The Effect of the Flipped Classroom Strategy on Developing Creative Thinking Skills in the Computer Subject for Middle School Students

This research aimed to identify the effect of designing a flipped classroom strategy in developing creative thinking skills (fluency-flexibility-originality) for students of the second intermediate grade in the computer subject in Abha city. The research used the experimental method. A flipped classroom strategy was designed on the "Madrasati Platform" to achieve this goal. The research sample included (50) students from the second intermediate grade at the Model Intermediate School in Abha. The sample was randomly selected and divided into two groups: the first was an experimental group of (25) students who were taught using the flipped classroom strategy on the "Madrasati Platform", and the other one was a control group of (25) students who were taught by traditional way. The results of the search revealed a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the mean scores of the students of the experimental and control groups in the test of creative thinking skills in general (fluency- flexibility - originality) in favor of the experimental group. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the mean scores of the students of the experimental and control groups in testing each of the creative thinking skills separately (fluency - flexibility - originality) in favor of the experimental group.
