Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of a proposed instructional model based on transformative learning theory in teaching mathematics to enhance the mental motivation and productive thinking of first-grade preparatory students. The research sample consisted of (77) students from the first-grade preparatory class. The research tools included the Mental Motivation Scale and the Productive Thinking Test. The research materials consisted of a proposed instructional model, a student handbook, and a teacher's guide. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the Mental Motivation Scale in favor of the experimental group. There was also a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the Productive Thinking Test in favor of the experimental group. Furthermore, there was a positive and statistically significant correlation between mental motivation and productive thinking among first-grade preparatory students.
