| Abstract: | In a recent study, an attempt was made to assess secondary school children's understanding of the concepts of measurement, in one and two dimensions. Since the concepts studied involve spatial ability, an area in which males supposedly outperform females, the results were also analysed to study any differences in the understanding of the concepts between the sexes. The study was carried out by means of a test paper on a particular section of the secondary school population Junior Lyceum students during March-May, 1985. Therefore, although the results might shed light on possible differences in other sections of the secondary school population, no such generalizations are possible. |
