Enhancing spatial abilities through exposer to computer-aid design programs

Spatial ability is important in the learning and understanding of mathematics and has been recognized as an indicator of mathematics achievement and STEM success. The present study aims to investigate how experiences with computer-aid design programs can enhance student’s spatial ability measured by mental rotation skills. Quantitative data were collected before and after intervention using the redrawn Vandenburg and Kuse Mental Rotation Test by Peters et al. (1995). A paired sample t-test and 95% confidence intervals indicated a statistically significant difference between observed pre and post test scores. The calculated Cohen’s d effect size of 0.63 indicated the CAD intervention had a positive impact on students’ mental rotation skills. It can be concluded that utilizing these technologies can aid in developing and improving spatial abilities which can lead to improved mathematics achievement and STEM success.
