Development and enhancement of spatial perception among university students for better retention

Abstract

During the compilation of this article, the primary aim was the exploration of the available opportunities regarding the development and improvement of spatial perception, and the creation of a future plan for assessing the spatial intelligence of engineering students attending the University of Miskolc. After carefully studying several publications, the Barke-style test was chosen, which is showcased in detail in this article. In my version, the essence of the test would remain the same, only the the tasks would be altered, and the incoming engineering students would participate in the survey, in a way similar to the mathematical competency survey that already exists at the university. Depending on the results of the survey, my plans include the creation of recommendations as part of my research, aimed at strengthening spatial competency among the engineering students attending the University of Miskolc.
