Abstract
The current research aims to identify the following:
The effect of the P.E.C.S strategy on developing convergent thinking for fifth-grade literary students in philosophy and psychology. To achieve the research objective, the researchers put the following alternative hypotheses:There is no statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students who study the subject (philosophy and psychology) according to the (P.E.C.S) strategy and the average scores of the control group students who study the same subject according to the usual method in the dimensional convergent thinking test.There is no statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students who study the subject (philosophy and psychology) according to the P.E.C.S strategy) in the pre and posttests of convergent thinkin The researchers followed the experimental design with partial control, as the researchers intentionally chose the fifth literary students from the two secondary schools of Ibn Kathir to represent the experimental group (30) students and Al-Nahrain School for Boys to represent the control group (32) students, and these two schools belong to the Salah al-Din Education Directorate / Education Department Sharqat. The research sample consisted of (62) studentsThe researchers prepared a general test for convergent thinking that included (30) test items distributed on (6) skills. The paragraphs varied between multiple choice, and its validity, stability, discriminatory strength, effectiveness of wrong alternatives and its difficulty factor were confirmed.After preparing the research tool, the convergent thinking test was applied before, and the experiment began in the first semester corresponding to Sunday (10/27/2019), and ended on Thursday (1/23/20), with two sessions per week for each group, and after completing the Application of the experiment The researchers applied the research tool (the dimensional convergent thinking test) to the two research groups, and after collecting and processing data statistically using the t-test for two independent samples, the results showed the following:
- 1The students of the experimental group outperformed the students of the control group in the dimensional convergent thinking test.
- 2The students of the experimental group outperformed the students of the control group in the pre and post tests of convergent thinking and in favor of the post test.
