AB We apply theoretical tools from theonto-semiotic approach to present skill levels on tasksrequiring visualization and spatial reasoning. These scalesare derived from the analysis of visualization and spatialreasoning skills involved in solving a questionnairesupplied to 400 pre-service primary teachers. In order to setskill levels, we describe different types of cognitiveconfigurations considering the network of mathematicalobjects involved in solving the items. The results show thatthere may be several configurations at each level and thelevels depend on both certain conditions of the task and thevisualization skills required. In most cases, the ratio ofstudents expressing high level is significantly below thanthose of exhibiting low level. The analysis manifests thatstudents put into play variety and quantity of visual objectsand processes; however, most did not reach the solutionsuccessfully. This leads to the need for specific trainingactions.
