The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of applications created using a web-based 3D design environment on the spatial visualisation and mental rotation abilities of secondary school students. A total of 63 school students from the sixth grade participated in the study. The researchers applied a mixed research method including both quantitative and qualitative measures. The Spatial Visualisation Test, Mental Rotation Test, and Santa Barbara Solids Test, which concurrently measure spatial orientation and spatial relations, were used as tools to measure the different components of spatial ability prior to and after the treatment application. Following the treatment, a focus group interview using structured questions was conducted. A statistically significant difference showed an increase in all three test scores of the students; also, the students stated that they were satisfied with being able to design and create something new.

使用基于Web的3D设计环境对中学生空间可视化和心理旋转能力的影响

这项研究的目的是调查使用基于Web的3D设计环境创建的应用程序对中学生的空间可视化和心理旋转能力的影响。六年级共有63名学生参加了这项研究。研究人员采用了混合研究方法，包括定量和定性方法。空间可视化测试，心理旋转测试和圣塔芭芭拉固体测试同时测量空间的方向和空间关系，被用作测量在治疗前后的空间能力的不同组成部分的工具。治疗后，使用结构化问题进行了焦点小组访谈。统计学上的显着差异表明，学生的所有三个测验分数均增加；也，
