Learning Materials to Increase Spatial Ability of Senior High School Students

There are five terms which are currently being discussed a lot to formulate their definitions, they are spatial intelligence, spatial ability, geography skill, geoliteration and ecoliteration. These terms are spoken by many people, but rarely explained the differences consistently. This research tries to identify or to be more exact suggests element or component of each terms and measuring one of spatial ability in everyday life. Research method that used was descriptive. Collecting data technique was by literature study, test, readibility test of learning materials. Sample technique that used is stratified random with the amount of sample 120 people. Based on research results, spatial ablity and geography skill can be increased normatively. Although this research only use learning materials to be read, but it was already proven to be helpful, especially if it is delivered through face-to-face meeting in the class, being practiced, and trained to students, the results will be more significant. Finally the researchers recommend that spatial ability and geography skill to be develop in case of preparing a generation that more positive in assesing the excellence of geography.
