Examining the Relationship between Gender, Spatial Ability, Logical Reasoning Ability, and Preferred Mode of Processing

Öz

The present study investigated the relationships between gender, spatial ability, logical reasoning ability, and preferred mode of processing. Data were collected from 107 prospective elementary teachers at a public university in Turkey. The results revealed that gender was unrelated to preference for visual or analytic processing suggesting that gender did not determine prospective teachers’ preferred mode of processing. Moreover, Spatial ability was correlated with preference but the strength of the correlation was weak, indicating that prospective teachers develop a preference, which can be different from their ability, for processing mathematical information. Males outperformed females on the spatial ability test; however, there were no significant differences between the two sexes in preference and logical reasoning ability. We believe that there is a need for research examining why people differ in preference and how this affects their mathematical performance. Longitudinal studies with large sample may shed light on factors underlying differences in prospective teachers’ preference and performance.
