that is known to have properties such as being symmetrical (no skew) and kurtosis (clustering near the tails of the distribution) of zero. Examining normal Q-Q plots gives an indication of normality. Freidman’s ANOVA is a non-parametric test of whether more than two related groups differ that could compensate for non-normality. However, there are only two treatment groups in this study, so it cannot be performed if the assumption of normality is violated. Page 23.731.9INCORPORATING ENGINEERING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE 9 3.

Visualization Test. After completing the mental rotations test, students usedthe 3D Estimator to estimate the volume of six shapes, as in Study 1. In this study, each estimatethat a student entered was recorded and stored in the database.Analysis and Results The first research question was: Do measurement estimations of one-dimensional aspectsand computational estimations of three-dimensional volume represent distinct, separableknowledge components (KCs)? Determining distinct KCs for the 3D Estimator task requires theuse of a learning factors analysis (LFA) and the iterative process of determining q-matricesdescribed by 4. The analysis shows whether a smooth learning curve exists for a given KC.Smooth curves mean that the entire set of

students naturally use three-dimensionalreasoning as a technique for problem solving. When dyslexic students encounter a problemsolving situation, they naturally change their three-dimensional perspective and examine theproblem from various angles without shifting their observation point. Many dyslexic studentsspin an object mentally without needing to alter how they are viewing that object. This skill ofshifting perspectives is useful and effective in physical science; however, in two-dimensionallanguage, changing a three dimensional perspective can result in a “b” looking like a “d”, “p” or“q”, depending on the angle at which the object is viewed. It is possible that the reasoning skillthat results in language challenges for the dyslexic student
