The impact of using Kegan structures for cooperative learning on the Achievement and Problem Solving in a Sample of Students Biology (3) in Secondary Education System in Holy Makah city , and to solve the research problem and to achieve its objectives was to use the approach quasi-experimental, and applied research on a sample size (45) students from students of third grade secondary school in the city of Holy Makah, in high school (45), has been selected one of classes as a control group and includes (22) student, and the other to represent the experimental group and includes (23) student, has been applied research in the second semester of the academic year 1436 AH-1437 H, and was preparing a Teacher's Guide, including the activities of Kagan Structures and working papers and plan the preparation of lessons according to the Kagan Structures, was applied achievement test, and problem solving scale. The experiment started by the pre-test and the problem solving scale and ended by the post-test and the problem solving scale. To test the validity of hypotheses of the research data were treated statistically using the t-test, and effect size, was reached following results: 1) There are statically significant differences in the student’s achievement at the level (0.05) between the experimental group and the controlled group in the favor of the experimental group. 2) There are statically significant differences in the student’s abilities in problem solving at the level (0.05) between the experimental group and the controlled group in the favor of the experimental group. The study came out with a number of suggestions and recommendations. (Published abstract)
