Abstract

Introduction: In today's society, the Feynman Quantum Learning Technique (1965) is one of the methods of active teaching, a method that includes all the processes that make learning a pleasant and meaningful process. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Feynman quantum learning technique on cognitive and metacognitive skills, academic self-efficacy and students' academic performance.
Method: The research method was quasi-experimental and included an unequal control group design. The study population included students of educational sciences of Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamadan. Using available sampling method, 23 people were randomly divided into experimental (n = 11) and control (n = 12) groups. Research tools include the Cartwright-Hatton and Wells Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategies Questionnaire (1997); Morgan-Jenks (1999) Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Academic Performance Test (researcher-made). Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that Feynman quantum learning technique has an effect on students' cognitive and metacognitive skills at the level (P<0.05). Feynman quantum learning technique has an effect on students' academic self-efficacy at the level (P<0.05). Feynman quantum learning technique has an effect on students' academic performance at the level (P<0.01).
Conclusion: Feynman quantum learning technique activates the learner, the person uses learning strategies and styles and trusts in his / her reading abilities to study the subject with more interest, which increases students' academic progress, academic self-efficacy and academic performance. The application of Feynman's quantum learning technique improved students' cognitive and metacognitive skills, academic self-efficacy, and academic performance.
