activitieswith foam and wire models. Pre- and post- MRT scores of 62% and 81% respectively showincreasing gain of spatial visualization skill after training. In addition, it was found that thehands-on activities increase the students’ interest and awareness in descriptive geometry.7. References[1] Onyancha, R. M., Derov, M., and Kinsey, B.

Figure 7 – Selection from a student’s digital media portfolio for PN4011Not only was it observed that students with below average spatial skills benefited Page 26.286.9significantly from this extra class time, we also found that those students with high spatialskills also valued the activities. This is supported in some of the comments extracted fromstudents’ reflective diaries:“My strengths are the lab 1’s, I enjoy these and have no issues as I work through theworkbook. I also find my sketching a strong point as I am confident enough to try anythingeven if I make a mess of it ill still try again and give it another go.” Student 8 (Male) – Pre-Test

this point no concluding remarks can be shared. The expectation is that the quantitative datacollection allows comparative insight into students’ perception of their abilities and skills prior tostarting the course and after completion of the course. Data derived from the quality assessmentof sketch exercises will reflect students’ actual performance. The conclusion will demonstrate ifstudents’ perception of their abilities and their actual performance are in correlation.Bibliographic Information 1. Trolian, T. L., & Fouts, K. S. (2011).
