The validity of the two instruments was verified in terms of their accuracy, validity, reliability, and discriminating power. The teacher applied the experimental material in the first semester of the academic year (2025-2026). The experiment began on Wednesday, (25/2/2026) and ended on Monday, (2/4/2026). The experiment took a full semester. After the experiment ended, the instrument was applied to the sample members.After collecting and statistically analyzing the data using the SPSS statistical software, the results were as follows:There was no statistically significant difference between the average scores of students in the experimental group, who studied using the learning stations strategy, and the average scores of students in the control group, who studied using the traditional method, in terms of developing their generative thinking skills. Based on the research findings, the researcher reached several conclusions and recommendations, the most prominent of which are the following:The feasibility of applying the learning stations strategy in Islamic education for the fourth grade literary stream).(The researcher recommended a number of measures, most importantly: the necessity of adopting the learning stations strategy in teaching Islamic education at the preparatory level in our schools.
