Limited English Proficiency and Spatial Visualization in Middle School Students' Construction of the Concepts of Reflection and Rotation.
Dixon, Juli Kim
Bilingual Research Journal, v19 n2 p221-47 Spr 1995
Eighth-grade students in bilingual classrooms explored the geometric concepts of reflection and rotation within a computer-based, dynamic, instructional environment. With initial differences controlled, treatment groups performed significantly better on concept formation and spatial visualization than did control groups receiving conventional geometry instruction. Student performance was not affected by level of English proficiency. Contains 72 references. (SV)
