The study tools were an academic achievement test and a systemic thinking skills test. The result indicated that there were statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) level between the mean rank scores of the two groups in the past measure of the cognitive achievement test and systematic thinking test in favor of the experimental group.
