Spatial cognition in engineering education: developing a spatial ability framework to support the translation of theory into practice.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2019)
A substantial degree of empirical evidence has illustrated the correlation between spatial skills and performance in engineering education. This evidence has been foundational in the construction of educational interventions ...
The validity and reliability of online testing for the assessment of spatial ability.
(ASEE, 2016-10)
The assessment of spatial skills offers significant insight into cognitive capacities associated
with disciplines such as graphics, engineering and design. The operationalization of this
assessment is typically seen in ...
Developing a methodological approach to measure cognitive load during complex problem solving.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
Problem solving is an important element of engineering and technology disciplines and spatial
ability contributes to learners’ success in problem solving in these areas (Wai, et al., 2009). As
excessive cognitive load ...
Visualizing success: investigating the relationship between ability and self-efficacy in the domain of visual processing.
(ASEE, 2016-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial reasoning capacities and related selfefficacy
beliefs of student teachers. In recent years self-efficacy has been a focal point for those
investigating various modes ...
Visualization, inductive reasoning, and memory span as components of fluid intelligence: implications for technology education.
(Elsevier, 2018)
The philosophy and epistemology of technology education are relatively unique as the subject largely focusses on acquiring task specific relevant knowledge rather than having an explicit epistemological discipline boundary. ...
Developing a spatial ability framework to support spatial ability research in engineering education.
(REES, 2015-08)
The association between high levels of spatial cognition and success
in a number of engineering and technological fields is widely acknowledged
within the pertinent literature. There is a now a need for further investigation ...
Examining the relationship between spatial ability and cognitive load during complex problem solving
(PATT, 2022-06-21)
Spatial ability is documented as a predictor of success in STEM disciplines and noted to contribute
to individuals problem-solving approaches. While there is a significant body of correlational
evidence indicating that ...
Investigating the role of spatial ability as a factor of human intelligence in technology education: towards a casual theory of the relationship between spatial ability and STEM education.
(KTH Royal Institute of Technology., 2018)
Education is a particularly complex discipline due to the numerous variables which impact on teaching and learning. Due to the large effect of human intelligence on the variance in student educational achievement, there ...
