Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of teaching a unit of grammar using Osborne’s model of creative problem-solving, to help secondary school students in the United Arab Emirates develop grammatical concepts. The study sample consisted of 62 tenth-grade students from the Elite School in Abu Dhabi, with 32 students in the experimental group and 30 students in the control group. The participants were purposefully selected during the academic year 2023/2022. The results indicated statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group taught according to Osborne’s model of creative problem-solving in developing grammatical concepts. The study provides several recommendations, including retesting Osborne’s model for developing grammatical concepts on both male and female students and across different grade levels. We also suggest that teachers consider using Osborne’s model during their teaching or incorporating some stages of the model into Arabic language curricula, particularly in general education stages. Also, to implement the Osborne model to develop thinking skills at different levels, specifically critical thinking skills, creative thinking, and problem-solving.
