The Relationship between Visual and Abstract Comprehension in Spatial Geometry, and Its Importance to Developing Spatial Perception and Vision
Lea Dorel
International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, v30 n4 p219-226 2023
Spatial geometry is one of the multi-purpose fields of mathematics and is tightly linked to the development of mathematical and intellectual thinking. Spatial thinking is necessary in various areas of life such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, interior design, graphic design and other. At present, teaching spatial geometry is mainly based on mathematical logic -- precise wording and arguments -- rather than sketches and models. This mode of teaching allows teaching and defining definitions, axioms, or arguments, but does so without sufficient reference to the spatial aspect, which is characteristic of geometry. In this article, we examined if the use of technological tools to display 3-D geometric objects during engineering studies improve the students' spatial thinking.
