This research aims to identify (the effectiveness of a proposed This research aims to identify “The Effect of a Proposed Educational Program Based on the Humanistic Approach on the Achievement in Social Studies among Second Intermediate Grade Students.” To achieve the research objective, the researcher adopted the quasi-experimental design with partial control, specifically the design of a control group with pre- and post-testing. The research sample consisted of (60) second intermediate grade students, divided equally into two groups:(30) students in the experimental group and (30) in the control group. The preparation of the program went through three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The researcher developed guides for both teachers and students to teach the content, which included lesson plans based on humanistic approach strategies, namely cooperative learning strategy, problem-solving strategy, and role-playing strategy. The researcher also developed a tool to measure the dependent variable of the research: an achievement test consisting of three questions. The first question included (36) multiple-choice items assessing knowledge, comprehension, and application levels. The second and third questions consisted of four essay items assessing the analysis level. The validity, reliability, and psychometric properties of the test were verified. The research results indicated the superiority of the experimental group students who studied social studies using the humanistic approach-based program over the control group students who studied the same material using the traditional program in the achievement test.
