Tangible programming tools (TPTs) are promising teaching aids in programming courses due to their interactivity and ability to enhance early childhood students' computational thinking, spatial reasoning, and executive function skills. However, it remains unclear whether TPTs support these skills simultaneously. This study examines the impact of…

Kathryn Lanouette; Sarah Van Wart; Tapan S. Parikh – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing focus on spatial technologies in teaching and learning, revealing the potential to support new forms of youth sensemaking across varied settings and modalities. Recent scholarship has shown the possibilities of participatory digital mapping technologies, enabling young people to collect data…

Kara, Cihan; Coskun, Kerem; Coskun, Meral – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2022
The purpose of the present research is to develop a visual-spatial ability test (VSAT) for primary school children. Visual-spatial abilities allow processing of information about an object in terms of shape, colour, texture, perspective, and rotation. The visual-spatial test includes items-tasks for the participants to process information about…

Hong, Injae; Kim, Min-Shik; Jeong, Su Keun – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The visual system can learn statistical regularities and form search habits that guide attention to a region where a target frequently appears. Although regularities in the real world can change over time, little is known about how such changes affect habit learning. Using a location probability learning task, we demonstrated that a constant…

Mendez-Lopez, Magdalena; Juan, M. Carmen; Molla, Ramon; Fidalgo, Camino – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
Neuroanatomy is difficult for psychology students because of spatial visualization and the relationship among brain structures. Some technologies have been implemented to facilitate the learning of anatomy using three-dimensional (3D) visualization of anatomy contents. Augmented reality (AR) is a promising technology in this field. A mobile AR…

Rocha, Kelsey; Lussier, Catherine M.; Atit, Kinnari – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Spatial skills are critical for student success in K-12 STEM education. Teachers' spatial skills and feelings about completing spatial tasks influence students' spatial and STEM learning at both the primary and secondary levels. However, whether spatial skills and spatial anxiety differ or not between these two teacher levels is unknown.…

Goldhagen, Gillian Blake – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Chapter 1 is a seismic study of the mantle structure of the passive margin of northeastern North America. This region experienced multiple episodes of rifting and orogenesis in the past, and the study aims to understand how the Wilson Cycle impacts the geometry of the upper mantle seismic structure beneath southern New England using Sp receiver…

This study enquires into the embodied processes of children in solving multiplication tasks, considering how such processes can expand access to spatial reasoning skills and simultaneously develop students' understanding of multiplication. The analysis focused on four Year 2 students as they completed two embodied tasks. The aim was to understand…

Wei, Huimin; Liu, Lu; Zeng, Siying; Xie, Shumin; Xu, Yanhua; Lu, Xiaoxu – Journal of Geography, 2022
This study examined how the family capital of upper secondary school students impacted on their geospatial thinking skills and explored the mediating effect of their academic achievement in geography. A total of 1,018 upper secondary school students participated. The results of our mediation analysis conducted using the PROCESS modeling tool…

Dogan, Dilek; Demir, Ömer; Tüzün, Hakan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
This study aims to examine the situational flow experiences of students creating 3D designs in 3D multi-user virtual environments. This time series quasi-experimental study included 40 volunteer junior students who studied at the Computer Education and Instructional Technology department and had taken the elective course of "Instructional…

Borzekowski, Dina L. G.; Chale, Mussa L.; Cole, Charlotte – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2022
Along with emerging literacy and numeracy, spatial skills and reasoning set the foundation for young children's school readiness and early education. This study explored introducing an innovative curriculum for promoting young children's spatial learning in Morogoro, Tanzania. Four hundred twenty-eight children from 21 schools participated; 11…

Vela, Katherine N.; Parslow, Michelle; Hagevik, Rita; Trundle, Kathy Cabe – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
When students see mathematics as an integrated field of study, they make connections, gain a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, and see mathematics as a whole rather than disconnected, unrelated ideas. Measurement concepts are the perfect "seed to plant" to show how different mathematical strands integrate within other…

Hyland, William E.; Hoff, Kevin A.; Rounds, James – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
Cognitive abilities and interests both play an important role in guiding knowledge acquisition, but most previous studies have examined them separately. The current study used a large and representative dataset to integrate interests and abilities using a person-centered approach that examines how distinct profiles of interests and abilities…

Chen, Edward H.; Bailey, Drew H.; Jaeggi, Susanne M. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Several working memory processes have been hypothesized to influence different arithmetic operations. Working memory has been compartmentalized into a number of different sub-processes, such as phonological memory and visuospatial memory that are believed to have unique contributions to the performance of two distinct arithmetic operations:…

Self-regulation is a widely studied construct, generally assumed to be cognitively supported by executive functions (EFs). There is a lack of clarity and consensus over the roles of specific components of EFs in self-regulation. The current study examines the relations between performance on (a) a self-regulation task (Heads, Toes, Knees Shoulders…
