Engineering Design
How many steps are there in the Engineering Design Process?
7 steps
What does CER stand for?
Claim Evidence Reasoning
What are the 5 steps?
Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate
What are the 4 roles in collaborative learning?
Overseer, Presenter, Data collector, and Facilitator
What is a gallery walk?
A gallery walk is an interactive teaching strategy where students move around the classroom to observe, discuss, and provide feedback on each other’s work displayed like an art gallery.
What are the steps of Engineering Design Cycle?
Ask > Research > Imagine > Plan > Create > Test > Improve
What is a claim?
A statement or conclusion that answers the original question or problem.
What is the purpose of Engage?
Capture interest, activate prior knowledge, and raise curiosity.
Who is responsible for time management and ensuring the team stays focused on each step?
Overseer
What are the three PISA competencies that school students are assessed?
Reading, Mathematical, and Scientific
What is the purpose of the Imagine step?
To develop possible solutions
What is Evidence?
Data or observations that support the claim.
What is the purpose of Explore?
Let students investigate or experiment through hands-on or inquiry activities.
Who is in charge of recording all observations and information throughout the activity?
Data collector
What is the Learning Triangle?
Learning outcomes, Learning methods, and Assessment
What is the purpose of the "Plan" step?
To select a promising solution to work on
What is Reasoning?
A justification that connects the evidence to the claim using scientific principles or logical thinking.
Extend understanding by applying it to new situations or problems.
What is the I personality and how it relates to the roles in collaborative learning?
Expressive & People-focused, serving as the spokesperson for the team during class discussions and presentations.
What are the components of PISA science competencies?
What are pedagogical implications of this learning model?
The engineering design process emphasises open-ended problem solving and encourages students to learn from failure. This process nurtures students’ abilities to create innovative solutions to challenges in any subject!
Why is it important for students to gain CER-based activities?
Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) is a writing framework often used in scientific explanations to help structure clear, logical arguments.
What are educational implications of 5E inquiry-based learning in science education?
The 5E Inquiry-Based Learning Model is a teaching framework designed to engage students in deep, active learning. It is especially common in science and STEM education and aligns well with constructivist theories of learning.
Explain the DISC model
The DISC model categorises behavior into four types: Dominance (direct and results-driven), Influence (social and enthusiastic), Steadiness (calm and supportive), and Conscientiousness (precise and analytical).
What is 3-dimensional learning?
An approach to science education that integrates core concepts, scientific practices, and crosscutting themes to help students understand not just what science is, but how it works and why it matters.
