The study aims to reveal the effect of the difference in the timing of providing guidance and support by the specialist working with groups (before / during / after) implementing electronic activities programs in the light of the cognitive load theory to develop the skills of secondary education students, and the study depends on the following hypothesis (there are statistically significant differences due to the difference in timing Support (before/during/after) among the averages of the experimental electronic groups in the implementation of electronic activities programs on (the cognitive load scale, the cognitive skill aspect, the electronic activities evaluation card) in the post measurement. This study belongs to quasi-experimental studies using the experimental method, which measures the effect of the experimental variable, which is the difference in the timing of providing support (before / during / after) on the dependent variable, which is the practice of electronic activities programs in the light of the theory of cognitive load, and three tools for the study were relied on for the study, and they were applied to A sample of (30) students divided into three experimental groups. The result of the study reached to accept the imposition of the study in favor of providing support during the practice of electronic activities programs, and this depends on the skill of the specialist and the team working with him in directing the members of the group during the practice of electronic activities programs, and the study recommended the need to take advantage of electronic activities to teach and develop the capabilities and skills of members The group to design and produce some electronic activities programs from the perspective of how to work with groups.
