Recent research suggests that drawing activities can help students learn concepts in the
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In particular …

Fostering students' spatial thinking skills holds great promise for improving Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Recent efforts have focused …

Recent studies have identified an incomplete student understanding of how elastic rebound
causes earthquakes. We hypothesized that realistic imaging of spatial patterns in ground …

There are limited studies on the impact of domain-specific self-efficacy on academic
achievements. The geospatial thinking ability is paramount to understand the relationship …

This study explores the efficacy of a professional development (PD) model that employs
lesson study to teach spatial ability skills in primary STEM education. The structure of the PD …

Scaled analog modeling (“sandbox modeling”) allows deformational processes, such as the
development of a mountain belt, to be observed in real time in a classroom setting. However …

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how learners describe what
factors lead learners to abandon a learning strategy and adopt another learning strategy …

Professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) often draw to
explore and communicate visual-spatial concepts. However, novice undergraduate students …
