Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to design an executive function enhancement program using Marzano's Taxonomy of educational objectives for the 6th grade primary school students.


Methods: The study designed and evaluated the effectiveness of the program by comparing the pre-test score to the post-test score of executive function of 20 students using the cambridge neuropsychological test automated battery. Date were analysed using a Paired Sample t-test.


Results: Training with the program the sample had higher executive function scores than those of before. The experts also commented that the program in general, the most suitable level for increasing executive function and found that grade 6 students were able to perform the program activities well and were satisfied with the program as a whole at a very appropriate level.


Conclusions: The study found that the executive function enhancement program using Marzano's Taxonomy of educational objectives among the 6th grade primary school students had high efficiency.
