Abstract EN

This study aims to identify the most common styles of thinking and learning among students of Al-Quds Open University (Tulkarem branch) in the light of the variables of gender, specialization, and level of academic achievement.

For this purpose, the researcher has developed a scale to measure styles of thinking methods that consist of (45) items distributed to (5) domains, each of which represents a specific style of thinking and learning: Synthetic (7 items), ideal (12 items), practical (8items), analytical (10 items), and realistic (8 items).

The sample consists of (222) male and female students from Al- Quds Open University.

After analyzing the data using the necessary statistical tools, namely a t-test and variance analysis (ANOVA) test, the study results showed that the most common style of thinking and learning among students was the synthetic style (38.

8% ), while the least common is the realistic style (12.

6%).

On the other hand, the results showed statistically significant differences in the level of thinking and learning styles due to the sex variable.

The differences were in favor of females with regard to the synthetic style, and in favor of male with regard to the practical style, analytical style and realistic style.

However, there were no statistically significant differences with regard to the ideal style and the overall total.

The results also showed no statistical differences in the level of thinking and learning styles due to the specialization, academic achievement, and study level variables
