This research was conducted to test the effectiveness of visual-spatial intelligence teaching courseware to teach “equivalent fraction” topic for Form 1 underachieving students. This courseware uses visual-spatial intelligence which is one of the eight multiple intelligences in multiple intelligence theory by Howard Gardner. The design of this research was pretested and posttested on nonequivalent groups design. The sample involved 57 students that comprised 29 for the treatment group and 28 for the control group. This research also tested whether the use of the courseware could increase visual-spatial intelligence in the Multiple Intelligence (MI) test. Students’ perspective towards the courseware in terms of courseware objectives, courseware content, interface design, motivation, and assistance in learning the topic was acquired using questionnaire. ANCOVA test showed that there was a significant effect of the visual-spatial teaching courseware on learning performance compared .....

The objective of this research is to test the effectiveness of visual-spatial intelligence teaching  courseware to teach "equivalent fraction" topic for fom1 1 weak students. This courseware uses  visual-spatial intelligence which is one of the eight multiple intelligences in multiple  intelligence theory by Howard Gardner. The design of this research is pretest and posttest  nonequivalent groups design. The sample for this research is fifty seven students from form l,  comprising of twenty nme for the treatment group and twenty eight for the control group. This  research also tests whether the use of the courseware can increase visual-spatial intelligence in  the Multiple Intelligence (MI) test. Students' perspective towards the courseware in terms courseware  objectives, courseware  content, interface design,  motivation,  and assistance m learning the topic is measured using questionnaire. ANCOV A test, F(l,55)=5.29, p=.03,  had shown that there was a significa.....
