Abstract

The article delves into the pivotal role of spatial strategy in STEM education, leveraging a virtual Starmaze test to identify distinct spatial navigation patterns among STEM students. It investigates how high- and low-performing students differ in their use of spatial strategies, and whether particular strategies are favored in different STEM subjects. The study employs advanced cognitive neuroscience techniques to provide dynamic and fine-grained evidence on spatial strategy, filling a gap in existing research that relies on psychometric approaches. By comparing egocentric and allocentric strategies, the research offers valuable insights into how spatial ability influences academic performance in STEM fields.
