A Program Based on the Right Intelligent System of Knowledge in Science to develop the skills of scientific research and critical thinking among pupils in the preparatory stage

The research aims at developing the skills of scientific research and critical thinking among Female pupils in the preparatory stage, through the program of the Right Intelligent System of Knowledge. The two research groups consist of (64) Female pupils and divided into (32) Female pupils for the control group at Ahmed Lutfi el Sayed school, and (32) Female pupils for the experimental group at Safia Zaghloul School.  The two schools are at El-Zawia El-Hamra of Cairo Governorate. The researcher used two main research methods. The first one was descriptive analytical approach that helped  in preparing the program , the Teacher's guide, the research tools, the list of Right Intelligent System of Knowledge, the list of scientific research skills and the list of critical thinking skills, the measure of scientific research skills, and the critical thinking test. As for the second approach, it was the experimental approach with both the control and experimental groups that helped in verifying the effectiveness of the program. The program was applied with the implementation of the tools on the two research groups in a tribal application. The results revealed a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05 ≥ α) between the average grades of the Female pupils of the control and experimental groups in the post application of the tools in favor of the experimental group, and between the average grades of   the experimental group Female pupils in the pre and post applications of the tools in favor of the post application. The previously mentioned results confirmed the effectiveness of the current program on developing the scientific research and critical thinking skills of the preparatory Female pupils. One of the main recommendations of the research was enhancing teacher training programs at faculties of education through: training teachers to use the principles of learning based on the Right Intelligent System of Knowledge and its educational applications in the teaching and learning processes, and paying more attention to the implementation of curricula and developing scientific research skills Critical thinking as one of the most important skills to be addressed in the curriculum in general and in the science curriculum in particular so that the learner can contribute to the solution of the daily faced problems to cope with the current challenges.
