This research aims to identify the effectiveness of an educational program based on the information processing strategy in interactive thinking and inside and outside foot targeting skills on students' football performance. The researchers used the experimental method with two equivalent groups. The research sample consisted of 21 fifth-grade science students at Qutaybah Second Secondary School. The researchers concluded that the educational program based on the information processing strategy has a clear effectiveness in improving interactive thinking and the performance of inside and outside foot targeting skills among students compared to the traditional method. The researcher recommends adopting educational programs based on the information processing strategy in football teaching units due to their role in improving students' skill performance.
