Summary/Abstract: The aim of the conducted research was to determine the effectiveness of introducing stimulating factors into the drawing process among early school-aged children, with the goal of enhancing their understanding of the cube. The core cognitive focus of the undertaken research procedure was the question: What is the effectiveness of the impact of the factors (color, contour, touch) introduced into the process of creating a graphic representation of the cube watched by the students? The study employed the method of document analysis, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. These allowed for the identification of models and the frequency of cubes drawn by successive age groups of children under conditions of direct observation and with the involvement of various stimulating factors. The research material consisted of 593 cube drawings. It should be assumed that the introduction of stimulating factors - particularly the role of touch - enhances cognitive effectiveness not only in relation to the observed cube, but also potentially increases cognitive efficiency when it comes to understanding other solids or objects. The content and formal analysis of the collected research material, along with the conclusions drawn, may contribute to outlining pedagogical guidelines that will support teachers in more effectively introducing students into the world of three-dimensional objects.
