Ahalmen espazialaren ikerketa bat Haur Hezkuntzan.

Abstract

Since the second half of the twentieth century the importance of the spatial ability in teaching-learning mathematics has been emphasized, especially in geometry, so many researchers have focused on its study. However, due to the diversity of definitions and concepts associated with such ability, it is not easy to set up a solid model to represent it. In this paper a theoretical model is proposed, empirically tested, that allows to evaluate the spatial ability of the students of Childhood Education in order to offer them an individualized attention. Based on the established model, the possible differences between girls and boys in spatial ability are also analyzed, so common in the literature related to this topic.; XX. mendearen erditik aurrera, azpimarratu izan da ahalmen espazialak matematikaren, eta bereziki geometriaren, ikas-irakaskuntza duen garrantzia; hori dela-eta ikertzaile asko zentratu da ahalmen espazialaren azterketan. Hala ere, ahalmen horri lotutako definizio eta kontzeptuen aniztasuna medio, ez da erraza izan ahalmen espazialean oinarritutako eredu sendo bat eraikitzea. Lan honetan enpirikoki egiaztatutako eredu teoriko bat proposatzen da, Haur Hezkuntzako ikasleen ahalmen espaziala neurtzea ahalbidetuko duena; horrela, ikasle bakoitzaren beharretara egokitutako arreta eskaini ahal izango da. Proposatutako eredu horretan oinarrituz, arloko ikerketetan horren ohikoak diren nesken eta mutilen ahalmen espazialean egon daitezkeen desberdintasun posibleak ere aztertzen dira.
