Abstract: (17 Views)
The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the brain-based education program on academic enthusiasm, anxiety, and self-efficacy beliefs. The present study was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The study population of the present study included female high school students in Khoy in the academic year 2024-2025. Using purposive sampling, two schools and one class from each school were selected and were randomly assigned one of the classes as the experimental group (n=20) and the other class as the control group (n=20). The instruments of this study included the Megraya Academic Anxiety Questionnaire (2020), Fredericks Academic Enthusiasm (2004), and Zazhakova et al.'s Academic Self-Efficacy Beliefs (2005). The experimental group participated in a brain-based learning training class for 8 sessions of 60 minutes per week. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that after controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference (p<0.01) between the posttest means of academic enthusiasm, academic self-efficacy beliefs, and academic anxiety between the experimental and control groups. Hence, it can be stated that the application of brain-based education can be effective in improving the cognitive and emotional outcomes of learners.
