Abstract EN

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of Improving the Discovery Area on the Development Some Basic Science Operations for Preschool Children in Makkah.

To achieve this, the researcher used the quasi-experimental approach for two groups.

The study used an intended sample of (32) children, aged (5-6) years in two pre-school classes, in a governmental kindergarten in Makkah.

The study tools were prepared and applied, namely: a cognitive test for basic science Operations as a pre-posttest, and an observation checklist of basic science Operations practices among children.

Data were analyzed statistically.

The study concluded that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the children of the experimental group in the repeated measurements of the observation checklist of basic science Operations practices in favor of the last two measurements.

There are statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the children of the experimental and control groups in the cognitive posttest of basic science Operations in favor of the experimental group.

There are differences between the mean ranks of the experimental group in the pre-posttest in favor of the posttest.

The study presented some recommendations, including: providing the necessary support to develop the discovery area in government kindergartens; and enriching it with scientific tools and activities that stimulate children's curiosity and encourage them to explore and increase their desire to learn
