The research aimed to know the effect of learning by guided discovery based on multimedia strategy in achievement of physics subject for second – grade intermediate males students and theirs creative thinking. - To verify the goal of this research , the researcher added the following zero hypotheses : 1) there is no statistically significant difference between the scores of males students of the experimental group which studied by blearning by guided discovery based on multimedia strategy and control group males students who studied in the normal method for physics subject in achievement test. 2) There is no statistically significant difference between the scores of males students of the experimental group which studied by learning by guided based on multimedia discovery strategy and control group s male students who studied by normal method in the creative thinking test. -Researcher adopted experimental design of two groups, Al-Dora and Beirut intermediate for males students belong to general directorate of Baghdad Education / Al- karkh2 for academic year (2011/2012) AD, was chosen intentionally, two section were chosen at random to be the research sample, the no. of males students of research sample about (69) from the second intermediate class of distributed between two sections, Section (B) contained (34), Section (C) contained (35), section (B) was chosen randomly to represent control group which studied by normal method (followed method), group (C) to represent experimental group which studied by learning by guided discovery based on multimedia strategy, the two groups have been equalized in the following variables (Previous information in physics test, achievement in physics subject for midyear, time age by months, intelligence, creative thinking test, are searcher built achievement test to measure the achievement of males students of two groups in physics subject after completion the experiment, consisted of (50), subjective items type multiple choice, and the number alternatives are four for each items, to verify the of its content, by submitting it to a group of specialists, and then applied to the exploration sample to ensure the clarity of its items , and was sure of its stability by adoption equation Codrrichardson 20, and the reliability coefficient (0.86), also confirmed the distinctive powers of its items, the coefficient of difficulty, and effectiveness of alternatives, and a researcher adopted Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) , to measure the creative thinking of the males consist of (3Activities), to ensure the veracity of items by submitting it to a group of specialists, was then applied to the exploration sample to ensure the clarity of its items and have been found coefficient element by the equation of alpha Cronbach to (0.8),the experimental applied in the first term of the academic year (2012- 2013)AD and continued for (11) weeks, by two classes per week for each group, and the researcher taught the two groups by her selves, the data treated statistically by adopting the (t-test) for two independent samples, and the equation Codrrichardson 20, and the equation Alpha Cronbach, the coefficient of difficulty, and distinguishing element, the results showed: Positive effect for the strategy in achievement and creative thinking, for the benefit of the experimental group, in light of the results of current research, the researcher recommended the adoption learning by guided discovery based on multimedia strategy in the teaching of physics. And included in the decision of the curricula and teaching methods in colleges impartial, researcher suggested making similar studies in several subjects, and the stages of a study to identify effect in the achievement, and the attitude towards physics subject and other variables.
