Abstract

The research has been aimed to build a Blended training program in the light of the TPACK framework to develop the competencies of interactive lesson designing and design thinking among female students at the Faculty of Home Economics. The training program, experimental processing materials, and research tools, which included (a cognitive test - a graded assessment scale - a measure of the tendency towards interactive lesson designing in the light of the TEPAC framework) to measure the components of the competencies of interactive lesson design and a test for design thinking ; In its applied part, the research followed the quasi-experimental approach with two groups, the control and the experimental, and the research sample consisted of(45)student teacher in the experimental group , while their number in the control group was (40). The equivalence of the two groups and the application of research tools to the two groups, before / after, with the application of the proposed program to the students of the experimental group in an integrated manner that combines direct training and electronic training. The research tools compared to tribal measurement; It was also found that there are statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group students in the post performance on the research tools in each component of competency and in design thinking compared to the post performance of the control group students.
