| description | The importance of spatial ability in learning different school subjects and being successful at certain jobs
has been recognized globally. The vast majority of the studies on the topic have focused on the nature of
the phenomenon, the factors that affect its development), and the difference between males and females
on spatial ability. However, still there is a need to conduct research studies to have a better
understanding of the construct, its relations with other abilities, and the ways to foster its development.
By providing a literature review, this study addresses those issues and summarizes different ways of
measuring spatial ability and fostering its development to suggest study directions to future researchers. |
