The study aimed to build a cooperative learning program and measure its effect on developing positive thinking for sixth-grade students in the Southern Ghour region. The study members were randomly chosen from the sixth grade students in the southern Jordan Valley orbit. The number of study personnel reached (70) students, and the sample was divided To two groups: control, and experimental, distributed on (17) students of the control group in pre and post measurement, (17) students of the control group in pre and post measurement, (13) students of the experimental group in pre and post measurement, and (23) students of the group Experimental in pre and post measurement.The scale of positive thinking was distributed to verify the significance of honesty and consistency, and to build a cooperative learning strategies program in (20) session sessions (45 minutes) and the program was applied to the experimental group with (4) sessions for female students and (4) sessions for students. The program lasted five weeks. After completing the application of the program, a dimensional measurement was made for the control and experimental groups. The results of the study showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α ≤0.05) between the average score of the sixth primary students in the experimental group and the control group in the post-positive thinking test due to the use of the training program for cooperative learning and the absence of statistically significant differences on the level of significance (α ≤0.05) in developing dimensional positive thinking attributable to the interaction of program and gender variables
