Abstract


The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of using a training program based on Frank Williams’ model of emotional cognitive interaction in the development of divergent creative feelings among tenth-grade students in King Abdullah II schools for excellence. A semi-experimental curriculum was used on a sample of (40) male and female students, the researchers distributed them randomly into two groups consisted of (20) students each, and they used the Creative Divergent Feeling Scale (LOLEMS), and they developed a program based on the emotional cognitive model. Results indicated the existence of the impact of the training program for the benefit of the experimental group, it also showed no differences due to the gender variable, and the results also showed that there are differences attributed to the parents' educational level variable in favor of the bachelor's degree holders. The study recommended the training of gifted students on the skills involved in the curriculum and the behavior of students in the emotional, cognitive interaction model, which helps them to develop a creative divergence feeling.
