Enhancing Students’ Spatial Ability by Implementing a Digital Game
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study utilizes a digital game to improve individual’s spatial abilities. An action game is designed and developed to achieve the purpose of the study. The game uses the 3D Studio Max 9.0 to build 3-D models: Photoshop CS2 for drawing characters and scenes textures, and Virtools Dev 4.0 for developing the game. In the game world, tasks are designed to increase spatial ability with rotating question, visual discrimination and visual memory with space, rotate, reverse, inference and displacement. This study provides a model of various entities for learners’ contact, depict size, shape, aspect and position.

Effects of gender differences and spatial abilities within a digital pentominoes game
Spatial ability is a critical skill in geometric learning. Several studies investigate how to use digital games to improve spatial abilities. However, not every learner favors this kind of support. To this end, there is a need to examine how human factors affect learners’ reactions to the use of a digital game to support geometric learning. In this vein, this paper addresses this issue by devel...
