Abstract

This research aimed to treating the lowest of the conceptual understanding and the Self-Organized Learning Skills for the first Grade Intermediate Hearing Impaired Students', To achieve this goal, it's used the semi experimental approach, By employing Mind Maps Strategy in science teaching, and prepared two tools the first is conceptual understanding test in the "Beyond Earth" unit, and a measurement of Self-Organized Learning Skills, the sample where consisted of (60) students of the first Grade Intermediate Hearing Impaired Students' in Abha, it was randomly divided into two equivalent groups: An experimental group consisting of (30) students, studied the unit of "Beyond Earth", using the learning Mind Maps Strategy, and the other control group consisting of (30) students, studied the same unit using the traditional method, The research experiment was carried out over (16) periods, pre and post-test was applied, conceptual understanding test, and the measurement of Self-Organized Learning Skills for both groups.
The research result showed statistically significant differences at level (0.05) between the means of experimental and control groups in conceptual understanding test in Science, and the measurement of Self-Organized Learning Skills in favor of the experimental group, some recommendations and suggestions for further research were implemented.
