Mühendislik Eğitiminde Uzamsal Görselleştirme Becerisinin Akademik Başarıya Etkisinin Araştırılması

Öz

Mühendislerin sahip olması gereken en önemli özelliklerden biri, teknik alandaki sorunlara bilimsel esaslar ışığında ekonomik çözümler üretmesidir. Mühendislerden, sistem ve kavramları zihinlerinde canlandırarak analitik düşünmesi ve hızlı bir şekilde sonuca gitmesi beklenir. Bu nitelikleri sağlayan temel unsur, uzamsal görselleştirme becerisi olarak ifade edilen nesne ve kavramları zihinsel olarak üç boyutlu görselleştirme becerisidir.  Bu çalışmada bu becerinin önemi ve geliştirilmesi için yapılan çalışmalar incelenmiş,  2017-2018 öğretim yılı güz döneminde Harran Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi Makine Mühendisliğinde teknik çizim dersi alan öğrencilerin uzamsal görselleştirme becerileri  ile akademik başarıları arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Mühendislik eğitimi; Uzamsal görselleştirme becerisi
