Abstract

The main purpose of this research was the assessment of junior high school girl student spatial intelligence. A survey research method was used. The statistical population (N=3430) included all girl secondary school students of region one of Hamedan city in (94-95) school year. Using Ratio Stratified sampling method and krejcie and Morgan table about 346 students (179) of first grade and (169) of second grade were selected as study sample. The data gathering instrument was Khaing &et al (2011) questionnaire. The instrument validity using content validity reported as acceptable by experts and its reliability were computed by cronbach alpha about 0/769. The collected data were analyzed using one sample and Independent t-test The findings showed that the student's spatial intelligence was at moderate level and the mental rotation ability in both grades was lower than visualization and visual memory components and there were significant differences between the second and first grade students in spatial visualization component. In sum it should be noted, through knowing the student amount of spatial intelligence, in addition of providing appropriate opportunity for education and reinforce of Thinking in different way, mental imagine and perception of spatial relations skills ,they will be ready for living in uncertain future and make suitable selections.
