Abstract

Background

Problem-solving and learning in mathematics involves sensory perception and processing. Multisensory integration may contribute by enhancing sensory estimates. This study aims to assess if combining visual and somatosensory information improves elementary students' perimeter and area estimates.

Methods

87 4th graders compared rectangles with respect to area or perimeter either solely using visual observation or additionally with somatosensory information. Three experiments targeted different task aspects. Statistical analyses tested success rates and response times.

Results

Contrary to expectations, adding somatosensory information did not boost success rates for area and perimeter comparison. Response time even increased with adding somatosensory information. Children's difficulty in accurately tracing figures negatively impacted the success rate of area comparisons.

Discussion

Results suggest visual observation alone suffices for accurately estimating and comparing area and perimeter of rectangles in 4th graders.

Implications

Careful deliberation on the inclusion of somatosensory information in mathematical tasks concerning perimeter and area estimations of rectangles is recommended.

在小学估算矩形的面积和周长时,将视觉和体感结合起来并不能提高准确性和缩短反应时间
背景数学问题的解决和学习涉及感官感知和处理。多感官整合可能有助于提高感官估计能力。本研究旨在评估视觉和体感信息的结合是否能提高小学生的周长和面积估计能力。方法87名四年级学生比较矩形的面积或周长,有的学生只通过视觉观察,有的学生则通过体感信息进行比较。三个实验针对不同的任务方面。结果与预期相反,增加体感信息并没有提高面积和周长比较的成功率。反应时间甚至随着体感信息的增加而增加。讨论结果表明,对于四年级学生来说,仅凭视觉观察就足以准确估算和比较矩形的面积和周长。 意义建议在有关矩形周长和面积估算的数学任务中加入体感信息,并仔细斟酌。
