空间推理被定义为生成、保持和操纵抽象视觉图像的能力。在化学中，空间推理技能通常使用2-D纸质模型，3-D手持模型和计算机模型来教授。这些模型旨在通过整合来自化学的宏观，微观和符号领域的信息来帮助学生学习。研究表明，空间推理能力的提高直接转化为内容知识的提高。最近智能手机的普及和增强现实应用程序的开发提供了一种尚未探索的向化学学生教授空间推理技能的方法。增强现实应用程序可以使用智能手机上的摄像头将二维纸基分子模型转化为用户可以操纵的三维模型。本文将讨论增强现实应用程序的开发，实施和评估，该应用程序将2-D分子表示转换为交互式3-D结构。
Spatial reasoning is defined as the ability to generate, retain, and manipulate abstract visual images. In chemistry, spatial reasoning skills are typically taught using 2-D paper-based models, 3-D handheld models, and computerized models. These models are designed to aid student learning by integrating information from the macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic domains of chemistry. Research has shown that increased spatial reasoning abilities translate directly to improved content knowledge. The recent explosion in the popularity of smartphones and the development of augmented reality apps for them provide, a yet to be explored, way of teaching spatial reasoning skills to chemistry students. Augmented reality apps can use the camera on a smartphone to turn 2-D paper-based molecular models into 3-D models the user can manipulate. This paper will discuss the development, implementation, and assessment of an augmented reality app that transforms 2-D molecular representations into interactive 3-D structures.
