| Article Name : | | | INTERACTIVE EFFECT OF CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH TO INSTRUCTION IN MATHEMATICS AND IQ OF STUDENTS ON THEIR SPATIAL ABILITY | | Author Name : | | | Sati S.

For this purpose, an intervention programme based on constructivist strategies of about 38 hours was developed for students of standard eighth spreading over nine weeks. The aim of the research was to ascertain whether constructivist strategies-based instruction facilitates the spatial ability of students, and if so, for which level of intelligence quotient of students. Structured tools were used in study. The participants of the study included 48 and 52 students in the experimental and control groups respectively. Students were found to be significantly influenced by the intervention programme. Thus, it may be said that the intervention programme based on constructivist approach to instruction is found to be effective in enhancing spatial ability of students. The effect size of the intervention programme on spatial ability of students was found to be 0.427 which is small in magnitude. There was no significant effect of IQ as well as the interaction effect of treatment and IQ on students' spatial ability. | | Keywords : | | |
