Abstract
The present study is to investigate the effects of the problem solving and the brainstorm active teaching methodologies on the educational progress of fifth-grade male students in the Social Training Course in Andimeshk in the academic year 2010-2011. The population included the male fifth graders studying at elementary schools in Andimeshk that year. In sampling, firstly, an elementary school with two working times was selected randomly through a two-step cluster sampling. In each working time, there were two classes of fifth graders one of which being selected on a random basis. Again, one of the two was selected randomly as the test group (the first group) and the other as the control group (the second group). After that, the first group received the brainstorm methodology and the second group received George poliya’s Problem Solving. Then, a teacher-made test including 50 multiple-choice items was administered to both groups. Next, 20 instruction sessions were designed for geography (8 sessions), history (7 sessions), and civil law (5 sessions). The content was scrutinized by the researcher, then 20 lesson plans were written for each class with regards to the methodological, cognitive, psychomotor, and emotional considerations at all levels. The researcher performed the procedure through 2.5 months. The researchers used the SPSS software to analyze the data. The descriptive statistics included frequency, bar graphs, circle graphs, mean, and standard deviation. The inferential statistics consisted of independent t, Lon test, and dependent t to determine the level of significance. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean of educational progress among students receiving the brainstorm and the problem solving active of George Polio methodology, and the main theory is confirmed.
