Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the Impact of integrating thinking skills in science textbooks on achievement in science, scientific skills & decision making ability among 7th graders in Palestine. The content of two units of seventh grade science textbook was integrated with thinking skills activities based on three parts of CoRT (Cognitive Research Trust) program: Extending the field of perception, organization, and problem solving. The following research instruments were developed: a pre-knowledge test, an achievement test in sciences, scientific skills' test and decision- making ability measurement. A purposeful sample consisting of (72) female students was selected and equally distributed into two groups, one was assigned as the experimental group, and the other as the control group. The results revealed that the integration of thinking skills in science content was effective in developing 7th female students' achievement in science, scientific skills and decision- making ability. Based on these results the researcher recommended developers of science curriculum to take the study results into consideration to enrich science teaching with thinking skills.
