Abstract

Spatial reasoning is the processing of non-verbal information in the form of images or symbols to solve problems. In this regard, this research aims to describe students' spatial reasoning based on Gestalt law trend to solve geometry problems. The approach of this research is qualitative research. Qualitative research is used to describe students' reasoning based on Gestalt law tendency to solve geometry problems. The subjects in this research were students who had studied geometry lessons. This research describes one categories of students' spatial reasoning based on Gestalt law, namely students' reasoning with the closeness law tendency.

Highlights

  • Spatial reasoning is the processing of non-verbal information in the form of images or symbols [9] to solve problems

  • There is an organizational theory of perception about understanding in solving problems, namely the Gestalt Theory. [8] stated that in making a model of perceptual models, people need a continuity of good spatial reasoning from Gestalt Theory

  • The approach in research is qualitative used to describe student reasoning based on the Gestalt law in solving geometry problems

Summary

Introduction

Spatial reasoning is the processing of non-verbal information in the form of images or symbols [9] to solve problems. Previous writers have argued that Gestalt principles provide a useful guiding framework for categorizing multi-sensory displays [1] Gestalt is one of the schools of psychology that studies a phenomenon as a whole or totality, wherein it contains four laws namely proximity law, closeness law, equality law, and continuity law. These four laws will support spatial reasoning
