The research aimed at investigating the effect of using a situated learning -based strategy to develop some critical thinking skills and enhance English language learning interest at preparatory stage pupils. The research employed a one group pre-posttest design. Subjects were (30) female second year preparatory school pupils at Assuit City. The experiment lasted for one academic semester. Tools of the research included: (1) a situated learning-based strategy guide, (2) a critical thinking skills checklist, (3) a critical thinking sub-skills test and (4) an English language learning interest questionnaire. Paired Samples t test was used to reveal significance of differences between means of scores of the study group in the pre and the post implementation of the Critical Thinking Sub-Skills Test and the English Language Learning Interest Questionnaire. Analysis of data indicated significantly better post gains. The research concluded that the proposed situated learning-based strategy guide had a positive effect in developing critical thinking skills and enhancing English language learning interest at preparatory stage pupils.

The teaching materials in this study were developed using a scientific approach in terms of the structure of their preparation and development. They were developed to direct students to active learning and improve their critical thinking. Critical thinking skills are highly needed to solve complex problems in various situations, including those that arise in the communication technology industry era. This study was designed as a research and development. The subjects of the study were 45 students of 7th grade, and the object was the students' critical thinking skills through the application of teaching materials based on a scientific approach. Teaching materials development was carried out through 1) needs analysis; 2) product design includes the formulation of learning objectives, writing teaching materials following the scientific approach, and deepening the content of the materials; 3) initial product assessment stage, and 4) application of teaching materials. The data obtained were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using an independent sample t-test. The results show that the teaching materials developed were feasible to use with a score of 4.28 in the very good category. Student responses to teaching materials based on a scientific approach were in the high response category. Based on testing with the independent sample t-test, the P-value obtained was 0.0437 <0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of scientific approach-based teaching materials has an effect on improving students' critical thinking skills.
