This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of interactive training programs in developing a set of non-cognitive skills in students at the University of Petra. Furthermore, it sought to examine the impact of the sex, academic year, and university major variables on developing these skills in students who underwent the training program, as well as whether a correlation exists between the GPA of students in the experimental group and how they acquired these non-cognitive skills. The study focused on the following six non-cognitive skills: (a) locus of control; (b) planning; (c) empathy; (d) self-confidence; (e) growth mindset; and (f) grit. The study sample was randomly distributed into three groups: the first (Group A) attended an interactive training program; the second (B) attended a training course using a traditional teaching strategy; while the third (C) did not attend any programs whatsoever. The researchers have designed an interactive training program and a questionnaire to measure the sample’s non-cognitive skills on all six dimensions. The results indicate statistically significant differences between the different teaching methods used on all three groups (A, B, and C) in the overall test, as well as on three dimensions of empathy, growth mindset, and grit in favor of the experimental group (A). Additionally, findings have revealed no significant differences in the extent to which students in the experimental group (A) have acquired non-cognitive skills on the variables of sex, academic year, and university major. Moreover, the study did not show significant correlation between the extent to which students acquired these non-cognitive skills and their GPAs.

This study aimed at uncovering the impact of the strategy of the six hats in the teaching of science on the development of creative thinking among second grade students (in the schools of Jordan Ma'an governorate). The sample of the study consisted of (50) students from the second grade students, and distributed to two divisions (A and B). One of the two groups was randomly chosen to be the control group (25). The other division represented the experimental group (25) students. In the tribal and remote measures, the creative thinking test was used as the image of the words "A", according to the training program prepared by the researcher. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the performance of the study subjects on the test of creative thinking as a whole, and its three dimensions (fluency, flexibility, and originality), And its three dimensions (fluency, flexibility, and originality) were attributed to the six hats program and the academic average for the experimental group, while there were no statistically significant differences in the performance of the study subjects and its secondary dimensions due to the interaction between the training program and the academic rate. In the light of the results reached, the researcher recommended conducting further studies using the program on basic and intermediate grades in other regions to verify its effectiveness.

The paper presents the results of a study of reflexive techniques impact on the educational motivation of medical university students. In the context of the implementation of the humanistic paradigm in pedagogy, the role of motivation in educational activity regulation is analyzed. Reflexion is considered by the subjects of pedagogical process as a factor of facilitation of "objectification" of needs in the context of educational activity and construction of its subjective sense. It was found that for ISMA students professional motives are dominant in educational motivation and avoidance motives are the least declared. As a result of a quasi-experiment with two non-randomized groups, the impact of reflexive techniques on educational motivation was assessed. The techniques made it possible to keep the structure of educational motivation unchanged in the experimental group, while in the control group a decrease in professional motives and an increase in communicative motives were found.
