Levels of geometric thinking with the students of the Department of Mathematics in the College of Education/ Ibn AL Haitham by the University of Baghdad

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the levels of geometric thinking among the students of the Department of Mathematics in the College of Education-Ibn AL Haitham at the University of Baghdad , and to achieve the aims of the study was the adoption of a measure of Alharby (2003) prepared the Saudi environment and consists of) 25 (items distributed on five levels (level Visualization , Analysis , Informal Deduction, formal Deduction, Rigor Deduction ) and reached the study sample ( 206 ) male and female students from the Department of Mathematics in the College of Education–Ibn AL Haitham at Baghdad University, was selected in the manner stratified random , was to verified the veracity of the tool by honesty virtual submitting it to the experts and certified construction and stability in a way Alpha Cronbach , and use the researcher to analyze the results of a number of statistical means of which , the test samples t for two independent samples , Pearson correlation coefficient , the study found the results of the most important : Override students sample the first level (Visualization ) by(% 84.5 ) did not exceed the students' levels of the other four , and there are no differences statistically significant levels of geometric thinking attributed to sex , there are no statistically significant differences in the levels of geometric thinking among students and students of the first phase the fourth phase, the study has come out with a number of recommendations and suggestions .
