The research sample consisted of (30) female students in the first year of secondary school. The research tool was a achievement motivation scale (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 achievement motivation scale as a whole and in each dimension separately, in favor of the post- assessment , and this indicates acceptance of the second hypothesis of the research hypotheses.
Consequently, the results of the research confirmed the effectiveness of the program based on brain-based learning in developing achievement motivation 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.
