Abstract

This study is for elementary school student's spatial ability improvement. We have to know their correct spatial ability for teaching it more effectively. And then we can organize about spatial ability one of schoolbook systematically and step by step. Therefore this study did survey elementary school student's spatial ability by grades and school score using newly developed spatial ability survey test. According to result, First, elementary school students spatial ability be developed gradually more 5th, 6th grades than 3th, 4th grades. Second, it was researched that high score student's spatial ability is better than score student lower student's. But the result was influenced by school's curriculum. The score of contents in school's curriculum higher than it's not. Synthetically, the suggestion is what the curriculum is changed. It need to input the contents of spatial abilities and more detailed study.

본 연구는 초등학교 학생들의 학년과 성적에 따른 실태를 조사하였다. 공간 능력은 크게 공간관계와 공간시각화로 나누고 그 하위요소들을 각각 3가지와 5가지로 두어 자세하게 분석하고자 하였다. 학년에 따른 공간능력의 실태를 살펴보면 고학년일수록 그 능력이 높았으며, 성적에 따른 공간능력의 경우, 성적 우수 아동이 그 능력이 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 교육과정에서 해당 공간능력을 다루느냐, 다루지 않느냐에 따라 상이한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 본 논문은 이와 관련하여 교수학습 과정 및 현재 교육과정에 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.
