20.500.12556/RUL-175011 Investigating how a technology-enhanced, systems thinking-oriented engineering course influences students’ attitudes towards design and technology The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in students’ attitudes towards design and technology in different Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based learning environments for technical and engineering subjects. Students’ positive attitudes towards the subject can promote deeper knowledge transfer and reduce anxiety about technology. Teachers who have a positive attitude towards the subject tend to promote a high-quality learning process. A total of 44 students participated in this study, with the experimental group and the control group each consisting of 22 students. For this study, we used a quasi-experimental research design with pre- and post-tests and a control variable for ICT engagement. The results suggest that the technology-enhanced systems thinking approach has significant effects on perceptions of the difficulty of technology and engineering differences in students’ attitudes towards design and technology, while perceived autonomy in ICT use can increase motivation and engagement. Feeling competent in ICT use may increase perceived interest, awareness, and aspirations for design and technology and reduce tediousness and gender differences in technology and engineering. design technology and engineering technology-enhanced systems thinking attitudes towards design and technology ICT engagement technology teacher education tehnološko izpopolnjen sistem mišljenje oblikovanje in tehnika vključevanje IKT izobraževanje učiteljev samoocenjevanje bodoči vzgojitelji predšolske vzgoje višje in visokošolsko izobraževanje tehnika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-10-13 14:05:04 2025-10-13 14:05:06 2025-12-03 03:43:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 22 str. iss. 9, art. 1256 Vol. 15 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 378:62 2227-7102 10.3390/educsci15091256 252683523 RAZ_Kurent_Brina_2025.pdf RAZ_Kurent_Brina_2025.pdf 1 D8511896A0D59AA0B8795EE206BF5852 defc03f021134e98ebb3e8326bd76d6670d237c7e0b2090af40dfd80d1abd527 690428ad-a82d-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=219940 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15/9/1256 1 9a6501c3-a82c-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=219938 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
