Abstract: | Two studies were carried out to analyze whether learning technical drawing improves a person’s ability for spatial visualization.
Visualization and inductive reasoning tests were applied at the beginning and end of a course in technical drawing in samples
of first year engineering students. In both studies it was observed that a moderate percentage of students improved their
Visualization test execution. The improvement was similar in men and women. There was no improvement on the inductive reasoning
test. The results support the conclusion that the spatial visualization ability can be improved with training. |
