A térlátás és térbeli tájékozódás kompetencia fejlesztésének lehetőségei digitális eszközökkel az általános iskola felső tagozatán

Abstract

It is a widespread conviction that women are not as good as men in terms of spatial orientation. This realization is
the basis of many jokes and debates. But is it true for everyone? And if so, what is the reason for it? Are there
biological reasons, or does our society create this difference in skills imperceptibly from a very young age Where do these differences first appear during our education? In the past decades, changes in relevant knowledge, social and economic expectations, as well as in the locations of knowledge transfer, have all proved that it is not enough to solve spatial geometry tasks on the plane of the drawing board. In fact, today, one can get much knowledge with the help of the Internet and multimedia tools that have a significantly more motivating effect on students than printed textbooks and paper-based knowledge transfer materials. With a professional background in mathematics education, the author of this paper examined spatial orientation and spatial perception skills during the solution of a spatial geometry problem listed in a high school admission form. Which competencies are required to solve the tasks perfectly?When and in how many hours is it possible to develop these competencies in our current education system? Without claiming to be exhaustive, this paper presents some digital applications that help to develop special perception skills today. The applications used in theMoodle course in the research setting were GeoGebra LearningApps, and H5P (Lumi). It was found that by incorporating them into the educational process, it is possible to make the solving of geometric tasks enjoyable and to develop the students’ mathematical competence unnoticed, and according to the results, the skill differences between boys and girls can be significantly reduced.
