Furthermore ، after testing the reliability and validity of these instruments ،have been conducted on( 112) students ،( 57) of them were in the experimental group using the thinking maps strategy and (55) students in the control group using the traditional method. Finally ،all data has been processed by using MANCOVA and MANOVA tests and ω square.
