Instructional drawings for teaching about triangles: The case of prospective preschool teachers in India
Résumé
This study investigates prospective preschool teachers’ ability to identify examples and nonexamples
of triangles, as well as the figures they would draw to teach children about triangles. Participants
were 52 prospective preschool teachers in India. Results indicated that participants’ concept image
of triangles was closely related to the prototypical triangle. Most drawings were visually similar to
the prototypical triangle and were context-based drawings, rather than abstract drawings.
