Brain-based learning is the knowledge of the rules and regulations of the brain to create meaningful learning and organize training based on them. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of brain-based educational application on learning and memorization of experimental science course for second grade elementary students in the 98-99 academic year. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all the second-grade male students of in Qom province and the participants including 30 people who were selected as the available sample were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people. The tools of this study included a researcher-made brain-based application and a researcher-made learning test. The validity of this test was confirmed by the instructors and experts in the field of education and also its reliability was reported to be 0.78 using the Koder Richardson 20 method. Students in the experimental group were influenced by brain-based application-based education for 10 sessions. In order to inferentially analyze the data, repeated measures analysis of variance was used. The findings showed that brain-based educational application has a significant effect on learning and retention.(p<0.05). Therefore, the use of educational application designed based on the principles of brain-based learning has a significant effect on learning and retention the experimental science course of second grade elementary students. According to the research results, it is suggested that the principles of brain-based learning be used in instructional application to enhance learing and retention.
