Abstract
This study has developed the software to enhance the level of spatial perception of geological structure for high-school students. And it is examined the effects after applying in high school. The contents of the software are compose of the two elements (space direction, space visualizing) forming spatial concepts in the structure geology. The program was applied to the 60 high school students of 4 high schools in the Gyeonggido. And we interviewed with 4students of the study group to obtain the variation of the geology spatial concept. As a result of appling, the geology spatial concept level enhanced significantly (p < 0.05). And the result of interview for 4 students using the program showed more enhanced achievement for the students through the process of space visualizing.
