This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of an educational program based on constructive learning model (CLM) in acquiring and developing scientific concepts the skills of scientific thinking among the female students of the eighth grade in the directorate of education in Al-Mazar Al-Janoubi for the academic year (2020-2021). The study used the quasi approach, where a random sample was selected from the study population that consisted of all the female students of the eighth grade, with a total of (910) female students, while the purposive sample consisted of (57) female students and was randomly distributed to two groups: the experimental group and control group. The study instrument included the test of acquiring scientific concepts, with (32) multiple-choice items and the test of scientific thinking skills, with (30) multiple-choice items distributed to five skills (determining the problem, collecting data, determining hypotheses, testing hypotheses, concluding results); their validity and reliability were verified. The researcher developed the educational program, represented by a number of educational activities in the two units of (living beings and their environment, and motion) from the science textbook of the eighth grade, based on the constructive learning model (CLM). The program consisted of (32) periods and was applied to the experimental group during the academic year (2020-2021). The study results showed that the program, which is based on the constructive learning model (CLM) was effective in promoting the students' acquisition of the scientific concepts and developing their scientific thinking skills, where the mean scores for the experimental group were higher than the control group. The study recommended conducting further experimental studies for similar educational programs that include samples from other educational stages and other textbooks.

The study aimed to investigate the impact of teaching biology using active learning strategies in the acquisition of the tenth- grade students in the Directorate of Education of the of Irbid to the concepts and skills of scientific thinking. The study consisted of (148) male and female students distributed in two groups, each group consisting of (74) male and female students, the first group studied by using active learning strategies, the second group studied in the usual ways. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α≤ 0.05), in the performance on the two- post conceptual acquisition tests. Where the experimental group got a total average (29.43 out of 40) while the control group got a total average (22.42 out of 40), and in post- scientific thinking skills the experimental got a total average (27.61 out of 40) while the control got a total average (21.43 out of 40) ), The difference in favor of the experimental group. The results of the study also showed that there was a significant statistical difference in favor of sex for the male students in acquisition of scientific concepts and scientific thinking skills. In addition, there were no significant differences due to the interaction between the teaching process and sex. For both tests. The findings also showed that there was a strong positive direct correlation between the students’ post acquisition of scientific concepts test and post Scientific Thinking test reached (0.994). The study recommended, according to the findings of the study, to include Active Learning Strategies in the teachers’ preparation programs before and during their service.

Critical And Creative Thinking

Abstract Critical and creative thinking skills are an essential attribute for success in the 21st century. This study aimed to determine the students’ critical and creative thinking skills in the Islamic senior high schools of Surakarta City so that teachers can pay attention to the strength and weakness of each student based on gender differences. This study used descriptive qualitative analysis. The subject of this study amounted to 180 students consisting of 80 male and 100 female students. The measurement of critical-thinking skills used a 6-essay-question instrument of the chemical material of electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions that measures the aspects based on Facione theory, namely: analysis, inference, explanation, interpretation, evaluation, and self-regulation. Then, to measure creative-thinking skills, a 4-essay-question test instrument of the chemical material that includes 4 aspects according to Torrance, fluency, flexibility, original and elaboration, was used. The results showed that the creative-thinking skills of male students are better than those of female students and the critical-thinking skills of female students are better than those of male students.

Introduction. Contemporary requirements to quality improving organizational and methodological support of preschoolers’ thinking skills development in object spatial environment and insufficient development of technological aspect of the problem highlight the search for new pedagogical opportunities among them on the basis of developing potential of children foreign language education.Resolving the contradiction lies in multifunctional substantively rich program creation in this direction and its implementation in the pre-school educational institution. Materials and methods. The study covered 114 (the control group – 57 children, the experimental group – 57 children) Voronezh and Yelets (Russian Federation) preschoolers at the age of 5,5–7,5. To diagnose the development level of imaginatively logical, visibly active and verbally logical thinking skills we used the methods of L.A. Venger, M. I. Ilyina, R. S. Nemov, G. A. Uruntayeva. The results were proved by the χ2-Pearson statistical test. Research results. The quantitative and qualitative review of the experimental teaching statistical data proved the fact that implementation of the authors’ experimental program based on problem teaching and creation of certain pedagogical conditions for preschoolers’ thinking skills stimulation enhance significantly the level of children’s intellectual development during early foreign language education (χ2 = 13,376 > χ20,05). Discussion and conclusion. For the first time a program was created and implementation conditions on the basis of the problem approach were identified. They included different types of children’s’ activity for joint foreign language communicative task performance and stimulated greatly development of preschoolers’ imaginatively logical, visibly active and verbally logical thinking skillsduring problem foreign language teaching. On the basis of the program a tutorially methodical set may be developed which would contribute to improving organizational and methodological support of preschoolers’ thinking skills development.

The purpose of this study was to know the level of scientific thinking skills and the level of mathematical thinking skills. Is there a correlation between the skills of scientific thinking and the mathematical thinking skills of sixth grade students? A study was used to measure the level of scientific and athletic thinking skills. The sample consisted of 455 sixth grade students The total number of female students was 29,680. The descriptive descriptive approach was used to find the relationship between the level of the skills of scientific thinking and mathematical thinking. The most important results of the study were that the level of scientific and sports thinking skills was medium And the level of skills of mathematical thinking, as the higher the level of scientific thinking skills, the higher the level of mathematical thinking skills among students in the sixth grade of primary The study presented several recommendations, the most important of which are the holding of training courses for teachers during the service to train them to employ thinking and skills and train teachers to design scientific positions and implants within the curriculum and address the weakness and lack of thinking skills that appear during teaching and the development of teachers Wu The most important proposals of the study are the study of the auxiliary aspects and the obstacles to the teaching of thinking in the school environment, the extent to which teachers are aware of the skills of thinking and whether they are integrated and taught through teaching, analysis of the content of science and mathematics curriculum developed for the primary stage to learn Availability of basic thinking skills in curricula.
