İlk Yıl Mimarlık Öğrencilerinin Bilişsel Stilleri İle Görsel Uzamsal Zekaları Arasındaki İlişki

Year 2017, Volume: 25 Issue: 2, 805 - 820, 15.03.2017

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, ilk yıl mimarlık öğrencilerinin bilişsel stilleri ile görsel uzamsal zekâları
arasındaki ilişki incelenmektedir. Öğrencilerin bilişsel stilleri, Düşünme Stilleri Envanteri’nin
“seviyeler” boyutu kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin 2 ve 3 boyutlu algı becerileri,
3 boyutlu objelerin izdüşüm ve perspektif çizimleri ile ilgili bir dizi soruyu yanıtlamada
gösterdikleri performanslarına bağlı olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin soruları yanıtlamadaki
performansları ile bilişsel stilleri arasında önemli ölçüde bağlantı olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıntıcı
bilişsel stile sahip öğrencilerin uzamsal algı becerilerinin bütüncü bilişsel stile sahip olanlara
göre daha gelişmiş olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The Relationship Between Cognitive Style and Visual Spatial Intelligence Of First Year Architectural Students

Year 2017, Volume: 25 Issue: 2, 805 - 820, 15.03.2017

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between the cognitive styles and visual spatial
intelligence of freshman students of architecture. Cognitive styles of the students were
determined using the “levels” dimension of the Thinking Styles Inventory. The assessment of
the 2D and 3D perception skills of the students was based on their performance in answering
a series of questions on 3D projections and perspective drawings. The performance of students
at answering the questions was found to be significantly related to their cognitive styles. The
students with local cognitive style were found to have more advanced spatial perception skills
in comparison to the students with global cognitive style.
