This study is aimed at exploring effectiveness of corporative and brainstorming teaching methods in social competency of male junior high school ٢nd-graders in the city of Ghods. The study is of applied nature. In order to achieve the research goal, the authors adopted the quasi-experimental research method. The research plan comprises pretest and post-test with experimental groups ١ and ٢. The statistical population consists of all male junior high school ٢nd-graders in the city of Ghods in the academic year ٢٠١١-٢٠١٢. Classes ٢/١ and ٢/٣from Shahid Mortazavi Junior High School were taken as the sample and selected using the two-stage random cluster sampling method. Randomly, class ٢/٣ was exposed to the independent variable of corporative method, and class ٢/١ was exposed to the independent variable of brainstorming method. First, a social competency pre-test was administered to both groups, and after presentation of the course at the second semester, a post-test was administered to the both. The data originating from the pre-test and post-test were analyzed with MANOVA for the discriminant scores. The research findings suggest that the corporative teaching method is more effective in social competency than the brainstorming method. It is recommended that the teachers should become familiar with the application of active teaching methods to make improvements in mental-social conditions of the students.

The research population consisted of all the male students in the second grade of secondary school of Qods town in the school year 2011-2012. Using Two-stage cluster sampling method, 2/1 and 2/3 classes of Shahid Mortazavi secondary school were randomly selected as the sample population.Theclass2/3 was randomly assigned to be exposed to the independent variable of collaborative method, and the class 2/1 was assigned to be exposed to the independent variable of brainstorming. First, the social competence pretest was administrated to both groups, and both groups were post-tested after passing the course in the second semester. By using the multivariate analysis of variance test (MANOVA), the data resulted from pretest and posttest was analyzed for difference scores. The results of this research showed that the collaborative teaching method was more effective on social competence compared to brainstorming method. In order to improve the mental-social state of the students, teachers are recommended to get familiar with the usage of active methods of teaching.
