The findings revealed that the level of needs in developing the teaching activity model to improve the future thinking skills is at a high level. In addition, the findings also indicated that the content needs in developing the model and the needs to use the thinking map in developing the model are at a high level. The findings explained that there is a need to develop the teaching activity model using a thinking map to improve the future thinking skills in order to benefit teachers and students.
