چکیده

 هدف پژوهش حاضر مقایسه نظریه ذهن، انگیزش پیشرفت تحصیلی و رفتار اجتماعی کودکان مدارس طبیعت و عادی با کنترل وضعیت اجتماعی-اقتصادی بود. این پژوهش، توصیفی از نوع پس رویدادی بوده و از جامعه آماری دانش آموزان 7 تا 11 ساله مدارس طبیعت و عادی استان تهران در سال تحصیلی 95-96 نمونه‌ای 55 نفری با روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند از بین کودکان مدارس طبیعت و 55 نفر نیز از کودکان مدارس عادی با روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی انتخاب شدند. برای سنجش متغیرهای موردمطالعه از آزمون نظریه ذهن (TMT)، مقیاس انگیزه تحصیلی (AMS) و مقیاس رفتار اجتماعی کودک (CSBS) استفاده شد. نتایج تحلیل کوواریانس چند متغیری (MANCOVA) نشان داد که بین نظریه ذهن کودکان مدارس طبیعت و عادی تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد. کودکان مدارس طبیعت سطوح بالاتری از نظریه ذهن را نسبت به کودکان مدارس عادی نشان دادند. کودکان مدارس طبیعت انگیزه درونی بالاتر برای یادگیری داشتند و رفتار ضداجتماعی آنها پایین‌تر از کودکان مدارس عادی بود. با در نظر گرفتن نتایج پژوهش، توجه ویژه به اهمیت حضور طبیعت در محیط‌های آموزشی و فراهم کردن فرصت‌های یادگیری از طریق آن برای کودکان پیشنهاد می‌گردد.
