Abstract EN

The research aimed to verify the effectiveness of the training program for the development of critical thinking skills among science teachers in the intermediate Stage in Tabuk city.

The research has adopted a semi-experimental approach.

The science teachers were divided into two equal groups (exper- imental and controlled), each with 17 teachers.

Pre, POQ and follow-up measurements have been conducted using a critical thinking skills questionnaire.

The results showed that there were differences in critical thinking skills between the experimental group and the control group in favour of the experimental group.

There were also differences in the critical thinking skills of the experimental group at the post-administration and follow-up measurements (one month, two months, and three months) in favour of the follow-up measurement after three months con- firming the effectiveness of the long-term program to improve critical thinking skills.

In the light of the findings, a number of recommendations have been presented such as implementing the program on all science teachers who lack critical thinking skills
