After adjusting the tools and applying the study experience, it was concluded that there are statistically significant difference between the students of the two groups (experimental and control) in the post- measurement of the achievement test and the attitude scale in favor of the experimental group. Also, between the pre and post measurement of the achievement test and the attitude of the experimental group in favor of the post measurement, and the high effectiveness of the seven- cycle learning strategy role in developing achievement and the attitude towards achievement and direction of the students of the Curriculum and Teaching Methods course (CUR 330). In the light of the results, several recommendations were recommended, the most important of which is the need to train faculty members to use constructive learning strategies, especially the seven- cycle learning, in teaching various courses at the university level.
