The present study is classified within the framework of investigations of the pedagogical quality of physical space, which can combine the space of the learning process and generally the space of the child's development. Physical space is considered as a material unit which forms for the child: •a material space of daily life, resulting from the sociocultural processes and exists independently from the child, •the versions of the physical space formed by the child itself, •the space of the child's body which is the interaction bearer between the Ego and the Environment. In this way the units of physical space within which the child lives and acts are changed to place and time systems, which are placed in the middle of objective reality, and of its subjective considerations. Such systems could form important material education fields for the concepts we teach, since the child experiences them through its personal practice. The reported study refers to a learning process of primary mathematical concepts of space, which is developed in an experimental ‘place-time’ system, with the characteristics of a ‘problem-situation’ for the taught concepts. The evaluation of this experimental procedure allows us to realise the progress in the learning process of the relative conceptions from the children. It also allows us to distinguish educational perspectives in the didactic approaches evaluating the relation between the child and physical space. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
