The objective of the research is to identify the effectiveness of the Polytechnic theory in the development of the information processing methods of the secondary students. To achieve the goal, the zero hypothesis was established. That assumes there is no statistically signifcant difference at signifcance level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group who will study according to the strategies of the Polytechnic Theory And the average score of the control group who will study according to the usual method in the scale of information processing methods, and to verify them, the experiment was implemented in the second semester of the academic year (2017–2018), The study sample consisted of (64) fourth grade students in the Al-Jihad preparatory school. The two groups were equalized in the following variables: The chronological age, IQ test scores, the scale of information processing methods built by Badran (2000) was used and the experiment lasted 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, a scale was applied to the two groups. The results were then analyzed and showed that the students of the experimental group were superior to the control group who studied in the usual way.
