摘要

This study addresses the experience of teachers in the under-researched area of visuospatial development for elementary skill education, utilizing case studies that consist of semi-structured interviews and focus groups that were recorded and transcribed to examine the experiences of elementary teachers who participated in the professional learning program, Project VisMO, an innovative origami-based curriculum. This research contributes to understanding the impact of professional development on teaching visuospatial skills and underscores the potential of origami-based learning as a tool for improving educational practices, highlighting areas for future research in sustainable instructional strategies.
