Abstract EN

The effect of Abaq (UCMAS) Program on the increase of intelligence in WISC-111 among children in Sudan.

The study explores the possible effect of Abaq Program on the enhancement of intelligence as measured by the Third Edition of Wechsler Intelligence Scaled for Children.

143 participants represnts the sample of the study withdrawn from 14 primary schools and were selected by stratified and random techniques.

The age between 6-11 years with an average of 7.9 years and SD=0,88, both males 68 (48%) and females 75 (52%) and the sample was divided to groups: expereimental (71) and controlled (72) matched for IQ, age, gender and level of urbanization.

The experimental group was given an intensive Abaq training by qualified teachers in the academic year 2006-2007 for eight months while the controlled group receives no training.

At the end of the trial, WISC-111 was re-applied for the two groups.

The most remarkable finding of the study is that: Abaq program increases verbal Intelligence, performance intelligence and full intelligence by 1.1, 5.3 and 4, respectively.

It has more effects on fluid intelligence (pratical, visual-spatial) compared to crystallized one (verbal-oral-learned).

This level of increase is considered huge compared to the secular increases of intelligence in the Sudan per decade (2.9) and generation (8.7).

The study suggests futher investigation for the long effect of Abaq after intensive training for 10 levels during three years as well as applying the program for children between 6-12 year olds.
