The Effect of an E-Learning-Informed Infographic Variability (Stable-Unstable) of Counselling Education in Developing Spatial Ability in Chemistry-Majored Female Undergraduates

Abstract

This paper researches the impact of various infographic patterns (stable-unstable) related to an E-learning technique in the development of spatial ability in the Department of Chemistry female undergraduates. To achieve this goal, the researcher designed an E-learning program to teach psychological counselling following Al-Jazzar's (2013) model. Some sub-items of this model have been modified sub-steps to fit research design. To verify the subjects’ spatial ability, a test was designed. The test designed is a 30-item multiple choice-patterned test The methodology is a two-set design with pre-test and post-test technique. The research sample consisted of (121) third-year female undergraduates of the Department of Chemistry, the sample was randomly divided into a controlling group and a test group. The controlling group received learning through a stable infographic pattern, while the test group received learning through an unstable infographic pattern. Test results showed statistically significant differences in the performance of the two groups. The first group outperformed in the post-test and the second group outperformed in both the pre-test and post-test. additionally, no statistically significant differences have been observed in the average test scores of both groups in the post-test. Finally, the study proposes a set of recommendations and suggestions.
