Study on the Correlation between Drawing Education and Special Cognitive Ability Evaluation Based on the MCT

Article Preview

Abstract:

Use the international universal theory of evaluation of special cognitive ability with Mental Cutting Test (MCT) to test the students of Science and Technology University. Compare the MCT average scores of fore-and-aft drawing education, it shows that the effect of descriptive geometry teaching is positive correlative with the scores of MCT, the students improved their special cognitive ability from planar drawing to three-dimensional drawing significantly. The students who got lower MCT scores before taking drawing courses improved their MCT scores obviously. The effect of mechanical drawing teaching is feeble correlative with the scores of MCT; it shows feeble improvement in students’ special cognitive ability.
