“…Van Hiele (Van de Walle, 2018) Research on geometry skills of students of Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar (PGSD)/Elementary School Teacher Education Degree Program, Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Semarang, showed that the students' characteristics on the types of spatial ability and geometric thinking level are essential to induce the geometry lecture strategy. The results of the research data analysis indicated that the students were still in the sufficient category for the two abilities that had an effect on learning geometry (Trimurtini et al, 2021). When presented with application questions involving multiple geometric concepts, students continue to struggle.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Geometric thinking affects success in learning geometry. Geometry is studied from elementary school to university level. Therefore, in higher education and basic education, it is necessary to carry out a systematic review in order to obtain tips for improving geometric thinking skills. A systematic review of geometric thinking was done in this study. In this study from 2017 to 2021, geometric thinking was investigated in the form of a synthesis review of the effect size of the given treatment. This is a comprehensive discussion of theories, models, and frameworks on the topic of geometric thinking from 36 articles. The research findings revealed that the interventions used were predominantly effective, with effect sizes ranging from "small" to "very large," with the "very large" effect obtained in the intervention of van Hiele's learning phase and various technology-based-media and concrete manipulative media. The research trend was reflected through twelve clusters of interrelated keywords. The results of this literature review suggested that it is necessary to carry out a specific study on how to achieve the highest level of geometric thinking, a more detailed form of scaffolding, and concrete manipulative media and technology that can be explored for a certain level of the participants’ geometric thinking.</p>

“…While it is possible to enhance spatial visualization ability through appropriate teaching techniques, many students struggle with low spatial visualization skills (Lin et al, 2015;Miller & Halpern, 2013;Newcombe, 2010;Sorby, 1999). Despite opportunities available for both teachers and students to learn spatial visualization skills, many teachers still lack the necessary experience in effectively teaching them (Miller & Halpern, 2012;Trimurtini et al, 2021).…”

Proficiency in spatial visualization plays a significant role in learning 3D geometry. Spatial visualization ability can be enhanced through the use of relevant teaching and learning techniques. The study aimed to investigate the impact of computer-aided instructional techniques on improving students' spatial visualization skills in learning 3D geometry, addressing the issue of low spatial visualization ability among students. The study followed a mixed research approach with a quasi-experimental design. Twenty mathematics teachers were purposively selected, and 267 Level-4 students from six ordinary-level secondary schools were purposively chosen for the study. Data were gathered using interviews, and pre- and post-tests of control and treatment groups through the use of computer simulation and animation of 3D figures in the treatment group, while the control group was taught using traditional methods. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to compute descriptive and inferential statistics from quantitative data, while thematic analysis was applied to analyze qualitative data. The results from mathematics teachers’ interviews indicate that teachers put less emphasis on enhancing students’ spatial visualization abilities. Students from the treatment group outperformed the control groups on spatial visualization ability in terms of test scores. Additionally, an independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the control and treatment groups in terms of spatial visualization ability. The computer-aided instructional approach is relevant in enhancing students’ spatial visualization abilities. To improve students' spatial visualization skills, the researchers propose in-service training for teachers to incorporate computer simulations and animations into the teaching and learning of 3D geometry.
