Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine (the impact of the heated chair strategy on fifth-grade female students' science achievement and the development of their scientific thinking abilities). The study included (60) female students from the fifth grade of primary school at Al-Wasiti Primary School for Girls, located on the right side of the Shirqat district in Iraq, with a rate of (30) female students in each cohort and an equalization between. The two divisions of research dealt with a number of variables, and in order to accomplish the research's objective, two instruments were developed. First: a science achievement test with its ultimate form consisting of twenty-five items. As for the second instrument, it is a test of scientific thinking skills; the researcher extracted its validity, distinction, and stability, which totaled (0.86), using the equation koder_Richardson (20), and it may be in its final form of (0.84). The results demonstrated that the experimental group taught using the heated chair strategy outperformed the control group taught using the conventional method. In light of the findings, the researcher suggests reiterating the use of the heated chair strategy in science subject instruction. As a supplement to the findings of the research, it contributes to the improvement of scientific thought. The researcher recommends conducting a comparable study to determine the efficacy of the heated chair strategy at various stages.
