Research on Geometric Intuition of Junior High School Students in China

Abstract

Recently, geometric intuition, as one of the core literacies of mathematics in Junior high schools, has received widespread attention. Many scholars have researched this area in China, but it lacks literature that provides a complete overview and collation of geometric intuition. We searched with the keyword geometric intuition through CNKI, and carefully read and categorised the opinions and research approaches of existing research, and draw the following conclusions: (1) Current research in China mainly focuses on four aspects: the connotation and expression of geometric intuition, the value of geometric intuition, the measurement and current situation of geometric intuition, and the cultivation strategies of geometric intuition. (2) There are some shortcomings in previous studies. For example, the methodology is monotonous and the content of geometric intuition require further expanding. (3) There are some gaps in the research on this topic. For example, the connotation of geometric intuition in the new era needs to be explored in-depth. Additionally, there is a lack of operational strategies, which needs to be verified through practical teaching. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the research methodology and expand the scope of research on geometric intuition in order to make this research more comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth.
