摘要

This Paper aims to assess the impact of the Wikis tool within the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS), in conjunction with the Know-Want-Learn (KWL) strategy, on students’ academic achievement and cognitive development. Through a detailed analysis of student responses, the study seeks to determine whether this combined approach promotes critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of course material. The sample is chosen to ensure the diversity of the learning backgrounds with participants from different levels of prior academic achievement. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, including an electronic survey administered to the study sample which consisted of (38) female students in the leadership entrepreneurship and innovation course at Lusail University, the age average of the participants is (26.5) years. The study results revealed the role and effectiveness of the WIKI Tool and KWL Strategy in achieving educational goals and output in a developed and innovative manner, contributing to raising academic achievement among students, as reflected in the strong positive correlation between using technological tools in the educational process, making them stimulating for learning and developing analytical and creative thinking skills, and the effectiveness of the tool in achieving the required outputs.
