The study aimed at uncovering the effect of the use of brainstorming strategy in the
improving the decision-making skills of the fourth grade students through their answers to
a test that measures the decision-making skill in the social studies. It
also aims to know the
differences between the middle grades, the students who learned according to the
brainstorming strategy and the pupils Who were taught according to the usual method.
Accordingly, a semi-experimental approach was adopted.
Abrainstorming strategy was designed for a unit of the fourth grade social studies
book, and a test was designed to measure decision- (10) phrases, each of which included a
problem to be decided on, and the educational program was applied to a sample of the
fourth grade students in the first class of basic education (103) students and students in the
school of martyr Yasser Kasu in the city of Jblah, The study shows that there is a
statistically significant difference between the average scores of the students of the two
groups (experimental and control) in the post-implementation and deferred to test the skill
of decision making, and this difference is in the interest of the students of the experimental
group.
The study suggested that the brainstorming strategy should be applied in the teaching of
the new curriculum, and studies should be carried out to reveal the impact of this strategy
on the development of different thinking skills and in most subjects.
This paper seeks to illustrate teaching mechanisms in order
to activate the practical component in theoretical courses,
and selects the departments of English language and
Literature as an instance for this study
