Abstract

Abstract:

The aim of the study was to identify the Impact of Using Divergent Thinking Strategies on developing analytical reading skills among middle school students. To achieve the objectives of the study, the quasi-experimental method was used. The Analytical Reading Skills Test and the proposed educational program based on divergent thinking strategies are designed for this purpose. The proposed test and educational program were applied to a sample of (55) students of the third middle school in Al-Awza'i Intermediate School in Abha. They were divided into two groups, experimental (28) students, and control (27) students. To analyze the data, statistical methods were used: frequencies, percentages, arithmetic mean, and t-test.

The results of the study found that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (05,0) between the mean scores of the female students of the two study groups in the post application of the analytical reading skills test in favor of the experimental group.

In light of these results, a number of recommendations and suggestions were presented.
