 note = {This study was conducted to investigate the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in spatial test performance of Myanmar middle school students by using two equivalent spatial ability tests (S.A.T; form A and form B). It considered examining four spatial factors such as spatial perception, spatial orientation, spatial visualization and spatial manipulation. Therefore, the tests include four tasks; Paper Formboard for spatial perception, Figure Rotation for spatial orientation, Paper Folding for spatial visualization and Block Rotation for spatial manipulation. Two thousands and forty students from two different ethnic groups participated in this study. Age range of all participants was 13 to 15 years. Results indicated that spatial perception ability was the best among four factors of spatial ability. Then, Male superior was occurred in three but not all spatial tasks. Elder students did better in the spatial ability items than younger students did. Besides, it was noted there was an interaction of age and gender that makes the students to be superior spatial abilities. Especially, females were tendency to develop their spatial ability from the age of 13 to 15. For males, there was no significant ability difference between 14-year group and 15-year group. In addition, students’ spatial ability levels were different due to the different ethnicity.},
