Abstract
The Aim of this research is to know the effect of Finks model in lateral thinking and the grades of first year students in the Department of Computer Science / morning study. To achieve the goal of research the researcher adopted the research method with two groups (experimental and regular control) with a dimension test. 1-There is no statistically significant difference in the significance level (0.05) between the mean scores of first-year students in computer department (experimental group) who have studied according to Finks model and Among the students who have learned the same material in the usual way (control group) in the test of lateral thinking. 2- There is no statistically significant difference in the significance level (0.05) between the mean scores of first-year students in computer department (experimental group) who have studied according to Finks model and Among the students who have learned the same material in the usual way (control group) in the examination grade test. the research community, was determined and was represented by the first stage students in the Department of Computer Science The research sample was chosen from (50) students chosen randomly, the sample was divided into two groups: - An experimental group studied according to Finks model. - A control group studied according to the usual or regular way The parity was conducted between the two groups in the variables procedure (former grades in mathematics, the level of intelligence, lateral thinking, and chronological age). For collecting data for the experiment an objective of (9) paragraphs lateral thinking test was built, in addition to an (8) paragraph essay type examination grade test. An appropriate statistical analyzes was conducted, psychometric characteristics of the test has been confirmed, The results indicated superiority of the experimental group students who have studied in accordance with the Fink model on the control group students who have studied in accordance with the normal way.
