Abstract

The current study aimed to examine the influence of enrichment programs in the Arabic language on development of Creativity Thinking Skills among Potentially Gifted Arabic Students in elementary schools within the Green Line from the perspective of Arabic language teachers. Six teachers were interviewed, then the results were analyzed according to thematic analysis. The results showed that the enrichment program in the Arabic language contributes positively to enabling potentially gifted primary school students to possess creative thinking skills. This is due to the nature of the designed enrichment activities and educational experiences in the Arabic language enrichment program, which develops creative thinking skills, namely: originality, innovation, imagination and problem solving. The researcher recommended the necessity of training teachers to use accurate global diagnostic tools such as the (EPoC) battery, to help them accurately identify the characteristics of gifted students, and then take care of them carefully by employing the procedures of the enrichment program, which includes several activities that serve creative thinking skills according to the integrative cognitive approach.
