Abstract

The study aimed at developing an enrichment program based on Future Problem Solving Program (FPSP), and revealing its impact on the development of creative thinking skills among 1 st secondary grade gifted students in Al-Baha region. The experimental approach was used and a sample consisted of (24) students was selected. They were divided randomly into two groups: the experimental sample (14 students) and the control sample (10 students). The researchers developed the current study program based on the future problem-solving program (FPSP) and a creative thinking skills scale. The tool validity and reliability were extracted and checked. Results showed significant differences in the performance between the two groups (experimental and control) on the post-test in favor of the experimental group. There were also significant differences between the performance of the experimental group in the pre- posttest, in favor of the post-test on the scale and its different dimensions. This indicates the effectiveness of the enrichment program presented in the current study and its advantage in developing the creative thinking skills for gifted students in regular classroom. In addition, there was a significant difference between the performance of the experimental group in the post- follow-up test, in favor of the follow-up performance on the scale as a whole and its different dimensions. Keywords: effective studies, future Problem-Solving Program (FPSP), special gifted class, creative thinking. DOI: 10.7176/JEP/11-9-16 Publication date: March 31 st 2020

Highlights

  • 1.1 Enrichment Programs The gifted students are the future leaders and the main pillar upon which the humanity future depends on to accomplish the scientific achievements as well as the advanced technology

  • In order to answer the first question “are there statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) between the mean scores of the control and experimental groups in the post-application creative thinking skills scales attributed to the enrichment program?”, the means and standard deviations were calculated for the two groups

  • Even though not all of them used the program of future dialogues, they were similar with the current study in using programs for developing creative thinking and gave an evidence of development among the study sample
