Survey resluts on certain fundamental knowledges of elementary geometry with students of primary education

Geometrija je sveprisutna u svim aspektima našeg svakodnevnog života i zbog toga neophodna u obrazovanju svakog pojedinca. Iznimno je apstraktna, čak i na najnižim razinama obrazovanja, i potreban je skup vještina i duboko razumijevanje iste kako bi se prenijelo kvalitetno znanje na učenike u najranijoj dobi. Ovim istraživanjem pokušali smo ispitati elementarna znanja iz geometrije budućih učitelja razredne nastave, u svrhu čega je osmišljen test elementarnih znanja o geometriji te ispitati njihove općenite stavove o važnosti geometrije u obrazovanju, kako njihovom vlastitom, tako i u obrazovanju općenito. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 80 studenata Učiteljskog studija Sveučilišta u Zadru.Geometry is ubiquitous in all aspects of our everyday life and as such is essential in education of every individual. It is exceptionally abstract, even in the primary levels of education and it requires a set of skills and deep understanding so that knowledge could be passed on to students at an early age. With this survey we have tried to test certain fundamental knowledges of elementary geometry as well as the opinions and attitudes about the importance of geometry in their education and education in general, with students of primary education. For that purpose we have designed a test of certain fundamental knowledges of elementary geometry. The study was conducted on a sample of 80 students of primary education at the University of Zadar
