Study investigates the cognitive degree of intuitive imagination literacy among 51 pre-service high school mathematics teachers in China to address a gap in existing research. Findings indicate limited cognitive scope, with more than half of intuitive imagination literacy content unrecognized. Many teachers show shallow or incomplete cognition, and unclear understanding across multiple aspects. Recommendations include adding related courses and strengthening comprehensive, deep comprehension and clarification of key statements.

Currently, many relevant problems about intuitive imagination literacy have been studied except the cognitive degree of pre-service high school mathematics teachers about it. To address this gap, this study investigates 51 pre-service high school mathematics teachers. Results showed that: 1. The cognitive scope of them about intuitive imagination literacy is not extensive, more than half of the content of intuitive imagination literacy is not recognized; 2. The cognition of many pre-service teachers isnot deep or comprehensive and concentrates at a lower level; 3. The cognition of many pre-service teachers for many aspects of intuitive imagination literacy is not very clear. It is suggested that: 1. experts and teachers who are responsible for educating teachers should pay more attention to intuitive imagination literacy and add relevant courses; 2. pre-service high school mathematics teachers should understand the content of intuitive imagination literacy comprehensively and deeply, and clarify relevant statements. Contribution/ Originality: This study analyzed the cognition degree of mathematical intuitive imagination literacy of current pre-service high school mathematics teachers in China with an open-ended questionnaire selfdesigned. The results are conducive to reforming the present Chinese teaching and curriculum in order to improve the training for pre-service teachers. 1. INTRODUCTION Intuitive imagination is the literacy of using geometric intuition and spatial imagination to perceive the forms and changes of things, and using spatial forms, especially graphs, to understand and solve mathematical problems. In fact, not only the position relations and morphological changes of objects in our life are inseparable from intuitive imagination, but also mathematical thinking needs to be developed by means of intuition and imagination. In addition, intuitive imagination plays an important role in students' innovative spirit and practical ability, so its value in mathematics education cannot be underestimated (Zhang & Pei, 2020) . Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China (2018) promulgated by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in 2018 emphasized that intuitive imagination is an important means to discover and formulate, analyze and solve problems, and is the thinking basis for exploring and forming argumentation ideas, reasoning mathematically, and building abstract structures. At the same time, it is clearly stated that intuitive imagination literacy should be fully implemented at the high school level (Ministry of Educat

FAQs
