In order for individuals to have these competencies, effective traning in the development of spatial thinking skills should occur. Spatial thinking skills can be acquired through student-centered, active learning and orienteering activities, all of which can be applied in lessons as a type of game instead of through traditional teaching methods and techniques. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of spatial thinking skills on the orienteering practices of students' in primary school Grade 4 Social Studies course. The study group consists of a total of 104 students: 51 students are in the experimental group and 53 students are in the control group. All participants are in Grade 4 at a primary school in Merkez district of Kastamonu province in Turkey during the 2019-2020 academic year. Lessons were taught with activities based on orienteering practices in the experimental group, and curriculum-based instruction was conducted in the control group. In the research, one of the quantitative research methods was used as a quasi-experimental model with a pretest-posttest control group. The Spatial Thinking Skill Test (STSS) developed by the researcher was used as the data collection tool. As a result of the research, it was concluded that orienteering practices are effective in developing students' spatial thinking skills. Orienteering is recommended to be used as a teaching technique in Social Studies lessons because it is an entertaining activity that enables learning by doing, the development of multi-faceted thinking, and the transference of spatial thinking skills to daily life.","PeriodicalId":52147,"journal":{"name":"Review of International Geographical Education Online","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49562474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also seen that importance is given to the acquisition of geographical skills in educational programs. The spatial thinking skill that provides geospatial information is a geographic skill needed in the analysis and interpretation of place. Geographical inquiry skill focuses on solving a problem in line with certain research processes. Geographic information systems are the basic spatial technology used in the development of spatial thinking and geographic inquiry skills. These three elements are effective tools for solving real-life problems and have become even more important today with the development of location-based mobile applications. It is believed that Geogames from digital games can be an effective new teaching technology in learning these elements within the framework of motivational sources and learning needs in the learning environments of generation Z, which was born into digital technology. Geogames are mobile, location-based, and location- aware games for devices such as smartphones and tablets. In the literature, some types of geogame can also be classified as serious game or pervasive game. Geogame is separated from these games by its focus on solving a spatial problem with its stakeholders, mainly using GIS technology, and is closely related to the science of geography. This review is intended to question how Geogames can support geographical education. For this purpose, Youplaceit! Geocaching on the Moon, Neocartographer, Ingress, OriGami, SimCity, Project Lily Pad, Minecraft-Urban Planning, and FindeVielfalt Simulation geogame applications have been studied in terms of current learning outcomes and features. According to the results, these games can be used in the teaching of physical and human geography topics such as environmental education, urban planning, space geography, tourism geography; can be effective in teaching map skills, spatial thinking, and geographic inquiry skills; can increase collaborative work and motivation. It has been determined that there is a need for research that will provide concrete data in this new academic discipline, and some research questions have been put forward for geography educators and researchers.
