The Effectiveness of A proposed Model Based on Integrating the Teaching Stations and Computer Simulation Strategies in Teaching the Home Decoration unit in Developing Future Thinking Skills and the Level of Academic Ambition of High School Students

Abstract

The The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of merging the strategies of educational stations and computer simulation in teaching the home decoration unit in developing future thinking skills and the level of academic ambition among students of secondary stage in Bisha Governorate. To achieve this goal, the home decoration unit was taught from the family education course for high school students, the curriculum system using the strategies of educational stations and computer simulation, then applied the test of future thinking skills (prediction - imagination - planning - solving future problems), and the scale of academic ambition in the axes (the ability to Setting future goals - looking to the future - preparing for change and accepting the new) on two control and experimental groups, and the results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) on the test of future thinking skills in favor of the experimental group due to the method of teaching, as well as the presence of statistically significant differences when Level (0.05) on the scale of the level of academic ambition in favor of the experimental group attributed to the method of teaching. In light of these results, the researcher recommended the necessity of employing the strategies of educational stations and computer simulations in teaching in general and in teaching family education (home economics) in particular.
