Die Teilnehmer waren in der elften und zwölften Klassen der öffentlichen Schulen in der State of Kuwait. Die Gesamtzahl der Probe betrug 157 Studenten; 75Jun- gen und 82 Mädchen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass in der Regel gibt es keine Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern oder akademische Spezialisierungen in der Studie Variablen. Kreatives Denken erwies sich positiv signifikant mit emotionaler Intelligenz korreliert werden, aber es wurde nicht gefunden, umkri- tisches Denken bezogen werden. Darüber hinaus haben wissenschaftliche Spezialisierung und Geschlecht (separat erhältlich) einen statistisch signifikanten Einfluss auf das kreative Denken, aber es gibt keinen statistisch signifikanten Effekt der Interaktion zusammen auf kreatives Denken. Darüber hinaus istdie wichtigste unabhängige Variable um kreatives Denken vorherzusagen emotionale Intelligenz.

The Effectofthe Project Method on the Development of Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking and Emotional Intelligence. A Case Study of Secondary School Students in the State of Kuwait This research focuses on the project method, one of the main measures of the progressive movement championed by Dewey and Kilpatrick to educate and develop several cognitive and personality abilities and trends in students. This research discusses various theoretical and practical aspects of the project method within and outside of the school environment. A review of the literature supports the impact and importance of project method pro- grammes on educational outcomes. The sample in this research is schools in the State of Kuwait. To understand the educational system in Kuwait, the study compares the educational systems of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with particular focus on educational stages and scholastic activities programmes. Many educational facts and results have already appeared in this comparison. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to explore the effect of the project method on the teaching of agriculture in schoolson students฀ development according to three variables –creative thinking, critical thinking and emotional intelligence –using a case study of secondary school students in the State of Kuwait. This study also attempts to examine the differences between the genders and students with different academic special- izations (scientific and literary) in the variables of this study. Furthermore, we investigate the directions of the correlations among the three variables of this study – creative thinking, critical thinking and emo- tional intelligence – in the total sample of secondary school students in this study. Additionally, we study the effect and interaction of gender and academic specialization (scientific and literary) on creative think- ing. Finally, we determine the best predictors of creative thinking among the study variables of critical thinking and emotional intelligence. The sample consisted of adolescents with a mean age of 17.2 years (SD 1.94 years). The participants were in the eleventh and twelfth grades of public secondary schools in the State of Kuwait. The total number of the sample was 157 students; 75 boys and 82 girls. The results generally show that there are no differences between the genders or academic specializations in the study variables. Creative thinking was found to be positively significantly correlated with emotional intelligence but it was not found to be related to critical thinking. Furthermore, academic specialization and gender (separately) have a significant statistical effect on creative thinking, but there is no significant statistical effect of their interaction together on creative thinking. Additionally, the most important independent variable to predict creative thinking is emotional intelligence. Finally, conducting an agriculture project – the specific project studied in this research– had a significant positive effect on the variables amongthe secondary school students in this study.

Someone just did! expats express kuwait! EEK! Free Subscription: [email protected] Kuwait’s first and only e-newsletter for the Western minded expat Issue #3 11/2011 “thousands of brands rushing online without thinking...” “No, no, no my dear, EEK! is NOT “ONLINE” anything, it is simply “e”. Yanni, you can say it is “PRINTED MEDIA DELIVERED IN A DIGITAL FORMAT”. And so it goes, in so many of our marketing pitches we, EEK!, have to explain that we are not an online entity, and that “e” does not mean “website”. I know this is preaching to the converted, but yikes folks, if you’re not subscribed you don’t get it! Get it?! LOL This whole issue of “e” has been a very interesting road to take. I recently met up with an old friend and we had a chat on where and what EEK! is and where it fits in in the local media landscape. “Dude, EEK! is like a printed blog” he said as his glasses fogged up from the coffee half an inch from his nose. This statement made me realize for the first time that “yes, EEK! isn’t just about news, its way too intimate for that!”. (And intimate it is let me tell you. We receive loads of mails from you, our subscribers, and we try to read each and every one - we’re doing our best to keep up...) But I digress.
