The project-based learning strategy activities were applied to the children of the experimental group over a period of two months with a rate of (8) projects, each project taking three days. per week, with an activity duration of 45 minutes per day. The results showed a significant growth in the analytical thinking skills of the children of the experimental group after applying the project-based learning strategy. The results of the research found that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the children of the experimental group in the two pre-measurements. The post-test on the analytical thinking skills of the kindergarten child is in favor of the post-measurement, in addition to the presence of statistically significant differences between the average scores of the children of the experimental and control groups in the post-measurement of the test of the analytical thinking skills of the kindergarten child in favor of the children of the experimental group, Therefore the research recommends the necessity of organizing training courses for teachers in kindergartens that focus on to use a project-based learning strategy. | ||||
