Résumé
The described pilot experiment focuses on developing students' visuospatial abilities by implementing different models, including tangible and virtual 3D geometric models, in teaching spatial geometry to secondary school students (15 – 20 years old). The case study is presented by thirty-one secondary school students solving the given problems concerning the planar cut sections of the models of a cube. In our experiment, we mainly investigate whether students need support tools in the form of tangible or virtual 3D geometry models to solve spatial geometry problems and, if so, which type of model is most useful for them to be able to solve the problems correctly. We explore how the students work with the appropriate models. The data analysis and presentation of the results obtained are based on Maier’s framework. The results of the pilot experiment serve as a basis for our further work aimed at developing the concept of teaching geometry using different kinds of models.
