Abstract: يهدف البحث الحالي الى تعرف (فاعلية استراتيجية العنقود في تنمية التفكير التاملي لدى طالبات الصف الرابع الادبي في مادة التاريخ) من اجل تحقيق هدف البحث صاغت الباحثة الفرضيات الصفرية الاتية : 1 - لا يوجد فرق ذو دلالة احصائية عند مستوى دلالة (0،05) بين متوسط در | The current study aims at finding out the effectiveness of cluster strategy in developing reflective thinking among students at literary fourth grade in history. So for the purpose of achieving this aim , the researcher formulates the following null hypotheses : 1 - There are no statistically significant differences at level (0.5) between the mean scores of the experimental group which is taught history by cluster strategy and the mean scores of the control group which is taught history by using the traditional way in reflective thinking pre - test and post - test.2 - There are no statistically significant differences at level (0.5) between the mean scores of pretest and posttest to female - students of experimental group who taught history by using the cluster strategy.3 - There are no statistically significant differences at level (0.5) between the mean scores of pretest and posttest to female - students of control group who taught history by using the traditional way of teaching.To achieve the aims of study and verifying its hypotheses, the researcher selected an quasi experimental design. Randomly sample is chosen from the students of fourth stage at Babylon preparatory school. The sample consisted 66 student in the amount of 33 students in each group. Section A is randomly chosen to represent the experimental group which is taught by using cluster strategy , while section B represented control group which is taught by using the traditional way of teaching. An equivalence has been done between the two groups in the number of variables including (Chronological age ( monthly counting ) , academic level of the father, academic level of the mother, Intelligence quotient, pre - test of reflective thinking).History syllabus is stated , representing by the first seven chapters of history textbook (the Arabic and Islamic civilization) which is admitted by Ministry of Iraqi Education for the academic year (2013 - 2014) for students at literary fourth stage. The researchers wrote 156 behavioral goal for the first seven chapters and prepared lesson plans for teaching the two groups of the study and displayed models on a group of specialists to ensure its validity.The researcher constructed reflective thinking which consisted of five skills, viz ; ( meditation, observation, identifying logical fallacies, giving convincing explanations, reaching to conclusions, developing proposed solutions), the number of items is 30 items in amount of 6 items for each skill. The test validity, reliability, coefficient of difficulty and power discrimination have been achieved after applying the test on pilot study which is 100 students of literary fourth grade at Tadmur High school for female. The researcher started the experiment at the beginning of semester one on Tuesday 16/10/2013. At the end of the experiment , reflective thinking pre - test is applied on two groups Tuesday 1/ 9/ 2014, then students' answers are corrected and statistically processed by using T - Test for two independent samples and T - Test for two related (Dependent) samples. The researcher resulted the following; 1 - here are statistically significant differences at level (0.5) between the mean scores of the experimental group which is taught history by cluster strategy and the mean scores of the control group which is taught history by using the traditional way in reflective thinking in favor of experimental group.2 - There are statistically significant differences at level (0.5) between the mean scores of pretest and posttest to female - students of experimental group who taught history by using the cluster strategy in reflective thinking pre - test and post - test in favor of posttest.3 - There are no statistically significant differences at level (0.5) between the mean scores of pretest and posttest to female - students of control group in favor of posttest. In the light of the current results, the researcher concluded the effectiveness of cluster strategy in acquiring reflective thinking skills compared with the traditional way. Accordingly, the researcher recommended the need to use the cluster strategy that proved its effectiveness in the teaching of history and do not stick with the traditional way. Complementing the aspects of current study, the researcher suggested a similar study with other dependent variables such as achievement and the development of creative thinking and systemic.
