Keywords:
Gender, Van Hiele, geometric thinking, mathematics education, Ghana
Abstract:
This study examined gender differences in the geometric thinking levels of senior high school students in Ghana using the Van Hiele model. The study involved 320 Year Three students and examined differences in students' geometric thinking levels by gender.
Keywords:
School context, geometric thinking, Van Hiele, senior high schools, Ghana
Abstract:
This quantitative study examined differences in students' geometric thinking levels across three Ghanaian senior high schools. The study involved 320 students and used the Van Hiele Geometry Test. School-level differences in geometric thinking were examined using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA.

Age, geometric thinking, Van Hiele model, senior high school students, Ghana
Abstract:
This study investigated the geometric thinking levels of Year Three Senior High School students in the Asante Akim South Municipality, Ghana, using the Van Hiele model. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted, involving 320 students selected from three public senior high schools. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a weak but statistically significant positive relationship between age and geometric thinking level (r = .24, p = .001).
Keywords:
Database literacy, mathematics achievement, ICT education, quantitative research, senior high school students
Abstract:
This study investigated the relationship between database system literacy and mathematics achievement among Senior High School students in the Asante Akim South Municipality of Ghana. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was used with 320 students selected from three public Senior High Schools. The findings showed a moderate level of database system literacy (M = 3.24, SD = 0.71) and a positive statistically significant relationship between database system literacy and mathematics achievement (r = .48, p < .001).
Keywords:
Van Hiele theory, mathematical modelling, infant mortality, mathematics education, quantitative research
Abstract:
This study investigated the relationship between Van Hiele geometric thinking levels and students' mathematical modelling competence using infant mortality data from Juaso Government Hospital. A quantitative correlational design was employed with 320 Senior High School students. The results showed a significant positive relationship between Van Hiele levels and mathematical modelling competence (r = .62, p < .001), and Van Hiele levels significantly predicted students' ability to analyze mortality trends.
Keywords:
Van Hiele theory, geometric thinking, metal casting, foundry technology, technical education, quantitative research
Abstract:
This study investigates the relationship between students' Van Hiele geometric thinking levels and their performance in metal casting projects in technical education institutions. The study adopts a quantitative cross-sectional correlational design involving technical education students enrolled in foundry and metal casting courses. The proposed study examines whether geometric reasoning contributes to pattern design, mold preparation, dimensional accuracy and overall project quality.
