Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the use of the strategy of
imaginative thinking in the development of creativity among primary school
students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The semi-experimental approach was
used in the design of the one independent group. The study sample consisted
of 30 students in the sixth grade of the First primary school in Al-Hawiya. The
researcher prepared learning situations in support of the curriculum that address
some cultural issues. The tool used for collecting the data was the Torrance
Formal Test for Creative Thinking. After completing the study, the statistical
analyses were carried out. The results of the study revealed that there were
differences between the mean scores of the pro and post measurements of the
experimental group on creative thinking skills (fluency, flexibility, originality
and details( and the total score in the direction of dimensional measurement,
and one of the most prominent recommendations is to allow students to
express their imagination as it is important to increase their learning and to
detect the creative students.
