The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of figure manipulation learning using
storytelling on spatial perception and reasoning of students with intellectual disability. In order
to goal, this study selected a thirty students diagnosed with intellectual disability, administrated
a figure manipulation learning using storytelling took place with the experimental group one to
three times weekly, which added up to be twenty times throughout the research. The results
from the study are as follows;
First, effects of figure manipulation learning using storytelling were a more effective teaching
strategies to improve the spatial perception of students with intellectual disability by providing
them with the way perceive the space. It therefore proves to be a more effective teaching and
learning strategy for developing spatial perception.
Second, Thus, figure manipulation learning using storytelling improves figure reasoning by
providing the opportunity to reasoning of figure and spatial factors to students with intellectual
disability. Also, reading books is more effective teaching strategy to improve verbal reasoning
by leading them to acquire language and widening their imagination.
Thus, it can be concluded that figure manipulation learning using storytelling is a very
effective teaching and learning method that helps high school students with intellectual
disability in improving both spatial perception and improving their reasoning.
