Abstract
The purpose of this research was to: 1) develop applied graphics based on the mandala structure, 2) to study the effects of using graphics based on the mandala structure for increasing the visual attention, the visuospatial ability for children at risk of ADHD, the study effects during before and after the experiment in the group that received training using applied graphics based on the mandala structure, the study effects comparing between the training groups and without training groups using applied graphics based on the mandala structure. The sample were sixty children at risk of ADHD in grade 1 to 6 from Hua Khu and Wat Sao Thong Klang School, Samut Prakan Province, randomly and equally assigned to the experimental and control groups, 30 people per group. Research instruments were the applying graphic images based on the mandala structure, Continuous performance task (Cpt), Corsi Block test. The data were analyzed using t-test.
The results were as follows:
1. The experimental group has the correctness of response to visual attention (Cpt) higher than before being trained to use graphic images using the mandala image structure at the .05 level of significance.
2. The experimental group had the correctness of response to visual attention (Cpt) higher than the control group at the .01 level of significance.
3. The experimental group has the correctness of the response to the visual ability and the relative dimension (Corsi Block) higher than before being trained to use the graphic image using the Mandala image structure at the .05 level of significance. In conclusion, drawing on the develop applying graphic images base on mandala structure could enhance the visual attention and visual actively, and the visuospatial ability for children at risk of ADHD.
