“…For this reason, 3D modeling ISSN 1648-3898 /Print/ ISSN 2538-7138 /Online/ and design technologies can also offer great opportunities to gain innovative thinking skills to the students (Huang et al, 2019;Kostakis, Niaros & Giotitsas, 2015). In addition, 3D modeling and design education has begun to occupy an important place in STEM education and Maker movement, which are innovative teaching approaches (Bicer, Nite, Capraro, Barroso, Capraro, & Lee, 2017;Bull, Chiu, Berry, Lipson, & Xie, 2014;Taylor, 2016).…”

The computer-aided 3D modelling which is one of the innovative technologies can offer great opportunities to improve students' skills. The aim of this research was to examine the effects of computer-aided 3D modeling activities on pre-service teachers’ spatial abilities and attitudes towards 3D modeling and the relevant course. The study group of the research was composed of 55 pre-service IT teachers at a state university in Turkey. The research was carried out in quasi-experimental design based on pre-post test model. The experimental research was carried out with the experimental group for 14 weeks. During the 3D modeling learning/teaching process, a five-stage education framework based on problem-based and project-based learning approaches was used. "Purdue Visualization of Rotations Test" and "Attitude Scale towards 3D Modeling and 3D Modeling Course" were used as data collection tools in the research. As a result, it was found out that computer-aided 3D modeling activities improved the spatial abilities of pre-service teachers also increased their attitudes towards 3D modeling and the course. It was concluded that the education of computer-aided three-dimensional modeling offers important opportunities to improve spatial abilities. Keywords: 3D modeling education, 3D modeling, 3D modeling attitude, pre-service teachers, spatial ability.

“…Hence, to be effective, these tools would need to be adapted or designed from scratch with learning goals in mind. For instance, the Concord Consortium created Energy 3D as an educational CAD tool to support engineering design learning by incorporating an intuitive interface and powerful visualization of simulation results to provide details and transparency [4,34]. Energy 3D allows students to create and iteratively refine energy efficient buildings.…”

Students' experimentation strategies in design: Is process data enough?

Conducting experiments is an important practice for both engineering design and scientific inquiry. Engineers iteratively conduct experiments to evaluate ideas, make informed decisions, and optimize their designs. However, both engineering design and scientific experimentation are open‐ended tasks that are not easy to assess. Recent studies have demonstrated how technology‐based assessments can help to capture and characterize these open‐ended tasks using unobtrusive data logging. This study builds upon a model to characterize students' experimentation strategies in design (ESD). Ten undergraduate students worked on a design challenge using a computer‐aided design (CAD) tool that captured all their interactions with the software. This “process data” was compared to “think‐aloud data,” which included students' explanations of their rationale for the experiments. The results suggest that the process data and the think‐aloud data have both affordances and limitations toward the goal of assessing students' ESD. While the process data was an effective approach to identify relevant sequences of actions, this type of data failed to ensure that students carried them out with a specific purpose. On the other hand, the think‐aloud data captured students' rationale for conducting experiments, but it depended on students' ability to verbalize their actions. In addition, the implementation of think‐aloud procedures and their analysis are time consuming tasks, and can only be done individually.
