Development and Validation a Training Package Based on Sternberg\'s Successful Intelligence Theory: Examining its Effectiveness on Self-regulation and Academic Resilience in High School Students

Abstract

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to develop and validate a training package based on Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence and examine its impact on the self-regulation and academic resilience in high school students. Methods: This research was conducted as an applied study, employing a semi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest design that included a control group. The research targeted eleventh-grade female students in Zahedan, Iran, during the year 2022. The sample size for the study consisted of 60 participants. Following the pretest, 30 students from the experimental group underwent a series of 10 training sessions focused on the components of successful intelligence. The research tools utilized for data collection encompassed self-regulation academic questionnaire and academic resilience scale. Results: The results of data analysis, employing covariance analysis, demonstrated a significant difference (p < 0.01) between the experimental group and the control group in terms of both self-regulation and academic resilience. Conclusions: Consequently, educators have the opportunity to incorporate Sternberg's successful intelligence theory as an effective pedagogical approach to enhance students' self-regulation and academic resilience within their educational framework.
