Abstract

This study aims to examine to what extent the social science textbook, of the second-grade intermediate, includes creative thinking skills in some schools of Tikrit based on the perspectives of its male and female teachers, as well as to identify the differences between their views on this subject according to the years of experience and the number of training courses that have been taken for teaching this subject. In order to accomplish this purpose, the researcher employed the analytical descriptive approach and prepared a questionnaire with six inquiries that addressed the most significant factors, including creative thinking skills. When the method's validity and reliability were confirmed, it was applied to a sample of sixty-five (65) male and female social science teachers.

Subsequently, the information and data were statistically analyzed using approved and appropriate methods, as the results of the study indicated that the inclusion of creative thinking skills in social science textbook in Iraq was high from the perspective of male and female teachers. The study also found that there were no statistically significant differences between the averages of the sample regarding the social science textbook's inclusion of creative thinking skills for the second intermediate grade in some schools of Tikrit, due to restricted variables which include gender, years of experience, and the number of training courses in developing creative thinking skills. The researcher concluded his study with a set of recommendations and research proposals.
