Spatial Intelligence and Academic Performance
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING This chapter contains the background of the study, statement of the problem, hypothesis, conceptual framework, and significance of the study.
Background of the Study
Most of modern education ignores most right-brain capacity (best at expressive and creative tasks), and concentrates on language and numbers, both left brain. There are students who have the ability to visualize with the mind’s eye but couldn’t improve it due to modern education. Although Geometry is for the people who are creative, I don’t think that it is the right subject for them. Geometry is also for the people who think logically. So I wanted to do this research for the students who have the ability to see things creatively to improve their skills.
Because of Philippines’ education, creative Filipinos couldn’t improve their skills. Philippines’ education lacks many subjects and that includes Art Class. Art class is the only subject that they could excel in. Even though they could also excel in Geometry, I still think that they should also learn art. That’s why I decided to do this research.
I know someone who is very creative but she couldn’t really excel in logical subjects. She was always struggling when it comes to Chemistry class. She could only use her ability when we are in Geometry class, poster making, and other activities that include art. I really wanted to let her skills be improved.
I need to do the research because this is for the artistic people. It is also for me to learn more about my topic. I decided to do this research for the other people to acknowledge this skill. Also, I could gain advantage from this topic when I will go to college. And so, I am willing to study more about my topic.
Statement of the Problem
The main problem of the study was to determine if there is significant relationship between spatial intelligence and academic performance in Geometry class in Davao Central High School.
Specifically, this study attempted to seek
