be administered again at the conclusion of thecourse, to see if spatial skills are improved through other course activities, making the additionaltreatment modules unnecessary for this class. Finally, it is recommended that the study bereplicated with more balance in participant numbers in the treatment and control groups, andmore balance in pretest measured spatial ability between the control and treatment groups.

cycle.A “graphic vocabulary wall”, synonymous with a word wall (commonly used in elementaryclassrooms) should be established to support student use of graphics. The facilitation in graphicproduction will further student spatial abilities by eliminating mental road blocks that hindertheir thought processes.AcknowledgementsThis work is supported by NSF (DRL # 0733217) as part of the Discovery Research K-12program. The project team would also like to extend its sincere thanks to our partner elementaryschools, including the administration, staff and teachers.References1. Appleton, K. (2007).

The instructor intends to continue using pair programming in thiscourse, and will attempt to improve student compliance in alternating roles.Bibliography 1. J. Bevan, L. Werner, C.

construction phase can be measured by thephysical construction that results from that phase. Clearly defined visualization(s) thatdepict the expected outcomes from each phase of construction can be generatedbeforehand and these can be embedded into the framework as shown below. For instance,in Figure 4, the two visualizations show the finished stages of construction at two phases.Any lags or setbacks in construction (in the real-time) can be compared with the pre-planned designs and faults and delays can be easily identified. This facilitates a moreconcrete evaluation and hence decision-making rather than relying on abstract or vaguemilestones.
