  • 3D modeling as an activity for students of both genders and different learning styles [Elektronski vir]
    Šafhalter, Andrej
    Developments in neuroscience and the understanding of the cognitive process of children are revealing new teaching possibilities, and providing the ability to adapt to individual differences in ... children. Students can, accordingly, be classified into three cognitive styles based on the pronounced activity of one brain hemisphere in their thinking and information processing: left-hemisphere, right-hemisphere, and integrative who do not display a dominant hemisphere. Likewise, they can be divided according to their cognitive representation system or sensory modalities of the VAKOG classification. The purpose of the research was to establish variations in the progress of spatial ability based on the use of 3D modeling between students of different learning styles, as classified by their cognitive and information interpretation tendencies. Used during technical subject classes in primary school, computerized 3D modeling may influence the spatial ability of students, which appears to be predominantly connected with the right brain hemisphere. Research was conducted among students in the 11-15 age group from various primary schools across Slovenia. Data on spatial ability and its development was obtained using initial and final hybrid tests of spatial ability taken during two separate time periods, while the assessment of the perceptive style and cognitive style of students according to hemispheric dominance was performed on the basis of a self-evaluation questionnaire. 3D modeling was done with the software Trimble SketchUp.
