BACKGROUND
This research investigated whether there was a significant change in the visuospatial working memory of children who underwent abacus training.
METHOD
A quasi-experimental research design with a quantitative approach was employed for the study. Ninety (90) children were recruited as the experimental group and one hundred (100) children as the control group. The experimental group participated in abacus training as part of their extracurricular activities at school. A questionnaire assessing visuospatial memory was administered to both groups before and after the training.
FINDINGS
The findings revealed a significant change in the mean scores of the experimental group from before and after the abacus training (p < .01) compared to the control group. This signified that abacus training may potentially lead to significant improvement in visuospatial working memory.
CONCLUSION
It is suggested that future research be conducted using a longitudinal approach to enable a more comprehensive assessment of the full course of abacus training.
背景
本研究调查了接受珠算训练的儿童的视觉空间工作记忆是否有显著变化。
方法
本研究采用定量方法的准实验研究设计。招募了九十名儿童作为实验组，一百名儿童作为对照组。实验组将珠算训练作为学校课外活动的一部分。在训练前后，对两组儿童都进行了一份评估视觉空间记忆的问卷。
结果
结果显示，与对照组相比，实验组在珠算训练前后的平均得分有显著变化（p < 0.01）。这表明珠算训练可能会显著提高视觉空间工作记忆。
结论
建议未来采用纵向研究方法进行研究，以便更全面地评估珠算训练的全过程。
