Abstract

The study aimed to uncover the effect of using thinking maps strategy in the improvement of science processes in science course among Female Students of the Ninth Grade. To achieve the study objectives, the researchers used both of the experimental and descriptive curriculum. They also built a scale of science processes. The study has been applied on a sample of 40 female students from the ninth grade in Khanyounis school for females which are divided into (EG=20) and (CG=20) students. After the implementation the study discovered the existence effective impact to use thinking maps strategy to improve science processes of the female students of the experimental group.
