Investigating Effect of Origami-Based Instruction on Elementary Students' Spatial Skills and Perceptions
Cakmak, Sedanur; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; KOÇ, YUSUF (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-02)
The authors' purpose was to investigate the effect of origami-based instruction on elementary students' spatial ability. The students' self-reported perceptions related to the origami-based instruction were also examined. Data was collected via purposive sampling techniques from students enrolled in a private elementary school. A spatial ability test (SAT) was used to measure the students' ability in mentally manipulating objects and their parts in 2- and 3-dimensional spaces. In addition to the SAT, reflec...
