الملخص EN

This Study aimed at investigating the effect of a problembased learning strategy using hypermedia environment on the achievement of the 9th grade female students, the development of their creative thinking skills and their attitudes toward science in the subject of Earth Science and Environment compared to the traditional method.

This study tried to answer the following three questions: l- What was the eflect of teaching earth science and environment through the "problem-based learning strategy" using hypermedia environment on the achievement of the 9th grade female students compared with the traditional method? 2- What was the effect of teaching earth science and environment through the "problem-based learning strategy" using hypermedia environment on developing the creative thinking skills of the 9th grade female students compared with the traditional method? 3- What was the effect of teaching earth science and environment through the "problem-based learning strategy" using hypermedia environment on the attitudes of the 9th grade female students towards science compared with the traditional method? The sample of the study consisted of (45) female students chosen purposefully from the 9th grader from the "First Female Secondary University Schools" from Amman Private Educational Directorate.

This sample was assigned randomly into two groups: The experimental group, which consisted of (22) female students, was taught by using the hypermedia environment of the problem-based leaming strategy The control group, which consisted of (23) female students, was taught through the traditional method.

To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher prepared a creative thinking written test, (consisting six activities), and a scale of attifudes toward science (consisting 30 items), each item consisted of five choices.

In addition, an existing achievement test (consisting 25 items of four multiple choices) was conducted as well as an instructional guide for teaching the Earth Science and Environment unit was used.

To answer the questions of this study, the means, standard deviation, and the (one-way ANCOVA) were used.

The results of this study revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group compared to the traditional group.

The differences at (o : 0.05) were on the achievement, the creative thinking skills, and the attitudes toward science .

According to the results, this study recommended the use of the problem-based leaming strategy using the hypermedia environment in teaching science.

It emphasized the importance of training science teachers using this strategy.

In addition, the study suggested conducting further studies on other classes and subjects
