Abstract: Results are reported of an exploratory study of how the teaching projects
show the spatial orientation in Childhood Education in the Basque Country; to
this end, 9 educational projects from a total of 11 publishers were selected. After
analyzing the treatment of static orientation and the orientation of the subject
in real spaces in the second cycle of this educational period, we conclude that
despite the evidence of a large dispersion in the approach to it, the importance
given to orientation is limited, where in the early years there is a greater emphasis
on static orientation, and activities related with real spaces are subsequently
introducing. Finally, we show some reflections about the need to do more activities
about orientation in this Educational period.
