Abstract

This study aimed to identify the degree of employment of the Six Hats Strategy by primary education teachers in the educational process in public schools in Latakia Governorate according to the categorical variables (gender, school location, years of experience, academic qualification, and type of subject). The descriptive analytical approach was used, where a questionnaire consisting of 24 paragraphs was distributed to a sample of 200 male and female teachers. The study concluded that the percentage of agreement with the arithmetic mean for the degree of use of the Six Hats Strategy by primary education teachers in the educational process was all high, and male and female teachers employ the Six Hats Strategy in a similar manner, without significant differences attributable to gender. In addition, new teachers employ the Six Hats Strategy more than teachers with long-term, medium experience. There is also no difference in the degree of teachers’ employment of the Six Hats Strategy distributed according to academic qualification, type of subject, and educational cycle. The study recommended encouraging school administrations and organizing training courses for teachers in order to implement the Six Hats Strategy in the educational process in public schools in Lattakia Governorate.
