Abstract (2. Language):
The aim of this study is to investigate elementary school students’ space and time relations skill. The data for
this descriptive study were collected in the spring semester of 2013-14 academic years. The sample was
consisted of 557 students attending the same primary and middle school in Nigde, Turkey. In order to
determine students’ use of space-time relations skills, a worksheet with two tasks was utilized. Students were
asked to picture a hill covered with some trees (comprehension of three-dimensional space), and a transparent
pitcher used to water a pot plant (comprehension of reference frame). Document analysis was used to classify
student pictures into comprehension and incomprehension. According to the results, although the number of
students who could comprehend both tasks was very low, the number of students who could comprehend
either three-dimensional space or reference frame increased as the grade arose.
