Guimarães, Bruno; Firmino-Machado, João; Tsisar, Stanislav; Viana, Benedita; Pinto-Sousa, Marco; Vieira-Marques, Pedro; Cruz-Correia, Ricardo; Ferreira, Maria Amélia – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
Currently, medical education context poses different challenges to anatomy, contributing to the introduction of new pedagogical approaches, such as computer-assisted learning (CAL). This approach provides insight into students' learning profiles and skills that enhance anatomy knowledge acquisition. To understand the influence of anatomy CAL on…

Sun, Koun Tem; Chen, Meng Hsun – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2019
From random interviews of mathematics teachers, the researchers are conscious that students have difficulties in solving problems regarding compound body volume measurement. The researchers found the main factor involved in the difficulties was incomplete spatial concepts. Augmented reality (AR), which is a kind of educational technology, has been…

Yang, Jie Chi; Chen, Sherry Y. – Computers & Education, 2010
Spatial ability is a critical skill in geometric learning. Several studies investigate how to use digital games to improve spatial abilities. However, not every learner favors this kind of support. To this end, there is a need to examine how human factors affect learners' reactions to the use of a digital game to support geometric learning. In…

Rafi, Ahmad; Samsudin, Khairulanuar – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
An experimental study involving 30 undergraduates (mean age = 20.5 years) in mental rotation (MR) training was conducted in an interactive Desktop Mental Rotation Trainer (iDeMRT). Stratified random sampling assigned students into one experimental group and one control group. The former trained in iDeMRT and the latter trained in conventional…

Rafi, Ahmad; Samsudin, Khairul Anuar; Ismail, Azniah – Educational Technology & Society, 2006
This study investigates the effectiveness of computer-mediated Engineering Drawing instruction in improving spatial ability namely spatial visualisation and mental rotation. A multi factorial quasi experimental design study was employed involving a cohort of 138, 20 year old average undergraduates. Three interventional treatments were…

Yeo, Kai Kow Joseph; Goh, See Khai Eric; Koh, Eric Zhen Feng – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2005
Teachers tend to design worksheets to assist their students to develop their spatial skills. Many secondary schools students may not have sufficient concrete experiences to tackle abstract reasoning in geometrical concepts competently. In addition, students who are non-visual and spatial learners may have difficulties in learning geometrical…
