Abstract
This research aims to identify: “The Effect of Merging Strategic Thinking Patterns in Biology on Decision-Making Among Fifth-Grade Scientific Students” , and in order to verify this research the following hypothesis was formulated : There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05 ) Between the average grades of the (experimental group) students who studied according to combining the dimensions of the strategic thinking patterns in the biology curriculum and the average. grades of the (control group) students who studied in the usual way according to the decision-making scale. In order to verify this hypothesis, The researcher chooses a suitable experimental design to present the description of the methodology and procedures that present in using two groups: the experimental and the control groups with the post-test of the decision-making scale, representing the research community from all the fifth-grade students in the secondary school ( Fatima Bint Al-Hussein) / for girls, who are (77) students for the academic year 2019-2020. As a research sample, the two classes were chosen randomly, and they were equated with the variables of chronological age, previous achievement in biology, intelligence, and decision-making scale, The decision-making scale was constructed for the fifth level scientific-grade that consisting of (16) items . It was completed by the researcher and applied to the sample after making sure of its validity and reliablity. After the end of the experiment, the results were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), and the results showed the superiority of the experimental group over the control group students.
Key words🙁 strategic thinking, biology curriculum, decision making, fifth grade science).
