Abstract

The current research aims to identify the impact of the use of the educational story in the development of some thinking skills among primary school students in the northern region. The research sample consists of primary school students in the northern region of Saudi Arabia. The semi-experimental approach was used to assess the impact of story narration skill as an effective tool on experimental and control groups. A random sample of sixty students were divided into two groups; one experimental group of 30 students who were exposed to the instructional story method, and the control group  of other 30 students didn’t follow any intervention as such and followed the regular method.  

The SPSS program for the purpose of answering the research questions and verifying the hypotheses. The results showed that there were differences between the control and experiential groups in the telemetry in all fields of thinking skills (fluency, originality, flexibility, and narrative flow). The differences were in favor of the experimental group members.
