برنامج إثرائي في ضوء المدخل الاستقصائي وفاعليته في إكساب مفاهيم تقنية النّانو وتنمية نزعات التفكير الابتكاري لدى الطالبات الموهوبات في المرحلة الثّانوية
This study aimed to build an explorative approach-based enrichment program to gain Nano-tech concepts by gifted female students at high school; develop their tendencies of creative thinking; and identify the effectiveness of the enrichment program in this respect. To achieve the study's goals, the researcher adopted the experimental method (quasi experimental design). The study's sample consisted of one group of 42 gifted female students at high school in the governorate of Al-Majmaʼah. The researcher prepared the study's content and tools which were: an explorative approach-based enrichment program to gain Nano-tech concepts and develop creative thinking tendencies, a test of the concepts of Nano-tech embedded in the enrichment program, and measurement of creative thinking tendencies. Data results were analyzed using t-test for the two related samples, and Eta-square test. The study reached a number of results, the most important of which were the following: 1) There was a difference at a statistical significance at (a < 0.01) between the average scores of the students in the pre-and-post tests of Nano-tech concepts in favor of the students by the posttest. 2) There was a difference at a statistical significance at (a < 0.01) between the average scores of the students in the pre-and-post tests for measuring the tendencies of creative thinking in favor of the students by the post-test of the measurement. Based on these findings, the researcher presented a number of recommendations, among which was the following: To benefit from the proposed program and include it in the basic enrichment programs for gifted students.
