ZAPATEIRO-SEGURA, Jeimmy Catalina; POLOCHE-ARANGO, Soor Katharine  and  CAMARGO-URIBE, Leonor. Spatial Orientation: A Learning and Teaching Method Focused on Paths and Locations. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2018, n.43, pp.119-136. ISSN 0121-3814.

The purpose of the educational report was to elaborate a didactic proposal to favor the development of spatial orientation through games. The methodology used to develop it included a theoretical study on spatial orientation and games as a teaching resource, the design of the games, the implementation of pilot tests, observation of and reflection on the implementation. As a main conclusion, we sustain that the designed games are useful to encourage, develop and strengthen aspects of spatial orientation in each competence level. Its implementation strengthens the competences that students require to establish reference systems. With the set of descriptors and proposed games, we offer an option for the math classroom that seeks to favor the development of the spatial orientation competence. On the other hand, we demonstrate the importance of using games as an educational resource for teaching and learning math.

Keywords : spatial thinking; competence levels; teaching proposal; reference systems.
