About this book
In a first part of this book, she theoretically addresses the construct of spatial thought at different scales of space from a cognitive psychological point of view and shows that maps can be rich sources for spatial thinking. In a second part, she proposes how to measure children’s spatial thought in a paper-and-pencil setting and map-based setting in real space. In a third, empirical part, she examines the relations between children’s spatialthought in those two settings both at a manifest and latent level.
Reviews
“This book would be of importance to researchers who are interested in the area of spatial thinking especially as it relates to children. The empirical study described in the book would also provide important information to those who are interested in geometry education in schools.” (Mary Beth Rollick, MAA Reviews, May 9, 2021)
