Abstract | ||
The aim of the current research was to develop historical critical thinking skills among first-year secondary school students through the use of an e-learning environment. To achieve this goal, the research tools were prepared, including a test for historical critical thinking skills, the design of a selected unit in an e-learning environment, and a teacher's guide for teaching the unit. These tools were applied to a sample of 60 first-year secondary school students, who were divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group, at Abdullah Yassin Hamad Secondary School, affiliated with the Talla Education Directorate. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-test for historical critical thinking skills, in favor of the experimental group. Based on these results, a set of recommendations and suggestions was presented, the most important of which was to emphasize the importance of using e-learning environments in teaching history and working on developing historical critical thinking skills among students at different educational stages by utilizing e-learning environments that support this development | ||
