The Impact of an Educational Program Based on Brain-Based Learning in Improving the Skills of pivotal Thinking at the Secondary Stage Students

Abstract

The aim of this research is to construct an educational program based on the theory of learning based on the brain and its impact on the development of the pivotal thinking skills of the secondary school students. To achieve the objectives of the research, two equivalent hypotheses were formulated and the two experimental groups were chosen and the research community was selected and chosen. The test of pivotal thinking skills was depended. The test contains (40) items divided into five skills (concentration, information gathering, remembering, integration, and evaluation). Its validity and reliability were derived. Based on pivotal thinking skills, an educational program based on the theory of learning based on the brain and extracted its sincerity and competence in the development of the skills of the pivotal thinking by presenting it to a group of arbitrators and experts in education and psychology. The test and the educational program were applied to a sample of 60 students from the fourth grade, divided into experimental and control groups equally.  Using statistical means, the results showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the control and experimental group in the post-test for the benefit of the experimental group in the test of the skills of pivotal thinking and between the pre- test and the post-test of the experimental group and for the benefit of the post-test. A number of recommendations and proposals have been reached.
