Abstract

This research was a quasi - experimental research. It aimed to study the effect of brain, mind, and learning program with Zumba exercise training on executive functions of the brain among 10th grade students. The samples, 52 10th grade students, were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group (26 for each group) by matching the executive functions scores using the Executive Function Self Evaluate Report (EFSER). The research instruments were 1) EFSER 2) brain, mind, and learning program combined with Zumba exercises developed by the researcher. The program consisted of 9 sessions, lasted for 60 minutes for each session. The outcomes were measured at 3 time points for analysis: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up phases. The data were analyzed by a repeated-measures analysis of variance and paireddifferent test by Bonferroni method. The results showed that 1) The executive functions of the brain of students in the experimental group were higher than the control group in the post-test phase with statistically significant differences at the .05 level, 2) The executive functions of the brain of students in the experimental group were higher than the control group in the follow-up phase with statistically significant differences at the .05 level, 3) The experimental group had executive functions of the brain in the post-test phase higher than in the pre-test period with statistical significant differences at the .05 level, and 4) The executive functions of the brain of students in the experimental group in the follow-up period and the pre-experimental period were not statistically significant difference.
