Abstract

The current research aimed to design a program based on brain-based learning to develop philosophical thinking skills among first-year secondary school students. The research sample consisted of (30) female students in the first year of secondary school. The research tool was a philosophical thinking skills test (prepared by the researcher), and it was administered pre and post to the research group, the research concluded:
1-There is a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of the research group students in the pre- and post- assessment of the philosophical thinking skills test as a whole and in each skill separately, in favour of the post-assessment.

Consequently, the results of the research confirmed the effectiveness of the program based on brain-based learning in developing philosophical thinking skills among first-year secondary school students.

The research recommended the following:

1- The need to train teachers to use the principles of brain-based learning in teaching various branches of philosophical subjects.
2- Comprising the philosophical thinking skills in the content of secondary school curricula.
3- The need to pay attention to the questions, activities, and instructional situations presented to learners that help them develop philosophical thinking skills.
4- Integrating the principles of brain-based learning into the teaching strategies and models used in teaching philosophy at the secondary level.
