The study included a random sample of (158) male and female students.They were divided into two groups (experimental group which included 81 members and control group which included 77 members). The researchers designed two tools to collect study data. The first tool is a scale designed to measure decision-making skill. Furthermore, the scale includes (18) paragraphs, each of which included a problem that a decision must be made about, and the second is plans to implement lessons following the brainstorming method.The results reflected that there were differences, of statistical significance, in the development of decision-making skill. Such differences areattributed to the method and in favor of the brainstorming method. The results also reflected that there were no differences, of statistical significance, in the decisionmaking skill’s development. Such differences areattributed to gender. Moreover, there were no differences that can be attributed to the interaction between gender and method. Based on the results, the researchers presented a number of suggestions and recommendations.
