Abstract EN

The present study aimed to Investigate the effectiveness of blended learning by using social media comparison with traditional method of teaching in developing critical thinking skills and the direction towards learning process among a sample of chemistry program’s students at the Faculty of Science, PSAU.

The researcher used the experimental curriculum (Quasi- Experimental Design) in comparing the two teaching methods for investigating the relationship between variables using pretest- posttest control group design.

The study sample consisted of 59 randomly selected students.

The experimental group (21) students studied by using blended learning (filliped classroom) , while the control group (38) students studied by the traditional method.

The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of α ≤0.05 between the average scores of the students of the control and experimental groups in the post application of the California test of critical thinking skills (2000) at the level of (analysis, evaluation, inference, deductive , inductive, and all); as well as there are significant differences beyond 0.05 level of confidence between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the attitude scale towards the learning process in favor of the experimental group
