The research community included two schools in Nineveh governorate (semester 2012/2013) .

The research sample included (62) female students .

The first school ( group A) was taught the modeling strategy and the second school (group B) was taught the common method .

Both groups were intentionally selected .

The sample was divided intentionally into two research groups : the first experimental group included (32) female students taught according to the modeling strategy , and the second group ( the control group) included (30) female students was taught according to the common method .

The equivalence is performed between the two groups in ( age variable (in months) , intelligence test, the degree of half-year examination of Islamic education (semester 2012/2013) , the general average of all subjects in half-year examination (semester 2012/2013) , the academic level of the parents and pre and post-tests ( for the test of contemplative thinking ) .
