Abstract
This paper aimed to identify the effectiveness of the 4MAT model supported by interactive chats in developing deductive thinking and academic achievement among secondary school female students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve this goal, a deductive thinking test, an achievement test, a teacher's guide, and an activity book were prepared. The tools were applied to a sample of 59 second-grade female students distributed into two experimental and control groups. The results showed statistically significant differences at the level of ≤ 0.05 in the average scores of the two groups in the post-test of deductive thinking and academic achievement in favor of the experimental group. The model supported by interactive chats also led to the development of deductive thinking and academic achievement among female students significantly. There was also a positive correlation between deductive thinking and academic achievement. The paper recommends adopting the (4MAT) model supported by interactive chats in teaching and developing deductive thinking skills that help female students overcome their daily problems.
