kemampuan spasial, geometri, perbedaan genderAbstract
This study aims to analyze the spatial abilities, especially elements of students spatial perception which are reviewed based on gender differences. The methods use in this research is descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects were four students majoring in mathematics education in the fifth semester at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. Research data were collected trough interviews and validated test instruments with a coefficient of 0.56; 0,76; and 0.94. For its reliability, the coefficient obtained is 0.60 which indicates that the test item has high reliability. The results showed that the spatial ability of male respondents, especially in spatial perception, was higher than the spatial perception ability of female respondents. The level of these abilities is analyzed based on the results of the respondents’ answers and the result of the interviews.
