The Impact of a Brain-Based Learning Program on Developing Productive Thinking Skills among Seventh-Grade Students in Jordan

This study examined the impact of a brain-based learning program on developing productive thinking skills among seventh-grade students in Jordan. A quasi-experimental design was adopted, involving 57 students, randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 28), which studied the brain-based program, and a control group (n = 29), which followed the regular curriculum. To achieve the study’s objectives, a 65-item productive thinking test covering seven domains: fluency, flexibility, expansion, originality, discrimination and classification, evaluation and decision-making, creative problem-solving. scored on a five-point scale, was developed, with verified validity and reliability, and administered to both groups before and after the intervention. The results showed statistically significant differences favoring the experimental group in both individual and overall productive thinking skills. The study recommended integrating brain-based learning strategies in teaching grammatical concepts to seventh-grade female students to enhance students’ productive thinking skills.
