Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of using LOGO on the improvement of spatial visualisation abilities among fourth-grade elementary students. In order to achieve this objective, the researchers have selected the Arabic version of spatial ability test prepared by Paul Newton and Helen Bristoll, which involves spatial visualisation perception. The researchers have employed the pre and post-test quasi-experimental approach. The research was applied to a sample group composed of 53 students enrolled in the fourth grade of the elementary stage. The sample group was selected from an elementary school-based in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Members of the sample group were randomly and simply divided into two groups; specifically the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught using LOGO programming language, while the control group was taught using the traditional method. After implementing the research treatment and processing data and information statistically, findings revealed that there are statistical differences between the two groups; namely, the experimental and control groups – in terms of the development of spatial visualisation perception in favour of the experimental group.
Highlights
Due to the breakthrough in technology which has shed light on all aspects of life, technology has become part and parcel of modern societies
This research aims to provide an answer to the following question: Are there any statistically indicated differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of the development and improvement of spatial visualisation to identify geometrical shapes and drawings and describe them in the dimensional application among students enrolled in the fourth grade of elementary school in Jeddah in favour of the experimental group? The findings obtained revealed the following: Table 9: The table below indicates differences between the average marks obtained by students in the experimental and control groups in the dimensional application of the Spatial Ability Test in identifying and describing geometrical shapes and drawings
Freedom Indication Volume of According to Table (9), students in the experimental group surpass those in the control group in terms of the improvement and development of spatial visualisation related to geometrical drawings and shapes in dimensional application
Summary
Due to the breakthrough in technology which has shed light on all aspects of life, technology has become part and parcel of modern societies. In addition to the recent developments in technology, is computer sets that have been employed in various fields connected with education. Computers can be used in several fields as an educational subject and an assisting tool in education. The computer has become an effective element in the educational environment since it largely contributes to the improvement of students/pupils’ intellectual skills enrolled in the elementary stage (Saleh, 2006). Many techniques and methods have been created to help students develop new innovative patterns of thought; helping them learn about different situations that require the use of logic and analysis. Intellectual capabilities will be further developed and improved
