The study sample consisted of (60) tenth graders at Al-Salam Secondary Boys School of the Ministry of Education in Qalqilya for the academic year 2019/2020 divided into two divisions. The first division represents the control group consisting of (30) students who were taught according to the usual teaching method, and the second division is the experimental group consisting of (30) students who were taught according to the Scientific Stations teaching method. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used the semi-experimental approach. The study tools used were represented by the habits of the mind development questionnaire consisting of 35 items according to Likert’s five-point scale, and their validity and reliability were verified by appropriate means. The results of the study show existence of differences in the Scientific Stations teaching method in developing habits of the mind. The researcher recommended that the Scientific Stations strategy should be included in the Ministry of Education’s programs for preparing teachers and educational supervisors.
