Echeverri Jimenez, Emmanuel Iamsun – ProQuest LLC, 2022
At the molecular level, chemical processes involve the rearrangement of atoms in space and time. Students often struggle with visualizing the 3D spatial characteristics of molecules and transition states, as well as recognizing the dynamic nature of chemistry. Both visual spatial skills and representational competence should be explicitly trained…

Pham Sy Nam; Le Hong Thai; Zsolt Lavicza; Angelika Schmid; Tony Houghton – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
In the 11th-grade Vietnamese Mathematics Curriculum, students learn about parallel relations between planes in space. This is cognitively challenging for many students. Studies have shown difficulties relating to limited spatial imagination and drawing representations. The teacher's approach also causes difficulties for some students; for example,…
