Abstract

The present study aimed at identifying the impact of the e-mind mapping strategy on the academic achievement of Jordanian 9th grade students in the citizenship and civic education course. It was carried out during the second semester of the academic year 2019/2018 through adopting a quasi-experimental approach. It was carried out in Princess Sukayna bent Al-Hussain School for girls in Amman, Jordan. The sample consists from (55) female students who were chosen through the purposive sampling technique. Those students were divided into control and experimental groups. Pre-test and post-tests for measuring achievement were used. Based on the process of analyzing data, the e-mind mapping strategy can effectively improve the achievement of Jordanian 9th grade students in the citizenship and civic education course. The researcher recommends providing Jordanian citizenship and civic education teachers with special training programs about the technology-based instructional strategies. Such training programs must shed a light on e-mind mapping strategy
