Rene Schmidt; Britta Stumpe – Review of Education, 2025
Augmented reality (AR) as a mobile educational technology enables self-directed and interactive learning by anchoring multimedia-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) content at selected locations. Numerous systematic and meta-reviews for education, specifically for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), have demonstrated a wide range…

National Assessment Governing Board, 2018
The purpose of geography education is to foster the development of citizens who will actively seek and systematically apply the knowledge and skills of geography in life situations. Geography education must be responsive to the abilities and needs of students and to the societal and workplace requirements of the community, the nation, and the…

Birns, Shayne L. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1986
A study involving 23 blind students (6-12 years old) revealed that age at onset of blindness did not appear to be critical in mastery of space concepts. One-third of the Ss exhibited atypical spatial development, g mastering relative positions of left and right before mirror-image orientation. (Author/CL)

Battersby, Sarah E.; Golledge, Reginald G.; Marsh, Meredith J. – Journal of Geography, 2006
In this paper, the authors evaluate map overlay, a concept central to geospatial thinking, to determine how it is naively and technically understood, as well as to identify when it is leaner innately. The evaluation is supported by results from studies at three grade levels to show the progression of incidentally learned geospatial knowledge as…

Crowther, Robert D.; Durkin, Kevin – Educational Studies, 1984
Educators have begun to consider the language used to address children in the mass media. Much of the language describing music is derived from spatial terminology, an area many children find difficult. This study found many incongruities and inconsistencies in how television and radio programs dealt with this problem. (Author/IS)

McDaniel, Ernest D.; Guay, Roland B. – 1976
This study examined the relationships between spatial ability, mathematics achievement, and sex for students in grades 2-7. Four spatial tests (embedded figures, serial integration, coordination of viewpoints, and rotation and development of surfaces) were used to measure spatial ability; sex and mathematics achievement, as measured by the Iowa…

Young, Jerry L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Some geometric activities are described that teachers can use to give their students experiences that will influence their spatial abilities. It is noted that the goal is to improve spatial abilities, not to increase knowledge, so individual pupil responses should not be used to judge student achievement. (MP)

Suydam, Marilyn N., Ed.; Kasten, Margaret L., Ed. – Investigations in Mathematics Education, 1982
The document opens with an editorial comment discussing the role of mathematics in teaching and learning. Then, 13 reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with problem solving, and another three look at aspects of cognitive development. There are two each on mathematics instruction,…

Dyche, Steven; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Raises questions regarding what students are perceiving when concrete models are used to represent abstract scientific concepts. Discussion of several exploratory investigations on the role of models in science teaching is presented in three areas: (1) interactions with students; (2) effectiveness of models; and (3) spatial ability and models.…

Reifschneider, Thomas J., Ed.; And Others – 1982
The papers in this monograph were presented at the first annual conference on theories and research related to learning styles, hemisphericity, and other cognitive-related issues in education. They include: (1) "The Microcomputer and Learning Theory" (Carl Edeburn); (2) "Poems Take Two Brains (or: Poetry Ain't for Halfwits)" (Jack Kreitzer); (3)…

Fennema, Elizabeth; And Others – 1980
Results from the first year of a three-year longitudinal study (grades 6-8) of sex-related differences are reported. The purposes of the study are: (1) to understand more adequately the impact of one important cognitive influence (Spatial Visualization) on the learning of mathematics, and (2) to identify educational influences on the development…

Macnab, W.; Johnstone, A. H. – Journal of Biological Education, 1990
Described are the results of a spatial skills test designed to assess processing from 2-D to 3-D, 3-D to 2-D, and orientation. Results indicated that different aspects of spatial ability did not develop at the same rate, and the 3-D to 2-D skill took the longest to develop. (CW)

Silver, Rawley A. – 1989
Handicapped children's potential to represent thoughts and feelings through visual forms is often overlooked. Intended for educators, therapists, psychologists, and physicians, the book focuses on art procedures found useful in developing concepts of space, of sequential order, and of class or group of objects. It also provides art techniques for…

Coleman, Sharon L.; Gotch, Albert J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1998
This study examined the cognitive development of students enrolled in three levels of freshman chemistry courses and focused on changes in spatial ability over time. Results indicate that performance on general Piagetian-type tasks, including spatial visualization, can be refined through educational intervention. Concludes that students appear…
