Kelsey E. Schenck; Mitchell J. Nathan – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Spatial skills can predict mathematics performance, with many researchers investigating how and why these skills are related. However, a literature review on spatial ability revealed a multiplicity of spatial taxonomies and analytical frameworks that lack convergence, presenting a confusing terrain for researchers to navigate. We expose two…

Jon Wai; Joni M. Lakin – Grantee Submission, 2024
Students' talent and potential cannot be served until they are recognized by schools or caregivers. While the field of gifted education has had success in identifying talent among many students with talents in reading and mathematics, those with spatial talents are often overlooked. This article reviews how we might identify spatial talent using…

Andrew Wass – Journal of Dance Education, 2024
Ensemble Thinking (ET) is a toolkit of movement scores developed by dance-maker Nina Martin in the 1980s in New York City. The scores of ET arose out of a confluence of Martin's choreographic and improvisational performance practices. The impetus for developing ET was to develop a technical language for creating and discussing improvised dance.…

Yanhua Xu; Ziqing Ou; Zhiting Wu; Yating Lin; Wei Zeng; Jiayan Yang; Jialu Li; Mengfan Shan; Yunqin Li – Journal of Geography, 2024
Measurement is significant in geospatial thinking research. This study evaluated the geospatial thinking of pre-service geography teachers through an orienteering design tasks and subjective evaluation methods. Moreover, it analyzed their level of geospatial thinking, difficulty of evaluation indicators and rater severity with the Many-Faceted…

Jay Loftus; Cassandra Barber; Timothy Wilson; Michele Jacobsen – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2025
Time is often an accommodation used to ensure equity during assessments. The assumption is that the provision of additional time would help learners who require accommodations. In this study we examined 29 learners of differing spatial ability on visual learning tasks using static and dynamic digital images. The performance and time required to…

Willis, Colin; Powell-Rudy, Tracy; Colley, Kelsie; Prasad, Joshua – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
Although people with autism are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, there is little theoretical or practical effort to determine whether traditional pre-employment assessments unfairly impact autistic job seekers. Due to the lack of emphasis on social communication, game-based assessments (GBAs) may offer a way of…

Maker, C. June – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2020
A persistent problem in education is underrepresentation of certain cultural and linguistic groups such as American Indian, African American, and Hispanic, in special programs for exceptionally talented students, especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The spatial analytical task, a performance-based assessment with…

Wang, Catherine; McWatt, Sean C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
As hours devoted to human anatomy curricula fall under threat and curricular delivery methods remain in flux, many new teaching innovations are emerging, which require comprehensive evaluation to ensure evidence-based teaching is maintained. Although grades are the predominant measure of 'learning', alternative metrics can assess more nuanced and…

Shinta Estri Wahyuningrum; Gilles van Luijtelaar; Augustina Sulastri; Marc P. H. Hendriks; Ridwan Sanjaya; Tom Heskes – SAGE Open, 2024
Visual Reproduction is a condition to measure Visual Spatial Memory as one of the cognitive domains commonly used to measure visuo-spatial memory. Geometric figures serve as stimulus material, and probands have to reproduce the figures from memory through a hand drawing. The scoring of the drawing has subjective elements. This study aims to…

Livy, Sharyn; Hamilton, Scott; Downton, Ann – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
The purpose of this article is to report how Year 6 teachers used geometric reasoning tasks to foster students' mathematical attitudes and dispositions by encouraging communication as students constructed mathematical meaning for themselves. The Year 6 teachers implemented two tasks to provide a rich mathematical assessment opportunity…

Badger, Julia R.; Mellanby, Jane – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
Background: School attainment tests and Cognitive Abilities Tests are used in the United Kingdom to set targets for educational outcome. Whilst these are good predictors, they depend not only on basic ability but also on learnt knowledge and skills, such as reading. Method and Aims: VESPARCH is an online group test of verbal and spatial reasoning,…

Jack Polifka – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The studies in this dissertation were conducted to better understand how to measure students' use of multiple representations in introductory science courses by expanding the possibilities of a variable representation assessment (VRA). The VRA is a computer-based assessment originally designed to measure general chemistry students' use of…

Fenesi, Barbara; Mackinnon, Chelsea; Cheng, Lucia; Kim, Joseph A.; Wainman, Bruce C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
The use of two-dimensional (2D) images is consistently used to prepare anatomy students for handling real specimen. This study examined whether the quality of 2D images is a critical component in anatomy learning. The visual clarity and consistency of 2D anatomical images was systematically manipulated to produce low-quality and high-quality…

Langlois, Jean; Bellemare, Christian; Toulouse, Josée; Wells, George A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
Anatomy knowledge has been found to include both spatial and non-spatial components. However, no systematic evaluation of studies relating spatial abilities and anatomy knowledge has been undertaken. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the relationship between spatial abilities test and anatomy knowledge assessment. A…
