The Impact of Employing the ‘Six Thinking Hats’ Strategy on the Development of Creative Thinking Skills and Trends Towards Mathematics Among Sixth Grade High-Achieving Students in Mathematics

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of employing the ‘Six Thinking Hats’ Strategy on the development of creative thinking skills and trends towards mathematics among sixth grade students, who are high-achievers in mathematics. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the quasi-experimental design, with a study sample consisting of an experimental group made up of 33 students, who were required to sit for a pre-and-a post test. The study tools consisted of a test for creative thinking skills and a scale of trends towards mathematics. The study results showed that there were significant statistical differences between the pre and post scales in creative thinking skills and the scale of trends towards mathematics; this difference is in favor of the post application of the scale.
