The first semester of the academic year 1434-1435 H. At the end of the experiment, the same research tools were applied to both groups The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post- The experimental group obtained an average of (43.89) against the average (26.53), as well as in the higher thinking skills test. The pilot obtained an average of 99.32 versus 13.53 for the control. The difference in achievement tests and higher thinking skills is evident in favor of the experimental group. In the light of these findings, some recommendations and proposals were made.
