Özet
This study aims to examine primary school fourth grade students' visual estimation
and spatial reasoning skills. 445 (219 boys and 226 girls) primary school students
participated in the study. Correlational model, one of the quantitative research
methods, was used to determine the relationship between students' visual estimation
skills and spatial reasoning skills. In addition, Spatial Reasoning Skills and Visual
Estimation Skills tests were used as data collection tools. Before applying these tests,
validity-reliability analyzes were made. The data obtained from the sub-problems of
the study were analyzed using different statistical methods such as including one-way
multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), correlation and path analysis. According
to the results of the research, the visual estimation skills and spatial reasoning skills of
the students do not differ according to their gender. In addition, it was observed that
the scores of the students' spatial reasoning test positively predicted the scores they
got from the visual estimation skills test.
