Young Children's Developing Understanding of Geometric Shapes

Abstract: How can we improve geometry instruction at the preschool and primary levels? To answer that question, I conducted research to analyze young children's understanding of the geometric concepts of triangle and rectangle and to determine patterns in the development of this understanding from ages 3 through 6. The research suggests that early childhood educators need to rethink the way that basic shapes are introduced to young children. Since a basic understanding of shapes is essential to a future study of geometr… Show more

“…Özgen (2017), on the other hand, argues that the activities developed should be suitable for teaching purposes. According to Hannibal (1996), students should be subjected to the activities suitable for their developmental level. If these studies are evaluated as a whole, it is seen that the pre-service teachers take into account important aspects such as suitability for the curriculum, suitability for the purpose and suitability for the level of the student during the activity preparation processes.…”

“…Seiten auch informelle bzw. alltagssprachliche Informationen beinhalten (Hannibal 1999;Levenson et al 2011;Maier 2019;Reemer und Eichler 2005). Selbst Schülerinnen und Schüler in der Sekundarstufe I oder darüber hinaus haben Schwierigkeiten, zwischen hinreichenden und notwendigen Bedingungen zu unterscheiden und können gleichwertige Definitionen, zum Beispiel für den Begriff Quadrat, nur schwer als solche erkennen (Burger und Shaughnessy 1986;Fujita 2012;Heinze 2002a).…”

“…Dies widerspricht bisherigen Ergebnissen, die für den Begriff Quadrat in der Regel höhere Lösungsraten zeigen als für den Begriff Rechteck (Aktaş Arnas und Aslan 2010; Aslan und Aktaş Arnas 2007;Clements et al 1999;Kyriakides 1999;Reemer und Eichler 2005). Dabei fällt auf, dass die Orientierung parallel zum Blattrand der Figur ebenfalls entgegen bisheriger empirischer Ergebnisse (Aktaş Arnas und Aslan 2010; Aslan und Aktaş Arnas 2007;Burger und Shaughnessy 1986;Clements et al 1999;Fuys et al 1988;Hannibal 1999;Yin 2003) keinen Einfluss auf die Lösungsrate zu haben scheint, da die Lösungsraten für die Figur ,Quadrat auf der Spitze' jeweils nur knapp unter denen der Figur ,prototypisches Quadrat' liegen; die Größe der Figur dagegen schon (Lösungsraten für Figur ,kleines Quadrat' liegen deutlich unter denen der Figur ,prototypisches Quadrat'). Insgesamt unterscheidet sich die Klassenstufe 4 in den Lösungsraten der Items zum Begriffsumfang am grundsätzlichsten von den übrigen Klassenstufen, jedoch ergibt sich kein einheitliches Bild: Beispielsweise wählen Lernende der 4.…”

“…Alan yazında erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocukların geometrik şekilleri tanımasını araştırmayı (Alisinanoğlu, Kesicioğlu & Mart, 2013;Hannibal & Clements, 2000;Kesicioğlu, 2013;Klein, Starkey & Wakeley, 1999;Satlow & Newcombe, 1998), geometrik şekillerle ilgili ölçme araçları geliştirmeyi amaçlayan araştırmalar yer almaktadır (Aslan, 2004;İvrendi, Erol & Atan, 2018;Sezer, 2015). Okul öncesi dönemdeki çocuklar üçgen, daire, kare ve dikdörtgen gibi geometrik şekillerin prototip olmayan örneklerini tanımakta zorlanmaktadır (Kesicioğlu, Alisinanoğlu & Tuncer, 2011;Sezer & Güven, 2019).…”
