The effect of using the first part (expanding perception) of the Cort program for teaching thinking in developing creative thinking for fourth grade students in general sciences

One of the most prominent features of the century we live in is the scientific and technological progress in various scientific fields, and its impact in particular on the field of education. Developing thinking, and among these, the global Cort program, which emphasizes the development of comprehensive (peripheral) thinking, which is practical, generative thinking that seeks to innovate things and find solutions to different situations. The current research aims to identify the impact of the first part (expanding perception) of the CoRT program in developing creative thinking for fourth grade students in general sciences, by verifying the following two zero hypotheses: - 1- There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05). Between the average scores of students who study according to the first part (expansion of perception) of the CoRT program and the average scores of students who study according to the usual method in the creative thinking test score with its dimensions (fluency, flexibility, originality).
