Abstract:
In this article, we focus on geometric thinking and the solution of three spatial geometric tasks of future primary school teachers. The research sample consisted of 78 Bachelor´s students at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia. The research findings show that future primary school teachers have a problem with geometrical thinking at higher levels and with solving spatial ability tasks, too. Using the statistical implicit analysis we revealed the connections between the students´ solution of spatial ability tasks and the achieved level of geometric thinking according to van Hiele theory.
Keywords –geometric thinking, spatial ability, teacher training, implicative analysis. |
