| dc.description.abstract | This study is concerned with examining the spatial abilities of pre-service teachers through the analysis of sketch maps. A series of t-tests and a single factor ANOVA analysis were chosen to identify differences between the means in the dependent variable, spatial ability, compared to the independent variables of gender, number of geography course taken, area of study concentration, and self-assessment of one’s sense-of-direction. Data suggest that both gender (p<0.05) and self-assessment of one’s sense-of-direction (p<0.10) explain significant amounts of the variance in scores on the test of spatial ability. | |
