Abstract
The study aimed to study the effectiveness of using the Kagan structures strategy in the achievement of fourth-grade intermediate students in the subject of computer and developing their evaluative thinking. The study sample consisted of 84 fourth-grade intermediate students who were intentionally selected in a government school affiliated with the Department of Religious Education and Islamic Studies in northern Baghdad Governorate. The sample was randomly distributed into two groups: one experimental consisted of 41 students, who studied through the Kagan structures strategy, and the other is the control group consisting of 43 students who studied according to the traditional method. To achieve the study objectives, the experimental method was used, as the researcher prepared two tests for academic achievement and evaluative thinking skills. Their validity and stability were verified. The results showed that the students of the experimental group who studied using the Kagan structures strategy outperformed the students of the control group who studied according to the traditional method in the two tests of achievement and evaluative thinking skills. The study concluded with several recommendations, including the effectiveness of teaching using the Kagan structures strategy in teaching the computer subject because of its Positive impact on academic achievement and development of their evaluative thinking
