Their contributions suggest ways in which recent work in such fields as spatial cognition, geographic information systems, linguistics, artificial intelligence, architecture, and data visualization can inform spatial approaches to learning and education.After addressing the conceptual foundations of spatial thinking for education and learning, the book considers visualization, both external (for example, diagrams and maps) and internal (imagery and other mental spatial representations) embodied cognition and spatial understanding and the development of specific spatial curricula and literacies.ContributorsKinnari Atit, John Bateman, Ruth Conroy Dalton, Ghislain Deslongchamps, Bonnie Dixon, Roger M. In Space in Mind, leading researchers from a range of disciplines examine the implications of research on spatial thinking and reasoning for education and learning. When considering which organizational pattern to use, you need to keep in mind your specific purpose as well as your audience and the actual speech material itself to decide which pattern you think will work best.The current 'spatial turn' in many disciplines reflects an emerging scholarly interest in space and spatiality as central components in understanding the natural and cultural worlds. Such a speech would thus be combining elements of the comparison/contrast and problem-cause-solution patterns. For example, you might wish to discuss a problem and then compare/contrast several different possible solutions for the audience. You will want to be aware that it is also possible to combine two or more organizational patterns to meet the goals of a specific speech. Your challenge is to choose the best pattern for the particular speech you are giving. Some other patterns, particularly comparison/contrast, problem-cause-solution, and psychological, are well suited for persuasive speaking.

For example, as we mentioned earlier, the biographical pattern is useful when you are telling the story of someoneРІР‚в„ўs life. However, not all organizational patterns work for all speeches. The problem-cause-solution format for speeches generally lends itself to persuasive topics because the speaker is asking an audience to believe in and adopt a specific solution.Р”В®ach of the preceding organizational patterns is potentially useful for organizing the main points of your speech. curfew as a solution to the vandalism and violence problem within the community. Lastly, the speaker provides the mandatory 10:00 p.m. Once the speaker has shown the problem, the speaker then explains to the audience that the cause of this problem is youth outside after 10:00 p.m. To help persuade the civic group members, the speaker first shows that vandalism and violence are problems in the community. In this speech, the speaker wants to persuade people to pass a new curfew for people under eighteen. InSpace in Mind, leading researchers from a range of disciplines examine the implications of research on spatial thinking and reasoning for education and learning. would reduce vandalism and violence within our community. The current 'spatial turn' in many disciplines reflects an emerging scholarly interest in space and spatiality as central components in understanding the natural and cultural worlds. Explain how instituting a mandatory curfew at 10:00 p.m. Show how vandalism and violence among youth go up after 10:00 p.m. Spatial thinking is defined as the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to use concepts of space, tools of representation like maps and graphs, and processes of reasoning to organize and solve problems (Downs and de Souza 2005). Demonstrate that vandalism and violence among youth is having a negative effect on our community. To persuade a civic group to support a citywide curfew for individuals under the age of eighteen
