Özet
The aim of this work is to investigate relationships among pre-service primary
mathematics teachers’ gender, academic success and spatial ability. The study was
conducted in Izmir with 193 pre-service primary mathematics teachers of Dokuz
Eylül University. In the work, spatial ability test, which consists of two main subtests measuring spatial orientation and spatial visualization abilities, is used. In
order to analyze the obtained data, descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment
correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U test are used. The results indicated
that pre-service primary mathematics teachers’ spatial ability level is low; there is
a positive relationship between spatial ability and academic success; there is no
significant difference between spatial ability and gender and the abilities of spatial
orientation and spatial visualization are positively correlated. Some important
research questions are also proposed.
