This study reviews the literature on the topic of sex dimension as it affects the attainment of the conservation of distance among African children in Sierra Leone. An investigation was done to determine the age at which these children attain conservation. Subjects were primary school children from different parts of the country who ranged from classes (grade levels) II to VII. It was found that the age of conservation was 12 years and that males in the sample performed better than females. This is in line with conclusions drawn from similar studies of African children. Ce travail a pour but d'etudier l'influence de la dimension sexuelle sur l'atteinte de la conservation de la distance chez les enfants africains du Sierra Leone. Une recherche a ete effectuee afin de preciser 1'age a laquelle ces enfants atteignent la conservation; elle a ete menee a travers le pays avec des enfants de niveau primaire (de la deuxieme a la septieme annee). Il a ete constate que l'age de conservation etait 12 ans et que les enfants maes de 1'echantillon avaient une meilleure performance que les filles. Cette constatation est conforme aux conclusions d'etudes semblables menees avec d'autres enfants africains. |
