The Effectiveness of a Program Based on (NLP) in the Development of Social Communication for the Gifted Sixth Grade Students in Amman
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of a training program based on Neuro Linguistic
Programming (NLP) in the development of social communications skills among gifted six
grade students in the city of Amman. The sample of the study consisted of (60) gifted
students from sixth grade for the second semester of the academic year (2012/2013). The
students were divided into two groups, the experimental group with (30) students and the
control group with (30) students. To achieve the objectives of the study a training program
based on NLP was designed with ten training sessions. The measure of social communication
was applied and was prepared by researchers from the perspective of NLP on the
experimental and control group as pre and post measure. After an appropriate statistical
analysis, the results showed statistically significant differences in social communication skills
between the experimental group and control group in favor of the experimental group.
Students in the experimental group showed better level of possessions and use of social
communication skills. Depending on the results of the current study, the researchers have
made a series of recommendations to take advantage of NLP in various fields of life.
