Özet:The purposes of the study were; to investigate the effect of type of high school on spatial ability, to investigate the relationships between students̕ mathematics achievements, logical thinking abilities and their spatial abilities and to investigate the effect of technical drawing course on the development of students̕ spatial abilities. The study was conducted in Ankara with 251 9th-grade students who enrolled to general, Anatolian, foreign language, commercial vocational and industrial vocational high schools. Two measuring instruments were utilized: Spatial Ability Tests and Group Test of Logical Thinking. Spatial Ability Tests, which were developed by Ekstrom, consist of card rotation, cube comparison tests measuring the spatial orientation ability and paper folding and surface development tests measuring the spatial visualization ability. The tests were translated in to Turkish by Delialioglu, (1996). Group Test of Logical Thinking was developed by Roadrangka, Yeany, and Padilla and a Turkish version of GALT was developed by Aksu, Beberoglu and Paykoç (1990). In order to analyze the obtained data, one way ANOVA, correlation analysis and t-test were used. The results of the study indicated that; there is no significant effect of type of high school on students̕ spatial abilities; there is a significant positive relationship between spatial ability and mathematics achievement; there is a significant positive relationship between spatial ability and logical thinking ability; there is a significant positive relationship between spatial ability and technical drawing achievement; and there is a significant development in the students̕ spatial abilities of the students in the technical drawing course.
