THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A TRAINING PROGRAM (COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL) TO REDUCE THE LEVEL OF COGNITIVE FAILURE AMONG A SAMPLE OF EL-MERGIB UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

     The current research aims to test the effectiveness of a training program in reducing the level of cognitive failure among a sample of students at Al-Murqab University. The study was conducted on a sample of 20 male and female students who had high scores on the cognitive failure scale, divided into experimental and control groups. The researcher followed the steps of the experimental method in conducting this research and used the Arabized Prodent scale for cognitive failure to measure cognitive failure before implementing a training program based on cognitive theory, developed by the researcher. The researcher then re-administered the cognitive failure scale after the program sessions ended to calculate the significance of differences between pre-test and post-test measurements in the experimental group, as well as the significance of differences between the experimental and control groups in the post-test measurement. The results indicated statistically significant differences in favor of the post-test measurement in the experimental group and statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group. The researcher concluded with a set of recommendations that involve utilizing the findings of this research to reduce the level of cognitive failure among university students.
