Jiayi Weng; Huihua He; Yu Xue; Miaomiao Guo; Chunxia Wu – Early Education and Development, 2024
"Research Findings:" Pattern creation (PC) is creating a pattern unit based on children's own understanding of the concept of pattern, without being provided with a pattern unit as a reference, and the repetition of this pattern unit to create a complete structure. This study explored the performance and predictors of pattern creation…

Julie Alderton; Gwen Ineson; Gina Donaldson; Tim Rowland; Chronoula Voutsina; Kirsty Wilson – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Finding opportunities for elementary preservice teachers to engage in mathematics for themselves and to collaborate in their enquiries was the focus of this study, carried out at two English Universities. Preservice teachers on 1-year postgraduate programmes engaged in shared mathematics enquiry, with a focus on growing patterns. We conducted…

Lauren Baade; Effie Kartsonaki; Hassan Khosravi; Gwendolyn A. Lawrie – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Effective learning in chemistry education requires students to understand visual representations across multiple conceptual levels. Essential to this process are visuospatial skills which enable students to interpret and manipulate these representations effectively. These abilities allow students to construct mental models that support problem…

Asli Koçulu; Girgin, Sefika; Topsakal, Unsal Umdu – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
STEM education (based on the integration of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines) has recently been an integral part of education system and curriculum in many countries aiming to be more technologically competitive in this age of innovation. While the importance of STEM education has gradually increasing in education…

Weigelt, Matthias; Memmert, Daniel – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: The purpose was (1) to test a new version of a mental rotation task (MRT), which assesses mental rotation abilities of men and women for sport-specific items, and (2) to investigate potential differences in MRT performance, which are based on athletic expertise. Methods: Eighty-eight basketball experts (42 females) and 123 novices (64…

Sahin, Feride; Ates, Salih – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine whether the structural model that Sahin and Ates (2020) put forward about the relationship among students' scientific literacy levels, logical thinking ability, cognitive styles, mental capacity, and mental rotation ability differ in terms of gender. A causal-comparative model approach was used in this study.…

Lütke, Nikolay; Lange-Küttner, Christiane – Developmental Psychology, 2021
We investigated mental rotation in children by systematically varying the adult cube aggregate's set size, rotation angle, and picture/depth plane rotations in a new test. Eighty 4- to 11-year-old mainly middle-class children (British Indian and British African majority and white minority; 40 girls and 40 boys) were assessed using the new…

Suggate, Sebastian Paul; Martzog, Philipp – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
During typical childhood interactions with screen-media, two features are prominent. First, input is dominated by audio-visual signals and second, these predominately provide children with ready-made images, potentially negating effortful mental imagery construction. We present a two-year longitudinal study on a sample of 109 preschool children.…

Zhang, Zhengyan; Chen, Ying-Chih; He, Guangxi; She, Hsiao-Ching; Chen, Jhih-Cheng – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2023
This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable instrument, the Mental Images of Scientists Questionnaire (MISQ), and use the instrument to examine Chinese students' mental images of scientists' characters across school levels, regions, living settings, and gender. The final version of the MISQ consisted of four constructs: scientists' cognitive,…

Lu, Jijian; Tao, Yan; Xu, Jinghao; Stephens, Max – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study is the extension of our previous visualizing study on the commognition processes in computer-supported one-to-one tutoring. With the help of the scale of commognitive responsibility score, we found that the main triggers of the commognition process shift are the positive transfer of knowledge and cognitive conflict. On the basis of…

Vilnite, Fiona Mary; Marnauza, Mara – Music Education Research, 2023
Mental training has been employed successfully by experienced musicians, but rarely explored with younger learners. Considering its benefits, however, including the use and development of predictive, feedforward processes, identified in neuroscience as being central to playing a musical instrument, this mixed qualitative-quantitative study…

Kok, Petrus Jacobus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This research focused on first-year university students' visuospatial cognition in terms of producing three-dimensional (3D) representations of objects from two-dimensional (2D) views. The research was important since students often had difficulty with 2D to 3D transition activities. A synthesis from the literature established a 2D to 3D…

Gülbahçe, Öner – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2018
The purpose of this research was to compare mental and physical practice on acquisition of basketball free shot. Forty inexperienced boys were selected randomly by a revised questionnaire of motor imagery-making of Hall and Martin (1977). They were divided into 2 groups; an experimental group and a control one. Group one carried out the whole…

Fauziyah, Nur; Le Lant, Carol; Budayasa, I. Ketut; Juniati, Dwi – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
The cognition processes of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in solving mathematical problems is still rarely studied in depth, although the prevalence of the students is increasing. The purpose of this research was to describe the cognition processes of students with ASD in solving mathematical problems. The subjects in this research…

Ogunkola, Babalola; Knight, Carlos – Cogent Education, 2018
In this article, we examined whether technical drawing increased the mental rotation ability in 13- to 15-year-old students (N = 201). Students were pretested with the Mental Rotations Test. Later, a group of students was exposed to technical drawing for 10 weeks, which involved specific training with spatial activities and tasks, to increase…
