Abstract

The problem: What is The Effectiveness of Using Wheatley Model in Geography Teaching to Develop Future Thinking Skills for High School Students?
And from this main question derived the following sub-questions:
What are the future thinking skills that need to be developed among the twelfth grade literary students through the subject of geography?
Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post application of testing future thinking skills for the benefit of the experimental group pupils?
Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the students of the experimental and control groups in the two applications (pre - post) to test future thinking skills in favor of the post application?
procedures:
*Putting a list of future thinking skills and presenting it to a group of arbitrators.
*Preparing a test of future thinking skills and ensuring its validity and reliability.
*Conceptualizing teaching using the Whitley model, in the form of a teacher's guide and student worksheets, and presenting them to the arbitrators and modifying them in light of their opinions.
Findings:
1. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post application of testing future thinking skills for the benefit of the experimental group.
2. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group students in the two applications (pre-post) to test future thinking skills in favor of the post application
