Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the effectiveness of teaching based on objective thinking skills in the academic achievement of the Arabic grammar subject among fourth-year scientific students and their attitudes towards the subject. The researcher followed the experimental method, and the sample consisted of 90 students from the fourth scientific year at Al-Jawahiri Secondary School in Al-Diwaniyah city. The experiment was conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2024-2025. The experimental group was taught Arabic grammar using objective thinking skills, while the control group was taught using traditional methods , After administering two tests (Arabic grammar achievement test) and an attitude scale, which reflects a psychological readiness (cognitive, behavioral, and emotional) that manifests as either positive or negative responses from the fourth-year scientific students towards a specific situation or topic, the extent of their thinking breadth and scientific orientations was determined based on the scores the sample students achieved in the attitude scale towards the grammar subject, which the researcher prepared for this purpose.After extracting the psychometric properties of both tests, the results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the examinations. In light of this, the researcher concluded that teaching based on objective thinking skills is effective in enhancing the academic achievement of the sample students in the grammar subject. Additionally, the use of thinking skills in teaching proved effective in shaping the students' attitudes towards the Arabic grammar subject. Based on these findings, recommendations and suggestions were provided
