New #publication#Engineering Students' Thinking About Technical Systems: An #Ontological Categories Approach” published #openaccess in @FrontEducation doi.org/10.3389/feduc.… | @TU_Muenchen Image
(2) Our paper aims at identifying ontological categories as higher-order #knowledge structures that underlie engineering students' thinking about technical systems.
(3) Derived from interviews, these ontological categories include, inter alia, a focus on the #behavior, #structure, or #purpose of a #technical system.
(4) We designed a paper-based test to assess these ontological categories in a sample of 340 first-year students in different engineering disciplines. Based on their activation patterns across ontological categories, students clustered into six different ontological profiles.
(5) #Study program, #gender as well as objective and self-perceived #cognitive abilities were associated with differences in jointly activated ontological categories. Additional idiosyncratic influences and experiences, however, seemed to play a more important role.
(6) Our results can inform university instruction and support successful co-operation in engineering.

Interesting new study on "#Congruency Effects and #Numerical #Distance in #Fraction #Comparison by Expert Undergraduate Students" by @dmaxgomez and colleagues, published #openaccess in @FrontPsychol doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.…
(2) Results suggest that the congruency strategy is inadequate to describe participants' performance, as congruent items turned out to be more difficult than incongruent ones when fractions had no common component.
(3) Yet, no sufficient evidence was found to show that the applicability of the gap thinking strategy modulated either accuracy rates or response times.
