| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 數學暨資訊教育學系(含數學教育碩士班) === 99 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the performances on spatial orientation for sixth graders. The methodology of this study was a questionnaire survey and semi constructural interview. Both quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis were applied in the study. There were a total of 600 subjects from 23 classes in 8 public elementary school of Taipei City and eighteen students were interviewed for getting more problem solving strategies and error types.
The major findings are shown as follows:
1. There is no significant difference between genders in the performances of spatial orientation.
2. There are significant differences in spatial orientation for several mathematical learning achievements.
3. Both structures of spatial orientation ability for gender is almost similar.
4. Based on the structure of spatial ability, the students with high and middle mathematical learning achievements should emphasize on “drawing solid object from views”,the students with low mathematical learning achievements should reinforce“drawing front view and left view by top views”.
5. The problem solving types of the sixth grade elementary students on spatial orientation ability are:
(a) Correct problem solving strategy: counting the number of blocks, observing characteristics, mental manipulation, geometric reasoning, life experience, etc.
(b) Error types: definition confusion , cognition insufficient, individual positioning habitual behavior, intuitional visualization etc.
Finally, some suggestions are proposed for the references as geometric teaching and the arrangement of geometric curriculum.
