Spatial Reasoning as a Correlate of Formal Thought and Science Achievement for New Zealand Students.

Piburn, Michael

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v17 n5 p443-48 Sep 1980

Tested the hypothesis that spatial reasoning is a significant correlate both of formal thought, as defined by Piaget's measures of the proportionality schema, and of achievement in science. Sex differences in proportional reasoning and spatial skills in 6th-form (11- year-old) students from a New Zealand high school were also examined. (CS)
