Abstract

Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on academic burnout and academic performance of students.
Methods: The study was a experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control groups. The statistical population of the study included all female high school students in Ardabil in the academic year 2020-2021, from it, a sample of 30 females was selected by cluster random sampling and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups of 15 students.
To conduct the research, under the same conditions, both groups of per-test were tested using the academic questionnaire. The data collection tools were Bresó, Salanova & Schaufeli (2007), Academic Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), along with Pham & Taylor (1999) Academic Performance Questionnaire (APQ). Afterwards, the experimental group was trained in Captain Log cognitive software for 16 sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. The results were analyzed using multivariate covariance test.
Results: Research results show that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation intervention in the experimental group has reduced academic burnout and increasd students' academic performance (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on these results, the training and application of cognitive rehabilitation seems necessary to provide suitable conditions and platform for teaching and learning.
