Abstract

Abstract
This research aims to identify the effectiveness of a suggested entrepreneurship education-based curriculum in teaching psychology to develop some future thinking skills and to improve the product quality in technical secondary school students with hearing impairment. A set of research tools was prepared. These tools were: applying a questionnaire about the most important dimensions of entrepreneurship education, then choosing the suitable ones from them; and applying aquestionnaire about the most important future thinking skills that can be developed in technical secondary school students with hearing impairment, then choosing the suitable ones from these skills. The research sample consisted of (16) technical secondary school students with hearing impairment. The students were divided into two groups: one is experimental, consisting of (8) students; and the other is control, consisting of (8) students. Then came the preparation of the proposed curriculum in terms of its necessity, foundations and the proposed conception; and the preparation of the future thinking skills test and the product quality assessment card, which were scientifically controlled. The research tool of the future thinking skills was applied to the experimental and control groups prior to the treatment. After that, the experimental group was treated. Then, the product quality assessment card and the future thinking skills test were applied post the treatment. The study findings showed statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental and control groups of the technical secondary school students with hearing impairment in both of the research tools in favor of the experimental group. This indicates that the curriculum has been effective in developing some future thinking skills and improving the product quality in technical secondary school students with hearing impairment.
