Parallel Form Reliability Analysis of a Tactile Mental Cutting Test for Assessing Spatial Ability in Blind and Low-vision Populations

Abstract

is a senior undergraduate student at Stephen F. Austin State University studying Mathematics with a concentration in STEM secondary education. Pursuing her passion for STEM education and to expand her experience and knowledge-base, she joined Utah State University's Engineering Education Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) the summer of 2022. Through her research into spatial-ability measurement tools for blind & low-vision students completed with her research team at Utah State University, Candice's interest in STEM education research grew. Beginning the fall of 2023, Candice will be pursuing a Ph.D in Mathematic Education at Texas State University.
