“…In addition to analyzing differences in selfefficiency in geometry according to variables: sex, grade, educational achievement, and used the Van Hiele scale in geometry thinking, as well as a test of self-efficacy, and the results of the study showed a vulnerable correlation between self-efficacy and geometric thinking, as the results of the study showed variations in self-efficacy in accordance to the gender, class, achievement. Skrbec & Cadez (2015) conducted a study to perceive the levels of geometric thinking among students in the primary stage in Slovenia; the study's results confirmed that there had been 4% of students at the zero level, 61% between the zero and first level, and 32% at the first level, and the 2d level only 1% of students. The results of the study also confirmed the weakness of students in the preference of geometry language.…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the usage of the Van Hiele model in the development of geometric thinking levels among tenth grade students in Jordan. The sample of the study was selected from tenth grade basic students in Amman schools. Two hundred and forty students studying the mathematics course in the circle unit were divided into two groups: experimental (using the Van Hiele model) and the control (using the traditional approach of teaching).To achieve the objectives of the study, a test of geometric thinking in the unit of the circle was developed. Validity and reliability of the test was verified. The instructional material was also prepared in the circle unit for the students of the tenth grade using the Van Hiele model of geometric thinking. Four mathematics teachers were trained on the model, and the content validity of the training material was verified. The results of the study showed a statistically significant difference (α=0.01) between the two arithmetic means of the experimental and control agencies in favor of the experimental group that used the Van Hiele model in geometric thinking in general, and in sub-levels (visual, descriptive, logical), and the study showed no statistical significance difference (α=0.01) between the arithmetic means of male and female in geometric thinking, also the study showed an interaction between the model variable and gender variable in geometric thinking.

“…This is because the ability of technology is easy to manipulate and manage, making it easier for students to understand a concept compared to conventional learning [50]. [41] as well as Škrbec and Čadež [40] used varied materials and concrete experiences in developing students' geometric thinking. However, Markopoulos, et al [41] found that not all students achieved an advanced level of thinking.…”

<span lang="EN-US">Metacognition, or the ability to think about thinking, is essential in the development of geometric thinking. However, studies on the Van Hiele model and the application of metacognition on geometric thinking are still under-researched. This study aimed to provide a review of the Van Hiele model and the application of metacognition on geometric thinking. A total of 844 articles were retrieved through internet search engines from 1995 to 2020 and manually selected and reviewed systematically. The keywords used related to the Van Hiele model, metacognition, and geometric thinking. The findings that emerged from the review were categorized into two main themes which were the effectiveness of the Van Hiele model towards geometric thinking and the effectiveness of the application of metacognition on geometric thinking. Most articles revealed the positive indication of the geometric thinking development through the Van Hiele model intervention. It also seems that the potential of the application of metacognition in the Van Hiele model can strengthen geometric thinking development. Researchers and educators may find this knowledge useful in conducting empirical studies and developing learning instructions based on the application of metacognition in the development of geometric thinking.</span>

The study aimed at investigating the levels of geometrical thinking among students receiving blended learning in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (104) students/teachers of open education systems in Jordan for the 2015-2016 academic year. In order to answer the questions of study, the researcher developed a scale of geometric thinking, it is validity and reliability has been verified. The results of the study showed a low level of geometrical thinking among students receiving blended learning. The percentage of students in the first level (visual) (51%), the percentage of students in the second level (descriptive) (15%), and the percentage of students in the third level (logical) (3%). Also it showed differences in the levels of geometric thinking between males and females in favor of males, as well as differences in the level of geometrical thinking between students from the scientific stream and students from the literary stream in favor of scientific stream. In the light of the results of the study, the researcher recommends that pre-service teachers should be trained on programs contains geometrical thinking at open learning universities.
