Do Our Hands See What Our Eyes See? Investigating Spatial and Haptic Abilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Sveistrup, Michelle A.; Langlois, Jean; Wilson, Timothy D. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Spatial abilities (SAs) are cognitive resources used to mentally manipulate representations of objects to solve problems. Haptic abilities (HAs) represent tactile interactions with real-world objects transforming somatic information into mental representations. Both are proposed to be factors in anatomy education, yet relationships between SAs and…

Multimodal Virtual Learning Environments: The Effects of Visuo-Haptic Simulations on Conceptual Learning
Direct linkDirect link
Anazco, Mayari I. Serrano – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Presently, it is possible to use virtual learning environments for simulating abstract and/or complex scientific concepts. Multimodal Virtual Learning Environments use multiple sensory stimuli, including haptic feedback, in the representation of concepts. Past research on the utilization of haptics for learning has shown inconsistent results when…

Sensory Perception and Descriptions of Morphological Characteristic of Vegetative Plant Organs by the Blind: Implementation in Teaching
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Andic, Branko; Cvjeticanin, Stanko; Maricic, Mirjana; Steševic, Danijela – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Although very rare, the existing research on the biological education of blind people indicates that teaching content is not fully in line with the sensory perception of that content by the blind. The aim of this study is to analyse the morphological details which the blind can register in multisensory plant research and to harmonise the…

Assimilative Domain Proficiency and Performance in Chemistry Coursework
Direct linkDirect link
Byrnes, Scott William – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The assimilation and synthesis of knowledge is essential for students to be successful in chemistry, yet not all students synthesize knowledge as intended. The study used the Learning Preference Checklist to classify students into one of three learning modalities--visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (VAK). It also used the Kolb Learning Style…

The Five Senses. Life Science in Action. Teacher's Manual and Workbook.
Lobb, Nancy; Roderman, Winifred Ho – 1982
The Science in Action series is designed to teach practical science concepts to special-needs students. It is intended to develop students' problem-solving skills by teaching them to observe, record, analyze, conclude, and predict. This document contains a student workbook which deals with basic principles of life science. Six separate units…
