METHODS OF DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ SPATIAL THINKING ABILITIES IN DRAWING LESSONS

Abstract

This article examines effective methods, pedagogical approaches, and didactic technologies that serve to develop students’ spatial thinking in drawing lessons. Spatial thinking is the ability of students to mentally model the shape, position, size of objects in space, and the relationships between them, and plays a central role in the formation of technical and engineering competencies. The study analyzed the effectiveness of traditional and innovative methods, the level of complexity of graphic tasks, the effectiveness of visual aids, and the impact of the use of information and communication technologies on student thinking. Based on the results of practical experience, conclusions are given on improving the educational process that serves to develop spatial thinking.
