Abstract

Given the importance of both hard and soft skills in the range of engineering skills, this study concerns the design of a teaching module for 1st graders about the energy systems’ functioning. The research question is “When teaching the concept of energy as an engineering subject in elementary school, what are (a) the conceptual and methodological content, and (b) the pedagogical context?”? To answer this question, the study follows an engineering pedagogy framework. Based on this analysis, we propose a teaching module for 1st graders, applied in a pilot phase. This phase is used to assess the feasibility of implementation of the teaching module in real classroom setting.
