Abstract

The aim of this study is to employ an electronic application based on brain-based learning (Mind42) to teach geography, to measure its impact on the development of information processing skills, and to move towards Electronic applications, the research sample consisted of (62) students of the first grade of secondary stage in Naza Elhesh secondary school mixed, They were divided into two groups; experimental group of (31) students and control group of (31) students. The descriptive research methodology and the experimental approach with quasi-experimental design were used to achieve the objectives of the Study and the preparation of its tools which consisted of a test for processing geographical information skills, and a measure of the trend towards electronic applications in learning geography.
The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) in the post application to the information processing and analysis skills test and measure of the trend towards electronic applications in learning geography for the benefit of experimental group students. The results also showed that the effect size (h2) for the application of Mind 42 are significant in the development of geographic information processing skills, and the trend towards electronic applications in learning geography. A set of recommendations and suggestions that relate to the brain sides-based application (Mind 42) in teaching and learning environment was presented.
