The effectiveness of the SCAMPER strategy for learning science in developing lateral thinking skills and scientific sense For middle school students

The research aimed to develop lateral thinking skills and scientific sense among middle school students using the SCAMPER strategy, and the study group consisted of 80 students from the first preparatory grade, divided into two groups, one experimental (40 students) and the other control (40 students). For scientific sense, the results of the research indicated that there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.01) between the average scores of the control and experimental groups in the dimensional application of the total score to test lateral thinking skills in favor of the experimental group, and there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.01) between the average scores of the control and experimental groups in the dimensional application of the total score to test the cognitive aspect of the scientific sense in favor of the experimental group, and there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.01) Between the average scores of the control and experimental groups in the dimensional application of the total degree of the scale of the emotional side of the scientific sense in favor of the experimental group, as the results of the research to use the strategy (SCAMPER) showed great effectiveness in developing lateral thinking skills and scientific sense among middle school students
