The purpose of this research in Honduras is... first,
to measure the level of geometry knowledge usingtests based on van Hiele Levels.... Second, to
conduct an intensive course on geometry contentsusing Honduran mathematics texbooks for
secondary junior high school.... Third, to determine
the impact of intensive course..... And also, toReview researchs results for implementation and
developing on further teachers training programs inHonduras.

The main questions of research are... What is the
Geometry knowledge by van Hiele Levels ofundergraduate pre-service mathematics teachers
from Pedagogical Universitys Initial teacherstraining program in Choluteca?
{CLICK} and... What can learn this undergraduate
pre-service mathematics teachers through anintensive course on Geometry contents using
secondary mathematics textbooks?

Well, this research was conducted on August, nineth
to thirteenth of this year by a term of five days.{CLICK} the target group is a sample of 48
undergraduate pre-service mathematics teachersfor junior high school, all of them from Honduras
Pedagogical Universitys Initial teachers trainig
program.{CLICK} The stages was.... Pre-test, Intensive
course, and post-test

The test instruments used were...
{CLICK} pre and post test of van Hiele GeometryTest developed by Usiskin
{CLICK} pre and post test of Basic Geometrycontents of fourth to sixth grades
{CLICK} pre and post test of Basic Geometry
contents of seventh to nineth grades

this table there are the geometry contents from
fourth to nineth grades in Curriculum ofHonduras.Also there are the number of class hours pereach unit.

These were the contents studied in Intensive
course. (see table 4 in appendices)

The scoring of basic geometry tests is assigning 1
point per each correct response.{CLICK} And... All of tests were administered to all
participants, Pre-tests on first day, Post-tests on lastday

These were the participants
The only difference between third year group ofstudy and fouth year group of study. Is that fourth
year group has teaching practice experience inelementary school and secondary junior high
school, and, third year group no have.

Figure 1. Correct Responses of van Hiele Geometry
Test (All participants) There is a small increment of correct answers on
majority of Items. On pre-test Items Q1, Q3, and Q9 there is the
highest amount of correct answers. Unexpected result on Item Q7. Option A has
an increment of responses.

Figure 2. Distribution into van Hiele Levels (All
participants, 3 of 5 Criterion)Tendency of the whole group to move to highestlevel. And also there is a decrement in the number ofparticipants that Not Fit in van Hiele Model (from25% to 10% of participants).

Figure 3. Correct Responses of Basic Geometry Test
on 2nd Cycle of BE (All participants)Majority of Items have an increment of the numberof correct responses (Q1, Q2, Q4, Q5, Q7 Q8, Q9 andQ10). And the two Items have decrement (Q3 and Q6).The Item Q10 (for Level 3) has a significantincrement of correct responses.

Figure 4. Distribution into Score of Basic Geometry Test on 2ndCycle of BE (All participants)There are better results in this test after Intensive Course, probablythe training of Geometry contents on Third Cycle (grades 7th 9th)help them to understand better the Geometry contents of SecondCycle (grades 4th 6th).

Figure 6. Correct Responses of Basic Geometry Test
on 3rd Cycle of BE (All participants)Item Q2 and Q5 have highest percentage of correctresponses for the group.On Item Q5 has a significant increment of correctresponses (increased by 28/48).Unexpected result was observed on Item Q4 wherethe option B (incorrect response) has an increment
of responses.

Conclusions (1)
What is the Geometry knowledge by van HieleLevel of undergraduate pre-service mathematicsteachers from Choluteca FID-UPNFM?By a grading criterion of 3 of 5 correct answers onvan Hiele Geometry Test, the 42% of participantsfixed on Level 1 and the 25% in Level 2. These meanthat van Hiele Level of the majority is Level 1, after
the Intensive Course.

Conclusions (2)
What can learn undergraduate pre-servicemathematics teachers from Choluteca FID-UPNFM,thought a intensive course on Geometry contentsusing secondary junior high school mathematicstextbooks?There was a small difference between theperformance of correct responses of Pre-test and
Post-test. They showed interest to learn more about Geometrycontents. In the intensive course participants only got a lot ofcontents with out opportunity of getting in self.

Significance of Results
These results are useful to discuses improvement ofmathematics curriculum of Pre-service Mathematicsteacher for Third Cycle of Basic Education in FID-Choluteca.

Recommendations
The participants has a low level performance inGeometry (by van Hiele Model), then it is necessaryto review and improve curriculum design of FID-UPNFM.Conduct a similar research for diagnosis in otherlocations of Honduras where is implemented InitialTeacher Training for Mathematics Teacher of Third
Cycle of Basic Education.
