Bloom’s taxonomy pyramid frommemorization to creation. Hence the van Hiele learning model offers better applicability forphysics pedagogy utilizing spatial abilities and Excel spreadsheet fluency (not requiring theExcel VBA engine).The literature contains the use of haptic device technology to help students to learn and physics[18, 19, 20, 21,22] and astronomy [23]. On the one hand, the application of haptic devicetechnology in physics pedagogy could be described as helping students to achieve thememorization, understanding, and applications layers according to the Bloom’s taxonomypyramid classification, which are combined together as the levels of visualization and inductivereasoning in the van Hiele learning model classification.

Thisstudy used data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988-2000 (NELS) todevelop a model for predicting post-secondary educational outcomes with particular focus onstudents earning a college degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).The objective was to identify factors that affected the probability of a given student “surviving”on the STEM track past a key time point in the study at which most students attending collegewere
