Résumé
Notre recherche s’intéresse à déterminer de possibles facteurs de développement des capacités à modéliser un objet en trois dimensions à l’aide d’un logiciel de conception assistée par ordinateur (CAO), auprès d’un groupe d’étudiants et étudiantes en première année d’école d’ingénieurs. L’utilisation de logiciels de modélisation 3D est liée aux compétences spatiales, que la pratique de loisirs spécifiques contribuerait à développer. Ces occupations personnelles favorisent-elles aussi le développement des compétences de modélisation 3D à l’oeuvre dans un logiciel de CAO? Nos résultats confirment la participation des habiletés spatiales au développement des compétences de modélisation 3D, à la différence de la pratique de loisirs, ce qui indiquerait qu’elles requièrent des enseignements spécifiques.

Abstract
Our study aims to identify potential developmental factors that would help first-year engineering students develop the ability to model a 3D object using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Three-dimensional modelling has been linked to spatial ability, the development of which seems to benefit from the practice of certain leisure activities. Can this contribution be extended to the development of some of the 3D modelling skills which are implemented in CAD software? Our results confirm that spatial skills do contribute to the development of 3D modelling skills. In contrast, we found no relation between leisure activities and 3D modelling skills, which would indicate a need for specific training.
Keywords:
