الملخص EN

Rumors can spread so widely, escalate to a level where it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, and cause moral disorders and affect adult learners.

Therefore, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of a training program to combat rumors in developing the analytical thinking skills that adult learners need to deal with.

The study adopted the descriptive analytical and quasi-experimental methods, and its sample consisted of 47 learners.

A 24-item questionnaire covering three domains was used; as an effectiveness scale.

Findings revealed the program effectiveness.

Recommendations indicate that adult education programs should take into account the leaners’ cognitive needs, instill positive values, and encourage research orientations towards the topic to reach the correct answers, differentiate teaching methods, and provide for appropriate thinking processes.
