The influence of age on the performance of elementary students in arithmetic and visuospatial stimuli in mathematics
Summary:
The starting point of this work was to investigate the cognitive development of children of different ages at school in the mathematical skills of reasoning. The cognitive function to be studied is distinguished by numerical and visuospatial arthritis and gives a relatively complete picture of mathematical ability. Expanding this question, the possible association of the two above - mentioned stimuli was also studied by age, on the basis of a classroom. The sample consisted of 2371 pupils of school age, being excellent speakers of the Greek language, from all classes of elementary school, both public and private, on a panhellenic scale. The research tool administered was the "MathPro Test". The findings that emerged after one – way analysis of variance of age influence showed statistically significant differences almost among all classes, some of which had a high effect size. Non - statistically significant difference was found between fifth and sixth grades in all tests. Concerning the possible association of the two stimuli, medium correlation coefficients were found between almost all visual and arithmetic stimuli per class. The findings are discussed in connection with the international bibliography on mathematics and reasoning, both in terms of numerical and visuospatial trials and at the same time the relationship between the two stimuli.
