The research aims to design an educational program using the 4MAT model and to determine its impact on critical thinking, represented by (Analysis - Synthesis - Induction - Deduction - Evaluation), and learning outcomes in rural folk dance, represented by (cognitive achievement - level of performance of the innovative sentence in rural folk dance - emotional aspect). The researcher used the experimental method with pre-post measurement for two groups, one experimental and the other control. The research was applied to a sample of third-year female students specializing in movement expression at the Faculty of Physical Education for Girls - Zagazig University for the academic year (2021-2022). The sample consisted of (40) female students, who were randomly divided into two groups, one experimental and the other control, each consisting of (20) students. The researcher used several tests to measure the physical variables (under study), a critical thinking scale (designed by the researcher), a cognitive test of the skills used in the study, and an affective test (designed by the researcher). The results obtained showed that the educational program using the 4 MAT format had a positive impact on developing critical thinking and learning outcomes in rural folk dance for the experimental group. The researcher recommended the implementation of the 4MAT format for all third-year female students at the college, as the results of this study demonstrated the development of critical thinking and learning outcomes in rural folk dance (under study) and the positive results in learning, innovation, and creativity.
