Abstract

The aim of the research is developing the motivation to learn science among first-grade middle school pupils by building an enrichment program using scientific stations, and to achieve this goal experimental treatment materials were prepared, which included (the enrichment program using the scientific stations and the teacher's guide) and the measurement tool, (the motivation measure to learn science). The research followed the experimental approach with a quasi-experimental design with one group, the results showed that there is a statistically significant difference at the level (0.01) between the mean scores of the students in the research group in the pre and post applications of the motivation scale in favor of the higher average, which is the post application, and the research recommended the necessity of applying the enrichment program using scientific stations in all academic courses. And holding training courses for science teachers to develop their abilities to use enrichment programs.
