Description

"Learning of Mathematical Concepts in Relation to Spatial Ability and Problem-Solving Skill among Secondary School Pupils" explores the connection between cognitive skills—specifically spatial ability and problem-solving—and students' success in learning mathematics. The book delves into how spatial reasoning skills, such as mental visualization, shape students' understanding of mathematical concepts, especially in geometry and algebra. The study also examines how problem-solving techniques, including strategy selection and logical reasoning, affect students’ ability to tackle complex mathematical problems. Through empirical research, the book provides evidence that enhancing spatial skills can improve mathematical problem-solving performance. It further explores how teachers can incorporate activities that boost spatial thinking and problem-solving strategies into the mathematics curriculum. With its practical findings, this book offers insights for educators, psychologists, and curriculum planners to design teaching methods that foster both spatial abilities and problem-solving skills, ultimately improving students' overall mathematical achievement.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between spatial ability, problem-solving skills, and the learning of mathematical concepts among secondary school pupils. The research explores how students' spatial reasoning abilities impact their understanding and retention of mathematical concepts, particularly in areas such as geometry, algebra, and word problems. By assessing spatial ability through tasks involving mental rotation, visualization, and spatial manipulation, and evaluating problem-solving skills through complex mathematical problems, the study examines how these cognitive abilities contribute to academic performance in mathematics. The findings suggest that students with higher spatial ability tend to perform better in solving mathematical problems and grasping abstract mathematical concepts. This research highlights the importance of fostering spatial skills as a foundation for improving mathematical learning outcomes, providing valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers aiming to enhance students' mathematical competence and problem-solving abilities.
