The SOLO model places responses provided by
students on a certain level instead of placing students there themselves.
SOLO taxonomy, including five sub-levels, is used for determining
observed structures of learning outcomes in various disciplines and grade
levels. On the other hand, the spatial orientation skill is the ability to
visualize an object’s view from a different perspective. A number of
studies on examining preservice teachers’ spatial abilities have been
performed. In this study, elementary mathematics preservice teachers’
spatial orientation skills as components of spatial skills were evaluated
through the SOLO model in ways that are different from other researches.
