Use of spatial sensemaking practices in spatial learning

This paper describes an approach to understanding how 11-12-year-old students (N=185) engage in spatial thinking through use of sensemaking practices. There is limited research on what spatial thinking looks like in practice and how it can be learned in classrooms when learning discipline-specific content knowledge. We use embodied cognition to examine the kinds of sensemaking practices students use when applying perspective-taking skill to learn seasons and lunar phases and the teacher’s role in shaping those practices.
