The aim of this research was to examine the effects of computer-aided 3D modeling activities on pre-service teachers' spatial abilities and attitudes towards 3D modeling and the relevant course. The study group of the research was composed of 55 pre-service IT teachers at a state university in Turkey. The research was carried out in quasi-experimental design based on pre-post test model. The experimental research was carried out with the experimental group for 14 weeks. During the 3D modeling learning/teaching process, a five-stage education framework based on problem-based and project-based learning approaches was used. Purdue Visualization of Rotations Test and 'Attitude Scale towards 3D Modeling and 3D Modeling Course were used as data collection tools in the research. As a result, it was found out that computer-aided 3D modeling activities improved the spatial abilities of pre-service teachers also increased their attitudes towards 3D modeling and the course. It was concluded that the education of computer-aided three-dimensional modeling offers important opportunities to improve spatial abilities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess3D modeling education3D modeling3D modeling attitudepre-service teachersspatial abilityArticle18333534810.33225/jbse/19.18.3352-s2.0-85068979984Q2WOS:000469939000003Q4
