Abstract	This article explored the effectiveness of employing the e-mind mapping strategy in scientific courses in Emirati private preparatory schools in the light of adopting the blended learning approach. It explored that from the perspective of students. The researchers adopted the descriptive analytical and quantitative approaches. They used a survey that was developed by them based on several studies. Those studies were published in peer-reviewed journals. The forms of the survey were uploaded to the web through using the use of Google Form. The purposive sampling method was employed. For instance, the researchers sent the link of the survey to 400 students in five Emirati private preparatory schools. Two schools of those ones are located in Ajman, one school in Abu Dhabi, one school in Dubai and one school in Sharjah. However, 182 forms were filled. The response rate is 45.5%. The researchers used descriptive statistical methods. They found that the effectiveness of employing the e-mind mapping strategy in scientific courses in Emirati private preparatory schools in the light of adopting the blended learning approach is high. This strategy promotes innovation within students and improves their learning skills. It enables students to carry out self-learning practices. It improves students' ability to do writing-related tasks. The researchers recommend holding courses for teachers for teaching them the way of creating e-mind maps through using various software.
