This study aimed to investigate the effect of using alternative assessment on scientific thinking in light of the Corona pandemic among students of the upper basic stage in UNRWA schools in Nablus Governorate. The study population consisted of (6087) male and female students; the randomly chosen study sample included (60) boy and girl eighth graders studying at Ghor Al-Far’a Elementary Mixed School. The participants were randomly distributed into two groups. The experimental group included (30) male and female students and was assessed using the alternative assessment method, while the control group (30) boy and girl students was assessed using traditional assessment techniques. The study tools were prepared including a scientific thinking test and a verbal scale. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the performance averages of the members of the control and experimental study groups on the test of scientific thinking skills in favor of the experimental group. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education take alternative assessment into consideration when designing curricula.
