The Importance of Spatial Visualization and Cognitive Development for Geometry Learning in Preservice Elementary Teachers.
Battista, Michael J.; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v13 n5 p332-40 Nov 1982
In this study with four sections of preservice teachers, both spatial visualization and cognitive development correlated significantly with achievement. However, in an analysis of variance, only cognitive development was significant, and no interaction was found. Spatial visualization was greater at the end of the geometry course than at the beginning. (MP)
