In this study, the visual estimation skills of fourth grade elementary school students based on their mathematical thinking processes were investigated. The research questions focus on understanding how students' mathematical thinking processes influence their visual estimation skills. A total of 445 students participated in the study. The…

In a study involving the reading of bar graphs it was found that students in the control group (who did not receive generalization cues) did significantly better than those in the experimental group. (Ed.)

Aesthetic sensitivity is present in children to varying degrees, but creativity emerges and develops with intelligent assessment of aesthetic experiences. (JD)

Training in perspective-taking skills (the ability to imagine how objects look relative to one another from another person's point of view) resulted in considerable transfer of learning to other tasks and continued subject superiority over controls seven months later, indicating an inter-stage change in cognition.

In a study, kindergarten and third grade students were given handwriting copying practice using different perceptual prompts to reproduce model letter forms. Results indicate that groups trained with perceptual prompts produced more accurate reproductions. (Author/JN)

A program of training in visual analysis (visual short-term memory, discrimination of letters and words, and remedial instruction) proved no more effective than a remedial program without visual training in improving the reading skills of second-and third-grade nonreaders with visual perceptual difficulties.
