| Summary: | This work presents and discusses a proposal to implement tests to be applied to civil engineering students to evaluate the development of spatial visualization skills after they have attended a course on Building Information Modeling (BIM). Some cognitive actions that occur during the process of architectural design and the changes that work with BIM provides are identified. Already established tests to assess the ability of spatial visualization of individuals, presented in the literature, are revised. The implementation of the tests in the "quiz" of moodle is proposed, based on the adaptation of four of these tests already established. Linking literature review on the topics discussed and presenting proposal for practical applications, this paper contributes to the improvement of research in the areas of BIM and virtual learning, deepening aspects relating to human cognitive plasticity and its lifelong formation process. |
