تمثلت مشكلة البحث في وجود بعض اوجه القصور في الاساليب والطرائق المتبعة في تدريس مادة الكيمياء, مما ادى الى عدم تحقيق الاهداف التربوية لمادة الكيمياء والتي من اهمها تنشئة الفرد القادر على التفكير والابداع في حلوله للمشكلات, كما ادى هذا القصور الى انخفاض مس | The research problem lies in having some deficiencies in the methods used for teaching chemistry , which lead to not achieving educational objectives such as educating individuals who are capable of thinking and creativity in solving their problems. Also these deficiencies lead to decrease the level of students' achievement in chemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to find out new teaching methods that taking these two problems into consideration. This study aims to find an effective strategy (PLAN) to Achievement and Improvement of creative thinking of second intermediate students in chemistry. In order to verify the two aims of the study , the following zero hypotheses have been Improvement : 1. There is no statistically significant difference at (0.05) between the average of experimental group students' marks, who are studying chemistry according to (PLAN) Strategy , and the average of control group students' marks , who are studying chemistry according to traditional method in achievement test. 2. There is no statistically significant difference at (0.05) between the average of experimental group students' marks, who are studying chemistry according to (PLAN) Strategy and the average of control group students' marks , who are studying chemistry according to traditional method in testing the creative thinking scale.In order to verify these two hypotheses , the researcher conducted an experiment, that lasted for two months and half, where he depended on the following procedures : experimental design (with partial control) was selected for two equivalent groups (experimental group and control group with (post - test). Research sample (Ibn Idrees Intermediate School, in Babil province center ) was randomly selected (by lot) from the research community representing intermediate and secondary schools in Babil. the total number of 2nd intermediate students in Babil province center for the academic year (2014 - 2015) was (6153 students) and the total number of students in the school was (150 students) , distributed in four classes (A, B, C and D). class (A) was randomly chosen to represent the experimental group and in the same way , class (B) was chosen to represent the control group. After that , the researcher made an equivalence between the two groups, statistically, in the following variables : (age in months, parents academic achievement, previous achievement in chemistry , test of previous information , Raven IQ - test and post - test of creative thinking). Beside adjusting other variables for the research integrity, the researcher has taught the two groups by himself. The last three chapters (5th,6th and 7th)of chemistry book for 2nd intermediate class (5th edition , 1435 H.j - 2014 ) were selected as the scientific subject. The researcher has developed (170) behavioral objectives. Furthermore, he prepared (20) teaching plans for the two groups , and appropriate amendments were made on these plans after reviewing by experts. In relating to research tools, the researcher has developed the two research tools representing by an achievement test in chemistry , this test consisted of (50) objective items (Multi - choices questions), its face validity , content validity, difficulty coefficient, discriminate coefficient and effectiveness of false alternatives were calculated. Furthermore, test reliability was extracted by split half method , it was amounting at (0,902) after correction by Spearman Brown formula. The researcher developed the second tool which was the creative thinking test. He calculated its face validity and construct validity, while test reliability was extracted by two methods : split half method , where it was amounting at (0,825) after the correction by Spearman Brown formula, and re - test method, where it was amounting at (0,888) after the correction by Spearman Brown formula. The experiment was applied in the second semester for the academic year (2014 - 2015), where the actual study started on (Saturday) Feb 15th,2015 and it ended on (Monday) April 20th,2015. It lasted for (10 weeks) (two lessons per - week for each group). After applying the two research tools and analyzing the results by Microsoft Excel , statistically, these results showed the superiority of experimental group students who were studying according to PLAN strategy upon the control group students who were studying according to traditional method in achievement test and test of creative thinking development. Depending on the results, the researcher has recommended that it is possible to use (PLAN) strategy in teaching chemistry for 2nd Intermediate class for its positive impacts in increasing the achievement level and creative thinking development for students. Moreover, he suggested conducting a similar study to explain the effectiveness of (PLAN) strategy in other variables and for other classes and other subjects.
