Abstract

Currently, geometric intuition literacy has attracted extensive attention from all walks of life. Many relevant problems about it have been studied except the cognitive degree of geometric intuition literacy of pre-service junior high school mathematics teachers. In this study, 40 pre-service junior high school mathematics teachers in China are surveyed using an open-ended interview method. The analysis of the data reveals that: (1) The accuracy of the cognition about geometric intuition literacy is not high. (2) The cognitive scope of pre-service high school mathematics teachers about geometric intuition literacy is not extensive and pre-service teachers' knowledge of geometric intuition literacy is focused on the more generalized elements. (3) The cognition of many pre-service teachers is not deep or comprehensive and concentrates at a lower level. (4) The cognition of many pre-service teachers for many aspects of geometric intuition literacy is not very clear. Therefore, it is suggested that: Teacher training schools should reform their curricula and pay attention to teacher trainees' learning and education on geometric intuition literacy. Special training and education on core literacy should be strengthened in pre-service teacher training so that geometric intuition literacy can be valued. Pre-service junior high school mathematics teachers should actively learn and study core literacy to improve their understanding of geometric intuition literacy.
