The current research aimed at examining the effectiveness of Beyer's Strategy in teaching Home Economics to develop probe thinking skills and habits of mind among a sample of (80) 6^th grade students enrolled at Alsalam Primary School at Shebin El Koum.

The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (n.

40) and a control group (n.

40) students.

To achieve this aim, a test of probe thinking skills, and measure of the habits of mind were prepared and applied.

The quasi- experimental and descriptive approaches were applied.

Following the statistical analysis using SPSS, the results of the research revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the pre- and post- application of the Probe Thinking Skills Test, and the Measure of The Habits of Mind in favor of the post application; and there were statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups' mean scores in the post- application of both The Probe Thinking Skills Test, and the Measure of The Habits of Mind in favor of the experimental group.

Also; there were statistically significant correlation between the habits of mind and probe thinking skills, thus the Beyer's Strategy was proved to be effective in developing probe thinking skills and habits of mind among primary school students, that was confirmed by the results of the "eta square" (η²) strong effect.

The researcher recommended the need to pay attention to developing probe thinking skills, and the habits of mind of students, especially in the primary stage, and to apply Beyer Strategy in teaching Home Economics at various school levels, and holding programs for training teachers on this.
