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.

The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using the overlapping waves strategy during the teaching of geography lessons in acquiring realistic thinking skills and improving the attitudes towards geography in a sample of sixth grade students in Jordan using the quasi-experimental method. The purposive method was used to select the study sample (n = 64) students, who were randomly assigned either to the experimental group (n = 32), taught geography lessons with the overlapping waves strategy method, or the control group (n = 32), taught  geography lessons with the usual method. The Realistic Thinking Skills Test (RTT) was prepared with its three dimensions, as well as the attitudes towards Geography Scale (AGS). After verifying their validity and validity, the two instruments were applied to the sample as pre post intervention. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.05) in the post test between the mean of the experimental group and the control group scores on the Realistic Thinking Skills Scale (RTS) and the Attitudes towards Geography Scale (AGS) in favor of the experimental group, indicating the efficiency of using the overlapping waves strategy used in the current study in geography teaching.

The aim of this study is to know (The Effect of Flipped Learning strategy in the Achievement of sixth grade students and the development of Their Creative Thinking). In order to achieve the objective of the study the two researchers depended on the experimental design, The sample of the study included (50) students of the AL- Smaha primary school students as (25) students for the first experimental group which studied according to the Flipped Learning strategy, and (25) students for the control group which studied depending to the traditional method, and it was qualified in the following variables (previous information, previous achievement, age). The test were prepared and it considered of (20) items as multi-choice type, and verifying its veracity by presenting it to group of experts and specialists, and verifying the veracity of the content by preparing test map. The reliability estimate was (0.82). The creative thinking test prepared too, which considered of (6) activates they were veracity and the reliability was (0.77). The results of the study showed: The students of the experimental group who studied according to the Flipped Learning strategy exceeded the students of the control group who studied according to the traditional method in both of the achievement test and the creative thinking test The researchers recommended several recommendations, including the need to adopting new teaching strategies. The study also suggested new scientific studies and other stages or other variables such as scientific thinking, developing critical thinking, the attitude towards the sciences.

Students should begin to engage in problem-solving and higher order thinking skills in mathematics in the early years of school in preparation for 21st-century technology and problem-solving competencies. Using the Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ), this study examines the distribution of significant teacher quality factors related to sixth-grade students’ mathematics competencies across the regions of Kenya and Zimbabwe. The mathematics competencies range from Pre-numeracy to Abstract Problem Solving level. First, we use a multi-level regression model to analyze the relationships between teacher quality and students’ mathematics competencies to find out which teacher quality variables are important for the improvement in students’ mathematics competencies in the participating countries. We then illustrate the distributions of the teacher quality factors within the regions in Kenya and Zimbabwe. From the multilevel model analysis, the teacher quality factors related to students’ increase in mathematics competencies were teaching experience, mathematics competencies, and teachers’ academic qualifications. We observe that students taught by permanently employed teachers had lower math competencies and that the days spent by the teachers in professional development influence students’ mathematics competencies negatively. The distributions of these teacher quality factors that matter in sub-Sahara Africa are concentrated in the capital cities and particular regions in Kenya and Zimbabwe. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

The aim of this research was to uncover the effectiveness of using the skills of the Quart program to improve academic achievement and to develop creative thinking in modern subjects for the sixth graders. The researcher used the experimental method, and applied the research to two samples, one of them experimental and experimental, of the sixth grade students in Jeddah, the number of (56) students, divided equally. The two groups were subjected to the test sample to test the creative thinking of Figure (B) By the researcher, where it was applied after the seizure and to verify its sincerity and stability. Using the SPSS test system, the results showed that the experimental group students outperformed their counterparts in the control group in the average of the degrees of creative thinking and post-academic achievement, and that this superiority was statistically significant at the level of α (00,05). The results also showed the effectiveness of the skills of the courteous program in improving academic achievement and developing the creative thinking of the experimental sample students. (10.89) compared to (7.57) for the control, with a difference of (3.32). For the pilot. In light of the results of the research, the researcher recommended a set of recommendations, the most important of which is the employment and use of thinking programs such as the curriculum in teaching Islamic education courses at all levels of study.
