ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN SISWA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN SOAL-SOAL BANGUN RUANG

This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The population is all students of class VIII even semester of SMP Negeri 5 Bandar Lampung totaling 187 students. Sampling technique a. The technique used in this study is the cluster random sampling technique. Because the population is more than 100 people, the authors determine the sample in this study is 16% or as many as 30 students. This study aims to: (1) determine the percentage of students' abilities in solving spatial problems, (2) find out the causes of students' difficulties in solving spatial problems, (3) find out how to overcome students' difficulties in solving spatial problems. . Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded: (1) students who are able to solve spatial problems are 62.99% and those who have difficulty are 37.01%, (2) the causes of students experiencing difficulties in solving spatial problems are (1) students do not understand the concept of building space in applying it to a problem, (2) students are not careful in working on every question that exists. As for how to overcome student difficulties, namely: (1) increasing students' ability to understand the concept of building space by giving emphasis when delivering material (2) more evaluation in the form of practice questions at the end of each learning activity, (3) giving homework for finalize the material that has been presented.

Visiting Critical Exploration in the Classroom

In this commentary, summarized from a recent interview, the author reminisces about a career dedicated to critical exploration in the classroom. She discusses the formation of the Moon Group, a group of teachers who met over a period of 25 years to study the behaviour of the moon. Duckworth later describes an exercise in which her students experimented with the positioning of a small mirror in the classroom in order to be able to predict where to place it on a wall so one student can see another in a different part of the room. In another exercise, she had university students observe the learning of children by having them solve spatial problems without any advice or prompts from an adult. She concludes by providing guidance for classroom teachers, emphasizing the importance of making sure, “what you want them to learn is worth learning about.”

USE OF DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF VISUALIZATIONS IN THE TRAINING OF ENGINEERING SPECIALISTS: NEEDS VERSUS APPROACHES

The quality of engineering education is closely related to the development of spatial skills of students and the ability to create and read the drawings. Visualization improves the efficiency of the information; as for visualization of geometric tasks of graphical subjects, it helps students faster comprehend complex spatial problems and solve the given exercises.The given article describes the study of the methodology of teaching graphical subjects from the point of view of methods of representations of education materials, the degree of inspiration and engagement of students in learning activities. The research was conducted in Latvia, Lithuania, Spain, Germany and Poland within the project "Contemporary Approach to the Development of Spatial Comprehension through Augmented Reality Content" (SPACAR).

CHANGING PERCEPTION OF HOUSING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: EVALUATIONS OF INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS

Aim: Pandemics have posed a threat to people and affected life throughout history. This study focuses on the experiences of the third and fourth year students of the Department of Interior Architecture and the common use area stakeholders regarding the pre-Covid-19 pandemic and the pandemic process. The aim of the study is to observe whether the future designers' awareness of the changing spatial usage priorities of the house, the spatial problems that arise at different scales, and their professional sensitivities and predictions for the future of housing design. Method: Online face-to-face interviews were conducted with 25 participants selected from among the third and fourth year students of Eskişehir Technical University, Istanbul Technical University, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Marmara University and Hacettepe University Interior Architecture Departments. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. All data collected through interviews and sketches were evaluated with descriptive analysis and five themes were created. Findings: In line with the opinions of the participants, it was understood that they saw the house as a "home" or "shelter" to which they were attached with a sense of belonging and trust. In addition, it has been observed that they need to reconsider the elements that affect the housing design and the relations with the immediate environment in a different way. Conclusion: It was concluded that the awareness of the interior architecture students, who are the designers of the future, about the changing spatial relations in the house, the spatial problems that emerged during the pandemic process, and their professional sensitivities and predictions for the future of housing design.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE DIRECT TRANSITION FROM GEOINFORMATION TO GEOSCIENCE

The article discusses new approaches to the creation and use of geoscience and the associated geo-cognitive space. It uses the formal-logical tools for the set-theoretic representation of the studied pro-cess of transition from geoinformation to geoscience. It introduces and defines new concepts for a generalized set-theoretic representation of the process of converting geoinformation about the territory and objects located on it into geoscience, focused on solving specific spatial problems using the geoin-formation model of the area or the map. The article presents an enlarged technological scheme for cre-ating a geo-cognitive map. It also presents one of the possible solutions to the problem of forming geo-spatial knowledge and creating a geocognitive map on this basis by a direct transition from geoinfor-mation to knowledge.
