The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of brain-based learning training on the academic competence and Repetitive Negative Thinking of female students in the second year of middle school in Tabriz city in 2021-2022. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The statistical population was all female secondary school students of the second district of Tabriz city who were studying in the academic year of 2021-2022. The sample consisted of 40 students who were randomly selected in two experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). To collect information in the pre-test and post-test, all participants were evaluated through Diperna Valiot's Academic Competence Questionnaire(1999) and Ehring et al.'s Repetitive negative thinking Questionnaire (2010). The experimental group received the Cain, Cain, McClintic, and Klimek (2005) brain-compatible learning training program for eight 60-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance test. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of academic competence and repetitive negative thinking in favor of the experimental group (p<0.001). According to the results, it can be said that brain-based learning training can have useful practical implications in preventing problems of academic competence and repetitive negative thinking in students.
