The research aims to identify the impact of an educational program based on the strategy of generating ideas (Scamper) in developing critical thinking skills among gifted students. The experimental approach and the two equal groups with pretest and posttest design have been adopted which requires the two groups, one experimental group and the other control group, and two zero hypotheses were formulated to achieve the research objectives. The research community consisted of students of the seventh grade of day schools in the center of Erbil Governorate for the academic year (2021-2022), where (Shinirwe Mixed Basic Education School for the Gifted Students) was chosen, and two classes were chosen randomly from four classes in the seventh grade to be: (a) The Experimental Group and (b) The Control Group, where it included (40) students, of whom (20) twenty students were distributed to the experimental group and (20) other twenty students were distributed to the control group. The experimental group studied according to the educational program based on the strategy of generating ideas (Scamper), while the control group studied according to the traditional (usual) method. To achieve the objectives of the research, the critical thinking standard of (Watson and Kleiser) was used where the number of its paragraphs in its final form has reached to (147) paragraphs distributed on critical thinking skills (hypothesis skill, interpretation skill, discussion skill, reasoning skill, conclusion skill). This is after verifying the validity and reliability using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, where the reliability coefficient was (0.87) and the reliability coefficient by the two-half method, and after its modification, the value of the stability coefficient was (0.85). Among the most important results reached are the following: There is a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (a = 0.05) between the average grades of the experimental group and the control group in developing critical thinking skills, in favor of the experimental group. In light of the results reached, the two researchers recommended the necessity of adopting an educational program based on the (Scamper) strategy in teaching history, and a number of proposals were proposed.

The research aims at identifying (The effectiveness of an educational program based on theory of cognitive load in the development of reasoning among students in the eighth grade in the social material). Through the application of the reasoning Test, which was prepared by (Al-Jabari, 1994) for Basic school students and applied to the Iraqi environment, the standard measure is (50) paragraphs for measuring reasoning, and the researcher has followed descriptive and experimental approaches. The study participants were (74) male and female students randomly divided into two groups: Experimental Group (37), male and female students and a group of control (37), male and female students. The researcher taught the experimental group using the educational program based on the cognitive load theory, while the control group was taught by traditional education. The results of the study showed that the students of the experimental group who studied according to the educational program are superior to the students of the control group who studied in the traditional method of reasoning. The results also showed that there are no differences between the average grades of the test for males and females in the test of reasoning. The students of the experimental group who studied social studies according to the educational program based on the cognitive load theory.
