Current solution to the problems of education requires more sophisticated and smart approach by choosing that an important part of the (brain-compatible learning) is provided. Brain compatible learning considers how naturally learning take place. It seeks for changing the frame to make an effective teaching based on the structure and functions of human brain.The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of brain compatible learning on the components of planning and problem solving of executive functions of 4th grade of elementary school. This study has been conducted with unequal control group design from quasi-experimental design. The statistical society consisted of all male students in Salam elementary private school of Tehran) 7 school) in 2015-2016 academic year, and the target sample chosen from 38 students of the 4th grade in Salam schools in the district 5. Fifty hours of brain compatible education for experimental teachers’ group and 3 months education were performed for students according to brain compatible lesson plans for mathematics, science and literature lessons. Pre-test and post-test data were collected by using Tower of London Test and they were analyzed by one way analysis of covariance, and multiway analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results showed that brain compatible learning has been effective on planning component of executive functions and also brain compatible learning has been effective on problem solving component of executive functions (F=24/94, P<.0001/0, Effect Size=./416). These findings smart learning with regard to the elements and principles of brain-compatible learning emphasizes the ability to plan and problem solving.

In developing textbooks and curricula. Knowledge generation should be considered as a very important strategy. instructional materials have a crucial role in learning and also in enhancing thinking skills. Thinking skills, therefore , nwwd to be taken intro account, while designing and producing sush materials. In addition eight processes for thinking namely , concept forming , principle forming comprehension problem solving decision making researching and integrating ,play a fundamental role in knowledge generation . among these , problem solving skill because of its close relation to knowledge generation , will be taken intro account in the present paper.
