The Malleability of Spatial Ability under Treatment of a FIRST LEGO League-Based Robotics Unit
Direct linkDirect link
Coxon, Steven Vincent – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Spatial ability is important to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) success, but spatial talents are rarely developed in schools. Likewise, the gifted may become STEM innovators, but they are rarely provided with pedagogy appropriate to develop their abilities in schools. A stratified random sample of volunteer participants (n = 75)…
