| Abstract: |
This chapter introduces the concept of spatial thinking and its importance in education. First, the different scales of space are discussed in order to understand the differentiation between spatial and geospatial thinking. Next, two modern learning theories are briefly presented which mention spatial thinking and spatial competence and the way spatial perception and knowledge is formed during children's development mainly as formulated by Piaget after a series of related researches. In addition, the model of the development of geometric thinking of the pair of Dutch mathematicians van Hiele is mentioned. Finally, three learning components that help develop spatial thinking and various approaches to integrating spatial thinking into the curriculum at different levels of education are presented, and ways of assessing spatial competence are mentioned.
