Abstract EN

The aim of the current research is to investigate the effectiveness of using the mental visualization strategy in developing inductive thinking skills, enhancing motivation for learning, and improving the level of immediate and delayed academic achievement among sixth-grade female students in the subject of home economics.

to achieve the goals of this study, standards of validity and reliability were prepared, which consisted of a measure of motivation to learn, and two tests, one to measure inductive thinking skills, and the other to measure immediate and delayed academic achievement after three weeks of post-application, to verify the persistence of the effect of learning among female students.

the research sample consisted of (45) female students, who were divided into two groups, one of which was an experimental group of (25) female students, and the other a control group of (20) female students.

both the analytical descriptive approach and the semi-experimental approach were used.

the results showed that the students of the experimental group who studied using the mental visualization strategy in the post-measurement were superior in each of the skills of inductive thinking, motivation to learn, and the level of immediate and delayed academic achievement, over their peers of the students of the control group who studied in the usual way.

considering these results, it was recommended to use the mental visualization strategy and include it in the methods of teaching home economics courses and curricula, due its effectiveness in enhancing students thinking skills and in improving important aspects of learning.

in addition, it was also recommended to conduct more research related to the development of inductive thinking skills among primary school students, due to the special importance of this stage in shaping and building the mental and intellectual abilities of students.
