摘要：Spatial visualization, frequently used in many stages of daily life, is also an indispensable part of mathematics and geometry courses. There are many definitions of spatial visualization ability and various tests have been developed to measure this ability. The aim of this study is to develop a new test for determining the spatial visualization ability for students in higher education. For this purpose, a test including 29 items was prepared. The developed test’s pilot scheme was applied to 236 students of mathematics and mathematics education programs in different two state universities. The data obtained were analyzed by packaged software like Iteman 4, SPSS 17.0 and Lisrel8.7. The test, which was developed by discarding two items according to results of item analysis, validity and reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, was finalized. The Cronbach α coefficient of test was calculated as .84 and RMSEA value of test was calculated as 0,032.
