Spatial Perception among Students with Visual Impairments

Abstract

Abstract: The study aimed to identify spatial perception among students with visual impairments and to examine levels of  spatial perception according to the gender variable (male–female). The research sample consisted of 90 visually impaired students selected using simple random sampling. To achieve the research objectives, the researchers constructed a spatial perception scale based on Edward Tolman’s theory. The scale comprised 24 items designed for visually impaired individuals. The objectives of the study were achieved through the procedures outlined in the research. The results indicated a noticeable increase in the sample’s spatial perception scores, and showed that male students scored higher in spatial perception than female students.
