Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Mekânsal Akıl Yürütme Düzeyleri

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the spatial reasoning levels of junior high school students and the impact of various variables on spatial reasoning. The study was designed with survey methodology. The study data were collected with the "Spatial Reasoning Test" developed by Ramful, Lowrie and Logan (2017) and adapted to Turkish langyage by Akkaya Yılmaz, Arıkan and Çetin (2022). Data analysis revealed that the spatial reasoning levels of the junior high school students were moderate. Furthermore, it was observed that there was no difference between the spatial reasoning scores of the students based on the gender variable, while there were differences based on age, grade, maternal education level, paternal education level, mother's occupation, and father's occupation variables. It was also observed that there was a moderate, positive and significant correlation between the spatial reasoning test components.
