The current study also aims at developing some of students’ habits of the mind represented in persistence, independence and flexibility in addition to examining the nature of the correlation between students’ scores in the achievement test and the measures of habits of mind. The current study used an experimental design based on pre and post testing of the control and experimental groups to measure the effectiveness of Learning Dimensions Model in developing students’ achievement level and some of students’ habits of the mind. The research results proved that the Learning Dimensions Model was effective in developing students’ achievement and some of their habits of minds. In addition, there is a positive statistically significant correlation between experimental group students’ scores in the post administration of the test and their measures of persistence and independence; whereas it was negative in developing students’ flexibility.
