of research using matured student sample, different ethnic and social economic background will create interesting research opportunities in multiracial nation.

Trends and Factors Affecting Self-Efficacy among Teachers: A Systematic Literature Review

“…This systematic literature review method is analyzed with reference to the PRISMA frame flowchart for screening journal articles (Moher et al, 2009). The framework flow of PRISMA is comprised of four processes towards article selection which are identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Included (Zainuddin & Iksan, 2019). PRISMA guidelines help to improve the quality of reporting in synthesizing articles that have been published through systematic literature review.…”

Current Situation and Solutions to Improve the Quality of Teaching in Stem Education in General Schools: A Case Study in Some Northern Provinces of Vietnam

“…Implementing STEM is not without challenges. Across the globe, educators face issues related to curricular integration, resources, teacher training, and assessment (English & King, 2018;Siti et al, 2019). A study by Anthony Edward Kelly & Richard A. Lesh (2000) underscores the importance of professional development in ensuring teachers are wellequipped to facilitate interdisciplinary STEM learning.…”

Measuring preservice science teachers’ performance on engineering design process tasks: implications for fostering STEM education

“…In education, Mangold and Robinson (2013) described the EDP as an iterative decision-making process in which basic science, technology, math and engineering (STEM) ideas are applied to generate optimal solutions to meet a stated aim. Educators and researchers worldwide have promoted the integration of STEM in education, claiming it to be a catalyst for driving the global economy (Zainuddin & Iksan, 2019). The STEM approach is frequently combined with other approaches or learning models such as STEM project-based learning (Nurtanto, Pardjono, Widarto, & Ramdani, 2020), STEM problem-based learning (Tawfik, Trueman, & Lorz, 2014) and STEM through the EDP (Nurtanto et al, 2020;Sulaeman, Triwulandari, & Syam, 2022;Widiastuti, Oktavia, Lukad, & Sutrisno, 2022;Winarno et al, 2020).…”

“…They claim it provides a defined framework for designing and organizing courses; offers an appropriate platform for combining mathematics, science, technology and engineering; and provides students with practical challenges that reflect real-world tasks. Zainuddin and Iksan (2019) found that individually and collaboratively, students were able to design innovative solutions when engaged with engineering design activities.…”
