Abstract

The effects of teaching reflective thinking model on academic self-efficacy, achievement motivation, intention certainty and reflective thinking of the of Farhangyan University students in Ahvaz. Ahvaz, Iran.

This study aims to determine the effects of teaching reflective thinking model on academic self-efficacy, achievement motivation, intention certainty and reflective thinking of the of Farhangyan University students in Ahvaz.

The research methodology is experimental field study therein pre-test and post-test design with one experimental group and two control groups was implemented. In the present study, two sample groups were selected based on the Stratified sampling and simple random sampling. First sample group was selected for validation of questionnaires and second sample group was selected for intervention.

In this study, the confirmatory factor analysis method was used to determine the reliability and validity of the questions of each questionnaire. And analysis of mancova and one-way covariance were used to test the hypotheses. Before and after intervention, pre-test and post-test were performed.

The results of one-way covariance analysis showed that the scores of academic self-efficacy, achievement motivation, intention certainty and reflective thinking (P = 0.001) were significant. By controlling the effect of pre-tests, there is a significant difference between the post-tests of the experimental group with the first and the second control groups in all variables. The training of reflective thinking model significantly increased the academic self-efficacy, achievement motivation, intention certainty and reflective thinking of experimental group students compared to the first and second control groups. As the reflective teaching model as a modern teaching pattern derived from constructivism theory is currently applied in education departments in most parts of the world, so it is recommended, this method to be utilized as a reliable teaching model for all faculties of universities in our country more confidently.
