Abstract

This study aims at investigating the effect of set of indicators mainly gender,

age, accumulative average and their related interactions on spatial ability

among Al-Quds Open University students studying elementary school education

major. To achieve this goal, Titus & Horsman test was employed after its

being translated into Arabic. Test validity was established by presenting the

translated test to a group of juries who have good knowledge and experience;

whereas reliability was established by computing internal consistency coefficient

using Kauder – Richardson equation which was found to be 0.71.

The study was implemented on a sample that consisted of (132) students

(25 males and 107 females). Students were selected by using stratified sample

from the fourth year elementary education majors at Al-Quds Open University-

Hebron region registering for the first semester of the academic year

2006/2007. Data were analyzed by using three Way ANOVA analysis. Results

revealed that there are statistically significant differences in spatial ability that

can be attributed to two variables, i.e gender for the benefit of male students

and accumulative average for the benefit of high average group. Results

also showed that there are no statistically significant differences that can be

attributed to age or to the interaction between these variables.
