Abstract

Creativity, a crucial skill in the fourth industrial revolution (IR4.0) is highly demanded in the workforce to drive innovation in product design. Therefore, it is important to cultivate creativity in product design through design and technology (D&T) education. However, many past studies encountered challenges regarding D&T teachers’ teaching creativity which might affect creativity cultivation among students. Thus, this article aims to identify the challenges faced by D&T teachers in cultivating student creativity within product design development. Utilizing the systematic literature review (SLR) method using reporting standards for systematic evidence syntheses (ROSES) in three databases, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Based on thematic analysis, this SLR leads to three themes: i) lack of pedagogical competence; ii) different thinking styles; and iii) lack of motivation. Addressing these challenges highlights the importance for educational institutions to align their curricula with current industry demands, ensuring students are well-prepared to tackle the complexities of contemporary product design. This effort requires collaboration among educators, industry leaders, and policymakers to update teaching methods, incorporate practical experiences, and enhance an environment that cultivates creativity.

Abstract

The evolving landscape of engineering education requires the development of advanced cognitive skills, particularly complex problem-solving (CPS). As engineering challenges grow in complexity, CPS has become a vital competency. However, research on CPS in engineering education remains scattered. This study presents a systematic bibliometric analysis to uncover trends, key contributors, and thematic focuses in CPS-related research. Using the Scopus database and VOSviewer 1.6.20, the study analyzed publications based on co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence. The five-stage bibliometric approach by Masitoh et al. (2021) and Bukar et al. (2023) was adopted, encompassing keyword selection, data retrieval, screening, analysis, and visualization. Findings show a notable rise in CPS publications after 2010, peaking between 2022 and 2024. Dominant keywords include “active learning,” “simulation,” “artificial intelligence,” and “project-based learning,” indicating a shift toward AI-driven, technology-enhanced approaches. China, the United States, and India lead in research output, reflecting global efforts in reforming engineering education. The study highlights the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary and problem-based learning. Despite this momentum, regional disparities remain. Insights from this analysis are valuable for curriculum developers, educators, and policymakers to enhance CPS integration and guide future research toward more holistic and inclusive approaches

Abstract

Teachers’ acceptance of technology in the teaching setting is significantly influenced by their behavioral intention to utilize information and communication technology (ICT). A considerable amount of study has been done on the use of ICT in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Nevertheless, there exists a significant lack of deep studies among EFL teachers in Chinese vocational colleges. Drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) theoretical frameworks, this current study aimed to ascertain whether EFL teachers’ TPACK levels could predict their intention to adopt ICT. A quantitative study was conducted with the participation of 440 EFL instructors from vocational schools in Shandong Province. The seven components met the scale’s validity and reliability requirements and the partial least squares (PLS) approach was utilized to describe the structural model and examine the relationships among significant components. The findings revealed that EFL teachers’ perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and attitudes towards use (ATCU) significantly impacted their behavioral intention to use (BIU) ICT. Moreover, the TPACK framework exerted a substantial influence on their acceptance of ICT. The study’s findings may provide insights and resources for subsequent theoretical research and teaching approaches centered on enhancing the integration of technology in EFL education.

Abstract

immersive learning environments that enhance practical skills, engagement, and conceptual understanding. Despite its promise, AR adoption in TVET is still limited, often hindered by high costs, lack of infrastructure, and insufficient training for instructors. This scoping review explores how AR is being used in TVET settings, based on 17 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024 in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and PRISMA guidelines, the review identified three main themes: the benefits of AR in simulation-based learning and student engagement; key barriers including cost and technical challenges; and the importance of digital literacy and institutional support in successful implementation. While AR shows strong potential to bridge the gap between theory and hands-on practice, more needs to be done to ensure its sustainable use. The findings offer practical insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers, stressing the need for better infrastructure, continuous professional development, and more long-term studies to fully realize AR’s role in preparing students for modern industry demands.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing cross-border e-commerce enterprises’ willingness to engage in vocational education partnerships, addressing talent shortages and improving practical skills in vocational education. It contributes to the field by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to the collaboration between this emerging industry and vocational education, offering a novel perspective on the framework’s utility. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected through a survey of 401 cross-border e-commerce enterprises in Zhejiang Province, China. Key findings reveal that perceived benefits (PB) positively influence behavioral attitudes (BA), while perceived risks (PR) exert a negative effect. BA, subjective norms (peer influence (PI) and superior influence (SI)), and perceived behavioral control (self-efficacy and controllability) significantly predict cooperation intention (CI). These findings offer practical insights for policymakers and educational institutions. To promote effective collaboration, governments, and educational institutions should build trust through clear agreements and aligned expectations, while reducing PRs and enhancing PB. Additionally, providing training, consulting, and resource support can strengthen enterprises’ self-efficacy and controllability. Leveraging information sharing, promoting successful case studies, and utilizing the influence of peers and superiors will help mitigate uncertainties and enhance CI.
