  • Spatial ability’s contribution to pupils’ creative design performance

    Open AccessCaiwei Zhu, Dietsje Jolles et al.ARTICLEThinking Skills and Creativity2026

    Prior research examining the relationship between spatial ability and creative design performance among college students has yielded mixed findings. Even less is known about how spatial ability predicts creative design performance in younger pupils and how its role compares to other cognitive abilities commonly linked to design performance, such as creativity. This study examines how spatial ability, divergent thinking, and creative imagery abili…

  • Constructing and storytelling

    Open AccessLeonie Sonneveld, Remke Klapwijk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2024

    Spatial ability is malleable and belongs in the preschool. For preschoolers, many analytical activities with one correct answer such as tangram have been developed. Less is known about employing open-ended design assignments to creatively practice spatial thinking. Little attention has been paid to the mutual qualitative differences between children when engaged in spatial thinking and insight in children’s motivation is lacking. As design and pl…

  • Fostering spatial ability development in and for authentic STEM learning

    Open AccessCaiwei Zhu, Chloe Oi-Ying Leung et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    Empirical interdisciplinary research has explored the role of spatial ability in STEM learning and achievement. While most of this research indicates that fostering spatial thinking in educational contexts has the potential to positively impact students’ enrollment and performance in STEM subjects, there is less agreement on the best approach to do so. This article provides an overview of various types of effective spatial interventions and pract…

  • Cognitive and embodied mapping of data

    Open AccessCaiwei Zhu, Remke Klapwijk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    Understanding and effectively using visual representations is important to learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Various techniques to visualize information, such as two- and three-dimensional graphs, diagrams, and models, not only expand our capacity to work with different types of information but also actively recruit our visual–spatial thinking. Data physicalization is emerging as a beginner-friendly approach to co…
