Abstract
The study aims to identify the success of employing the cooperative learning strategy, with the aim of developing creative reading and critical analysis skills among Arabic language literature students. It is assumed that students will learn two zeros: 1-There are statistically significant differences at the significance level of (0.05) between the average of the experimental group taught using cooperative learning accuracy, traditional reading skills, and critical analysis, and the average of the categorical group who achieved recognition. 2-There is a statistically significant difference at the significance level of (0.05) between the averages of two students from the experimental group taught using the cooperative learning strategy in critical reading and critical analysis skills, and three students from the group taught traditionally in Arabic. The study included fifth-grade literary students at Sada Al-Ibdaa School, which represents the experimental group for the preparatory trip, and Abdullah bin Al-Zubair School, which represents the control group in the classical Salah Al-Din Governorate for the academic year 2024-2025. Two classes were selected from the strategic schools: the first represented the experimental group, which used smart cooperative learning, while the second represented the control group, which studied the traditional Marouf. The experimental tools were designed for creative skills and critical analysis, and data were collected through pre- and post-reading flow. The study reached the following results: 1-Students in the experimental group who used the cooperative learning experience outperformed the proficient group, which had already learned creative reading and critical analysis skills. 2-There was a significant improvement in the experimental group\\\\\\\'s performance in Arabic compared to the control group, demonstrating the success of the cooperative learning experience in enhancing these skills. The research results suggest that students should use the cooperative strategy as a new tool to improve their reading and critical analysis skills, given its positive impact on teaching and learning strategies.
