Abstract

This research aimed to develop information generation and assessment skills in science and the habits of  mind for second Preparatory grade Students by using" learning-for-use model". The unit " Periodicity of elements and their properties "  in science textbook" 1st term "( 2014-2015) for  second preparatory students was  selected , then "the learning materials" learner and teacher guides were prepared  according to" learning-for-use model" .To achieve the aim of the research instruments of  research were built " information generation and assessment skills in science test and the  habits of mind measure" . Participants were (116) students in Giza governorate  . Results of research showed " large effect size and effectiveness of " learning-for-use model" in developing information generation and assessment skills in science and the habits of  mind for second Preparatory grade Students.
