Lin, Jing; Zhang, Letong; Neumann, Knut; Cheng, Ping-Han; Wei, Wenting; Chang, Chun-Yen – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2022
Scientific modeling (SM) is a core practice of science and an important component of scientific literacy. Supporting students in developing the competence to construct, use, evaluate, and revise models is hence of particular relevance. While research has shown that spatial visualization (SV), a core component of spatial ability, is correlated with…
