Abstract
The
purpose
of this
investigation
was to
determine
if there was a
correlation
between
participation
in
organized
sports
and a
student's
spatial
reasoning
ability
in
recognition
of
transformations
of
geometric
figures
. This
study
also
attempted
to
identify
which
sports
, if any, had that
correlation
. A
sample
of
three
hundred
fifty-seven
grade
9
and
grade
10
students
from a
public
school
in a
middle
class
suburban
town
in
central
Connecticut
were
used
in this
study
. The
participants
completed
a
sports
participation
questionnaire
and
spatial
reasoning
assessment
. The
researcher
then
analyzed
the
results
using
analysis
of
variance
(ANOVA)
,
T-Test
and
Two-Sample
T-Test
. The
study
found
that
although
the
mean
score
of the
athletes
was
higher
than that of the
non-athletes
it
was not
considered
to be
statistically
significant
.
Another
finding
in this
study
was that the
top
three
sports
that
students
participated
in that had
higher
spatial
reasoning
scores
were
lacrosse
,
track
and
volleyball
. In
addition
, the
top
three
sports
that
students
participated
in that had
lower
spatial
reasoning
scores
were
cheerleading
,
field
hockey
and
hockey
.
However
, these
findings
were also not
considered
statistically
significant
. The
only
statistically
significant
finding
from this
study
was that the
male
students
outscored
female
students
on the
spatial
reasoning
assessment
regardless
of
sports
participation
.
