Ilhan, Aziz; Tutak, Tayfun – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that measures mathematical visualization perceptions for mathematics teacher candidates. Therefore, the type of study is a survey research. Research was carried out with 462 (336 Female, 125 Male) mathematics teacher candidates from a university located in the Eastern…

Kim, Minsung; Bednarz, Robert – Journal of Geography, 2013
This study identified five subdimensions of spatial habits of mind--pattern recognition, spatial description, visualization, spatial concept use, and spatial tool use--and created an inventory to measure them. In addition, the effects of GIS learning on spatial habits of mind were investigated. Pre- and post-tests were conducted at the beginning…

Psychometric Properties of the Revised Purdue Spatial Visualization Tests: Visualization of Rotations (The Revised PSVT-R)
Direct linkDirect link
Yoon, So Yoon – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Working under classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) frameworks, this study investigated psychometric properties of the Revised Purdue Spatial Visualization Tests: Visualization of Rotations (Revised PSVT:R). The original version, the PSVT:R was designed by Guay (1976) to measure spatial visualization ability in…

Measuring and Validating Cognitive Modifiabilty as an Ability: A Study in the Spatial Domain.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Embretson, Susan E. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1992
New developments for solving the validation problem are applied to measuring and validating spatial modifiability. Results from 582 Air Force recruits support construct and criterion-related validities for the cognitive modifiability of spatial visualization items. Results also support modifiability as a direct measurement of learning ability.…

The Construct Validity of the Rod and Frame Test.
Schroeder, David H. – 1991
This study examined the construct validity of the Rod and Frame Test (RFT). Subjects were 554 clients (269 males and 285 females) (aged 14 to 65 years) of the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation (JOCRF), a vocational guidance service. In a battery of diverse ability and style tests (19 tests of the JOCRF battery and 4 tests of cognitive style),…

The Validation of Selected Spatial Ability Tests via Correlational Assessment and Analysis of User-Processing Strategy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kovac, Ron J. – Educational Research Quarterly, 1989
The construct validity of three spatial ability tests was assessed by determining the correlation between the test results and student class grades in various subjects for 58 eighth graders enrolled at the Burris Laboratory School, Ball State University (Muncie, Indiana). Results do not strongly support any of the tests evaluated. (SLD)
