ABSTRACT

Spatial reasoning, recognised as playing a critical role across STEM disciplines, is gaining prominence in mathematics education, not only as fundamental to mathematics, but also as embodied mathematical activity. In this paper, we discuss spatial reasoning and its embodiment in mathematics. We then present a systematic review of the topics as researched and related to deaf and general education from 2010 to 2019. Publication trends during the ten years reveal similarities and differences across both fields. Based on the findings, we share insights, prospects, and provocations for promoting spatial reasoning in mathematics with an emphasis on research and pedagogy for deaf education.

摘要

空间推理被公认为在 STEM 学科中发挥着关键作用，在数学教育中越来越受到重视，不仅是数学的基础，而且是体现的数学活动。在本文中，我们讨论了空间推理及其在数学中的体现。然后，我们对 2010 年至 2019 年与聋哑教育和通识教育相关的研究主题进行了系统回顾。十年间的出版趋势揭示了这两个领域的异同。基于这些发现，我们分享了促进数学空间推理的见解、前景和挑战，重点是聋人教育的研究和教学法。
