| Özet |
| This study aims to analyze and interpret primary school students’ conceptual knowledge of geometric solids. For this reason, a diagnosis test consisting of three questions which measure primary school students’ conceptual knowledge of cube, square prism and rectangular prism. Participants of the study consisted of 272 sixth graders among whom 12 were selected for interviews. Data obtained were analyzed both quantatively and qualitatively. According to the results, very few students were able to name solids and also their characteristics. Furthermore, it was determined that students have some misconceptions of geometric concepts. Generally, students either assimilated three-dimensional geometric concepts to two-dimensiomal geometric shapes or declared real names of pictures. Moreover, some students did not provide any response or explanation to the questions. |
