<p>The research aims to know the impact of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education on both creative thinking and mathematical achievement. To achieve it, the two researchers followed the quasi-experimental approach with an experimental design for two groups, one experimental and the other a control. The research sample consisted of (32) female students from the fourth scientific grade in Al-Intisar Preparatory School for Girls / Al-Rasafa, First Directorate. The sample was chosen intentionally and was divided into two groups: a control group studying by the traditional method, their number (16), and an experimental group that applied the STEM approach, their number also (16). There was parity between the two research groups in the variables (chronological age, previous achievement in mathematics, innovative thinking). The research tools consist of testing innovative thinking skills (fluency, flexibility, originality, relationships) and achievement tests. The research experiment was applied before and after. To test the validity of the hypotheses, data were collected and then statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. The results of the research found that there were statistically significant differences in both the tests of innovative thinking and mathematical achievement in favor of the experimental group that studied according to the STEM approach, and in light of the results, the researchers recommended several recommendations and suggestions.</p>

“…Information processing: It is the individual's distinctive method, the level of its reception, the treatment of the learned material and how it is circulated, distinguished, transformed, and stored for it, and how much and how it uses, derives, or produces connections from among the new and existing information in the cognitive construction. It is also a cognitive process that takes place in the mental field to expand perception, through organization, classification, coding, analysis, evaluation, and criticism of information to represent it, assimilate it, retain it, and retrieve it, and it extends between the surface and depth, and the expansion of information according to the nature of the goal of learning [20][21][22]. The researchers adopted a definition [23] as a theoretical definition of the research.…”

The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of the educational pillars strategy based on Vygotsky's theory in mathematical achievement and information processing of first-grade intermediate students. In pursuit of the research objectives, the experimental method was used, and the quasi-experimental design was used for two equivalent groups, one control group taught traditionally and the other experi-mental taught according to the educational pillars strategy. The research sample consisted of (66) female students from the first intermediate grade, who were inten-tionally chosen after ensuring their equivalence, taking into account several factors, most notably chronological age and their level of mathematics, and they were dis-tributed equally into two groups, one experimental and the other control. The re-search tools were represented in the teacher's handbook for the application of the educational pillars strategy, the achievement test in mathematics, and the test of information processing skills. The researchers applied the experiment in the first semester of the (2019/2020) academic year. One of the researchers taught the ex-perimental group by applying the educational pillars strategy, while the control group studied according to the usual method. The mathematical achievement test and the data processing skill test were applied to the experimental and control re-search groups, and then the data necessary for statistical analysis and access to results were obtained. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups and control groups in the mathematical achievement test. There were also statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the test of the skill of information processing, and the size of the effect was calculated by describing a function of the effectiveness of the strategy on the two independent variables (mathematics achievement, information processing), as it became clear that the educational pillars strategy based on Vygotsky's theory has great effectiveness. On mathematics achievement and on developing students' information processing skills

This research aims to know the essence of the correlative relationship between decision-making skills and academic achievement among students of computer science departments in the colleges of education in the Baghdad governorate. The size of the research sample of students in the two colleges amounted to (200) male and female students distributed by (104) male and (96) female students. To measure the decision-making skill and academic achievement, the researcher built two tests, the first to measure the decision-making skill, and the second an achievement test in the numerical analysis subject prescribed for second-year students, Department of Computer Science, and the validity and reliability of each test was verified. After collecting and analyzing the data, the researchers concluded that the students of the computer science departments in the colleges of education in the province of Baghdad possessed the decision-making skill compared to the hypothetical average that was compared, while the female students outperformed the male students in the decision-making skill test that was prepared for this research. And their achievement is good compared to the hypothetical average that was compared, while the female students outperformed the male students in the achievement test for the subject of numerical analysis. There is a correlation between the decision-making skill and the academic achievement of the students as a whole. However, there is no correlation between the decision-making skill and the students' academic achievement, while there is an inverse correlation between the decision-making skill and the student's achievement. The research reached several recommendations.
