Description
Aydın-Çolak, Şahin, and Kıroğlu build a spatial skills test for young students in a study from two thousand twenty-six. Most existing tests target older students or cover only part of spatial ability. Their test is shaped for fourth graders and for the math curriculum those children follow.
The draft test was given to three hundred sixty fourth graders in public schools in the Black Sea region of Türkiye. Item checks and expert review trimmed it to twenty-three items in three parts, covering visualization, relations, and orientation. Reliability was good, and model checks gave fair support for the three-part structure. The authors say the test shows promise for classroom and research use.
