The Effectiveness of a Proposed Training Program based on Digital Learning Objects in Developing the Spatial Ability for Preservice Mathematics Teachers in Qassim University

Abstract

     This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a proposed training program based on digital learning objects in developing the spatial ability for preservice mathematics teachers in Qassim University. The sample was 30 male students, half of them represented the experimental group, which had the training program, and the other half represented the control group. The study tool was a test self-made by the researcher for the spatial ability and applied for the two groups before and after the experiment. Findings showed the effectiveness of the proposed program on the spatial ability for the members of the experimental group. It also, appeared that there were a statically difference for the experimental students in post implementation of the spatial ability test for each of its components and for it as a whole. In view of the study’s results, a number of suggestions and recommendations were given.
