Abstract

The research problem: It is determined in the following main question: What is the proposed training program based on AIOT applications to develop the digital Evaluation skills of social studies teachers in the primary stage and Effect on Students' Probe Thinking? The following sub-questions branch out from this question:
 1- What is the image of the proposed training program based on AIOT applications to develop digital Evaluation skills among social studies teachers at the primary stage?
 2- What is the effectiveness of the proposed training program based on AIOT applications for developing digital assessment skills among social studies teachers at the primary stage?
 3- What is the impact of the proposed training program based on AIOT applications to develop probing thinking among social studies teacher students at the primary stage?
Research sample: The application was conducted on 30 male and female teachers at the North Educational Administration in the subject of social studies in Port Said and 50 students at Port Said Primary School in the second semester of the academic year 2023/2024.
 Research methodology: The current research relied on the experimental method with its quasi-experimental design, with pre- and post-measurement for one group.
 search limits: providing digital evaluation skills such as (knowledge of the smart digital tools, techniques and applications developed for evaluation using AIOT - designing and creating digital evaluation using AIOT applications - collecting and analyzing digital data using AIOT applications - using digital data to improve the educational process) - Providing probe  thinking skills such as: (analysis of different topics - composition of paragraphs and words to create new results for the topic - evaluation of the roles of different individuals in society - application of information in life and prediction of its results).
 Research tools: digital evaluation skills test - probing thinking skills test.
 research results : The researcher concluded the effectiveness of the Proposed Training Program based on (AIOT) Apps for the Development of Digital Evaluation Skills among Primary Level Social Studies Teachers and Effect on Students' Probe Thinking, and this appeared in the statistical results through which the research hypotheses were achieved.
