Kristin Bartlett – ProQuest LLC, 2023
At the highest level, this dissertation is a case study on how bias can become encoded into the tools used to measure a construct and into the very definition of the construct itself. In this case, the construct is spatial ability. This dissertation focuses on the validity and accuracy of spatial tests and illuminates gender bias that is…

Badmus, Olalekan Taofeek; Jita, Loyiso C. – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
This study investigated pedagogical implication of spatial visualization as correlate of students' achievement in physics. Ex post facto research of the co-relational type with 857 senior secondary school three (S. S. 3) participants comprising of male and female students from both public and private-schools from Kwara State, Nigeria. Four…

Maeda, Yukiko; Yoon, So Yoon – Educational Psychology Review, 2013
This meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the magnitude of gender difference in three-dimensional (3-D) mental rotation ability and to investigate how factors related to test administration conditions play a role in varying gender difference effect sizes and threatening validity. Individuals' 3-D mental rotation ability was measured by the…

Cohen, Cheryl A.; Hegarty, Mary – Learning and Individual Differences, 2012
A new spatial ability test was administered online to 223 undergraduate students enrolled in introductory science courses. The 30-item multiple choice test measures individual differences in ability to identify the two-dimensional cross section of a three-dimensional geometric solid, a skill that has been identified as important in science,…

Stumpf, Heinrich; Mills, Carol J.; Brody, Linda E.; Baxley, Philip G. – Roeper Review, 2013
The importance of spatial ability for success in a variety of domains, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), is widely acknowledged. Yet, students with high spatial ability are rarely identified, as Talent Searches for academically talented students focus on identifying high mathematical and verbal abilities.…

Veurink, N.; Sorby, S. A. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2012
Spatial skills have been shown to be important to success in an engineering curriculum, and some question if poor spatial skills prevent students from entering STEM fields or if students with weak spatial skills avoid engineering disciplines believed to highly spatially-oriented. Veurink and Hamlin (2011) found that freshmen students entering…

Hindal, Huda; Reid, Norman; Whitehead, Rex – European Journal of Educational Research, 2013
It is well established that girls and boys perform differently in traditional examinations in most countries. This study looks at a sample of 754 school students in Kuwait (aged about 13) and explores how boys and girls differ in the performance in a range of tests related to learner characteristics. The fundamental question is how boys and girls…
