The study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using interactive atlas in developing the behavior of the nine grade students towards population issues. The researcher used the quasi-experimental research. The study sample consisted of 133 female students, divided into two groups: the experimental group, which consisted of 65 students, and the control group of 68 students. The experimental group was taught by interactive atlas while the control group was taught by the traditional method. The data was collected by the behavior scale. The validity of these instruments was checked by a panel of judges and reliability was examined by using Alpha-Cronbach which was.782for the scale. The results showed significant differences at the level α=0.05between the means of the groups in favor to the experimental group in the achievement test and behavior towards population issues and towards using interactive atlas in teaching. In light of these results, the study recommended using interactive atlas in the filed due to its importance in providing supportive and encouraging learning environment. (Published abstract)
