Title
Determining if Spatial Reasoning is Required to Learn CS
Abstract
Spatial reasoning may be a strong predictor for a career in Computer Science (CS) [9]. However, it is unclear why and how spatial abilities lead to success in CS. Investigating the role of spatial reasoning in learning CS may be important for broadening participation. Most students who excel in CS are white males or students from a high socioeconomic status (SES) [2, 5]. These same students typically score higher on spatial reasoning tests than their peers [1]. Thus spatial reasoning may be another factor preventing marginalized communities from succeeding in CS.
