Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study is to investigate relationships among primary 7 and 8 grade students’ spatial ability and their gender, mathematics achievement and early childhood education. This study was conducted in İzmir with 674, 7th and 8th grade students of 9 primary schools. The research is a descriptive study. To collect data MGMP Spatial Ability test and personal information form were utilized. In order to analyze the obtained data mean, t-test and Pearson product moment correlation were used. The results indicated that spatial abilities of primary 7th and 8th grade students were low level and significant relationships between spatial ability and gender were not found. There was a significant positive relationship between spatial ability and mathematics achievement, and there was a significant positive relationship between spatial visualization and spatial relations. Furthermore, the students who had early childhood education more performed in spatial ability test than those who had not.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmada ilköğretim 7. ve 8. sınıf öğrencilerinin uzamsal yetenekleri ile cinsiyetleri, matematik başarıları ve okulöncesi eğitimleri arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Çalışma İzmir merkez ilçelerindeki 9 ilköğretim okulundan seçilen 674 ikinci kademe öğrencisi üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırma betimsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmada ölçme aracı olarak MGMP Uzamsal Yetenek testi ve kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde frekans, ortalama, t-testi ve korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, öğrencilerinin uzamsal yeteneklerinin oldukça düşük seviyede olduğu görülmüştür. Uzamsal yetenek ile cinsiyet arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmazken uzamsal yetenekle matematik başarısı arasında orta düzeyde pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki; uzamsal görselleştirme ve uzamsal ilişkiler arasında orta düzeyde, pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Okul öncesi eğitimi alanlar, almayanlara göre uzamsal yetenek testinden daha başarılı olmuşlardır.
