The study aimed to investigate the effect of a program based on smart learning on developing the achievement and creative thinking among students. To achieve this, tools were prepared and conducting validity and reliability. The sample consisted of 43 ninth grade students who were purposefully selected and distributed over an experimental group consisting of 21 students who studied the material through a program based on smart learning and a control group consisting of 22 students who studied the same content in the normal way. The findings of the study revealed that the arithmetic means of the performance of the experimental group students were higher than the arithmetic means of the performance of the control group on both the achievement and creative thinking tests. Statistically significant differences between the experimental and control group in achievement test were found between the groups and in favor of the experimental group. MANOVA results revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in creative thinking test and in favor of the experimental group. The study recommended adopting smart learning programs and perform more studies about effect of interactive platforms. (Published abstract)
