The study, presented by the student (Rasha Muhammad Shaker) from the Department of Biology, dealt with the effect of using the Fielder and Silverman model in achieving biology and developing critical thinking among second-grade female students. The researcher adopted the experimental design with partial control of the two equivalent groups, which includes two groups: the experimental and the control. According to this design, the researcher intentionally selected the research sample from the students of (Al-Tariq Al-Mudi’ Intermediate School, second intermediate grade in the city of Mosul).

The random selection fell on Section (1), consisting of (36) female students, to represent the experimental group, and Section (B), consisting of (27) female students, to represent the control group. The researcher began applying the experiment in the first semester of the academic year (2024-2025). The researcher taught the two research groups on (9/25/2024) and continued until (2024/12/22).
The discussion committee was chaired by Professor Dr. Mahmoud Abdul-Salam Muhammad, and Assistant Professor Dr. Naser bin Saleem bin Naser from the Sultanate of Oman (the sister country of Oman). This is a step towards achieving cooperation between Arab universities in the academic field and scientific research and Assistant Professor Dr. Ziyad Badr Hamad as members, and Assistant Professor Dr. Maarib Muhammad Ahmad and Assistant Professor Dr. Amal Abdul-Ilah Younis as both members and supervisors.
