Abstract
The purpose of this study is 1) to determine differences in the characteristics of the spatial thinking ability of students in urban and rural school environments and 2) to determine differences in the characteristics of the spatial thinking ability of the students in the urban and rural school environments in terms of the type of gender. This research uses experiment methods with a population of class XI students of Social Science both in urban and rural schools with a total sample of 31 students from each school. Spatial thinking skills are measured through the test of problem solving using the satellite imagery of Google Earth as a tool of representation. Spatial thinking skills assessment is based on the components of spatial thinking. It includes understanding concepts of spatial, the use of representation tools, and reasoning process. The data analysis uses statistical for different test with SPSS 25.0 for windows. The results showed, first, spatial thinking ability character’s between students in the urban and rural environments are significantly differences. So, the character of environment, i.e., urban and rural is not always consistent in influencing the spatial thinking ability of the students. Second, no differences in the spatial thinking ability in the statistics between male and female students. However, the students in urban environment have the characteristics of spatial thinking better than the students in the rural environment. Female students in urban environment have more powerful character of spatial thinking skills, though it is not proven in male students.
本研究的目的是:(1)确定城乡学校环境中学生空间思维能力特征的差异;(2)确定城乡学校环境中学生空间思维能力特征在性别类型上的差异。本研究采用实验方法,以城市和农村学校社会科学十一班学生为样本,每所学校共31名学生。空间思维能力是通过使用b谷歌地球卫星图像作为表征工具的问题解决测试来衡量的。空间思维能力的评估是基于空间思维的组成部分。它包括理解空间概念,使用表示工具和推理过程。数据分析使用SPSS 25.0 for windows对不同的测试进行统计。结果表明:第一,城市和农村环境下学生的空间思维能力特征存在显著差异。因此,城市和农村的环境特征对学生空间思维能力的影响并不总是一致的。第二,男女学生的空间思维能力在统计上没有差异。然而,城市环境下的学生比农村环境下的学生具有更好的空间思维特征。在城市环境中,女学生的空间思维能力特征更强,而男学生的空间思维能力特征没有得到证实。
期刊介绍:
RIGEO aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice in geography education and social studies education. It is open for rigorous research papers as well as all level teachers’ experience about good practice for geography lessons and discussion papers. RIGEO would like to lie both in theory or on research papers and practice of geography teachers’ in geography education and in addition to social studies education. RIGEO is eager to publish original papers in all aspects of geography education and social studies education.
