The effect of an educational curriculum according to the Entwistle model to developing the most important mental abilities of students

Abstract

Scientific development included the emergence of strategies and models that tend to make the learner take the largest role in the learning process, while the teacher performs his role in guidance and guidance, giving the student the opportunity and sufficient time to use these various models, which help in expanding the students’ effectiveness in learning through their active role, one of these models is the Entwistle model. The Entwistle model is one of the models that emphasizes taking into account the learning styles of all students within the classroom, as it is based on the relationship between learning styles and the level of its outcomes. This model contains three orientations linked to different motivations (the orientation toward personal meaning orientation towards productive material, orientation towards achievement) results in specific learning methods that the individual uses in different learning situations during the learning process and leads to different levels of understanding, as well as general motivations in classroom learning. Mental abilities are abilities that an individual possesses or acquires from the external environment. Through practice and training, he is able to perform mental skills with high accuracy, and mental qualities are components that are linked to each other and have a close relationship with each other, as each one of them works with the rest of the other qualities in performing the motor duty. In a way that gives the movement or skill a high flow and aesthetic performance, in addition, it serves as a means of acquiring and mastering various motor skills. These abilities depend on more than one characteristic when executing the motor skills and use more than one mental ability, as the learner or player needs the characteristic of mental perception and awareness of the speed of processing in order to carry out the correct motor performance of the skills.
