The present research is aimed to know the levels of geometrical thinking of college of education " Ibn Al Haitham students I second class" . The sample of the research consists of ( 50 ) male & female students , that were chosen randomly during the academic year 2002-2003 .
To verify the aim of the study , the researcher reviewed the previous cognitive literature , and limited his study to the ( comprehending analytic , ordinal , and inferential ) levels of geometrical thinking .
He constructed a test that was consisted of ( 25 ) items . The test was
presented to a committee of experts in mathematics and methods of teaching math . to assure its validity . The committee agreed on all test items .
A pilot sample consisting of (20) male & female students was chosen from the research population to confmn the reliability of the test . The researcher used anumber of statistical means to analyze data, one of them was building .
The results of the research showed a· clear weakness in the levels of
geometrical thinking among the research sample and according to this result, there is a need for further research and concern on quality of teaching geometries . This subject develops all levels of geometrical thinking . These results determine that students were not mastering the basic geometrical concepts , although most of those concepts are considered a basic request for the academic level that was chosen for this study .The researcher stated many recommendations one of them was to improve the quality of teaching geometries with construction on its different features that develop levels of different geometrical thinking .The researcher suggested more researches in this field to be conducted and using samples from different level samples of students.
