This research aimed at detecting the efficiency of a computerized training program based on programming the educational roboticists to develop creative thinking skills for the eighth grade basic education students at Manba'a El-Hekma School in Dhofar Governorate. Also, it investigates the nature of the proposed program, the efficiency of the program, and the significance differences between the two groups. The researcher used the experimental curriculum with the two groups; controlled and experimental to achieve the aims of the research and to test its hypotheses. The sample of the research consisted of 30 Students during the first term of the school year 2018/2019 and they were selected intentionally. Each group included 15 students. The experimental group students were trained to program the educational robotics using the computerized training program. Torrance test of creative thinking was applied before and after on the two groups, in addition to an evaluation card to the projects of the Students. The results showed that there are differences with statistical indication on the level of 0.5 between the two averages of the degrees of the experimental and the controlled groups, before and after the application of the creative thinking test and in the evaluation card of the Students' projects in the experimental group. By implication the research recommended to merge the techniques of the educational robotics and the artificial intelligence in teaching and education and training for provide the female teachers on using that technology and encouraging them to employ it in the process of teaching, using the electronic program prepared in this study.

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a training program based on the Therese theory to develop creative thinking skills for teachers of King Abdullah II Schools of Excellence in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (40) teachers from teachers of King Abdullah II schools for excellence in Al Balqa governorate and Madaba Governorate, In the second semester of the year 2018/2019, and they were chosen intentionally from the study community. They were divided into two groups: the control group by (20) male and female teachers from the schools of King Abdullah II for Excellence in the Madaba governorate who were not subjected to treatment. The experimental group of (20) male and female teachers of King Abdullah II Schools of Excellence in Al Balqa governorate underwent the training program, and the researcher prepared a training program based on the theory of promotion to develop creative thinking skills. The Torrance test was used for creative thinking - the words "A"The study reached the following results: • There were statistically significant differences between the averages of the performance of the post-study members on the test of creative thinking skills, total and sub-due to the group variable (experimental, control), where the differences were in favor of the experimental group. The absence of statistically significant differences between the averages of the performance of the post-study individuals on the test of creative thinking skills, college and sub, due to the variable of the academic qualification and specialization and the interaction between the group variables and the academic qualification and specialization. The study recommended conducting studies to compare programs based on the Therese theory with programs based on other theories to see whether developing creative thinking skills among teachers improves their teaching methods for gifted students.

<p>The purpose of this study is to obtain a profile of students’ creative thinking skills on quantitative project-based protein testing using local materials. Implementation of the research is using quasi-experimental method pre-test post-test control group design with 40 students involved in Biochemistry lab. The research instrument is pre-test and post-test using creative thinking skills in the form of description and students’ questionnaire. The analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0 program to see the significance normality, U Mann-Whitney test for nonparametric statistics, N-Gain score, and the percentage of student responses to the practicum performed. The research result shows that the pretest rate in the experimental group is 8.25 while in the control group is 6.90. After attending a project-based practicum with local materials, the experimental group obtained the mean of posttest is 37.55 while in control class is 11.18. The students’ improvement on creative thinking skills can be seen from the average of N-Gain in the experimental class with 0.32 (medium category) and in the control category with 0.05 (low category). The experimental and control class have different creative thinking skills significantly different fluency, flexibility, novelty, and detail. It can be concluded that quantitative project-based protein testing using local materials can improve students’ creative thinking skills. 71% of total students feel that quantitative project-based protein testing using local materials make them more creative in doing a practicum in the laboratory.</p>

The Impact

Learning trends in the 21st-century require students to have the ability to sort appropriate information from certain sources. To do this, students must have critical thinking skills. One of the learning models that can facilitate students to think critically is a guided-inquiry lab. Thus, the purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze the impact of the implementation of the guided-inquiry lab model on students' critical thinking skills on mechanics material. A pre-experimental method employing one group pretest-posttest only design was applied to obtain students' critical thinking skills data before and after the implementation of the guided-inquiry lab model. A total of 32 students from a junior high school in the city of Karanganyar, Central Java, were involved as the samples in this study. The data obtained were then analyzed using N-gain calculations. Based on the data analysis, there are 81.25% of students have medium creative thinking skills after being taught with a guided-inquiry lab, meaning there is an increase in the average score of students after being taught using a guided-inquiry lab model. It can be concluded that the implementation of the guided-inquiry lab model is effective to improve students' critical thinking skills
