The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of brain-based learning training on the academic competence and cognitive abilities of female students of the second year of middle school in Tabriz city in 2021-2022. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The statistical population was all female secondary school students of the second district of Tabriz city who were studying in the academic year of 2021-2022. The sample consisted of 40 students who were randomly selected in two experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). To collect information in the pre-test and post-test, all participants were evaluated through Diperna Valiot's Academic Competence Questionnaire(1999) and Nejati Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire (2012).The experimental group received the Cain, Cain, McClintic and Klimek (2005) brain-compatible learning training program for eight 60-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance test. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of academic competence and cognitive abilities in favor of the experimental group (p<0.001). According to the results, it can be said that brain-based learning training can have useful practical implications in preventing problems of academic competence and cognitive abilities in students.
