ABSTRACT: This study investigated the
effectiveness of spatial-visualization-based
instruction on the mathematical problem-solving performance of 35 mathematics education students using one-group
pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. It also aimed to describe how
spatial visualization is applied in solving mathematical problems.
The findings of the study revealed that spatial-visualization-based instruction
improved the mathematical problem-solving performance of students. The
spatial-visualization ability can be applied in solving mathematical problems.
