Introduction: We need social skills to succeed in interpersonal relationships. Positive emotions and self-satisfaction are the results of success in these relationships. This study aimed to Compare the Effectiveness of Brain-Based Learning and Creative Thinking in Improving Students' Social Skills of ninth grade high school male students in Bonab city.Method: The type of quasi-experimental research was pre-test-post-test and the statistical population of this study was ninth-grade male students in the academic year 1399-1400 in Bonab city. Among these students, 45 were selected by cluster random sampling. Students were randomly divided into three groups of 15 in two experimental groups and one control group. The number of training sessions was 15 sessions of 45 minutes for each experimental group. Data were collected using the Keramati Social Skills Development Questionnaire (2007). The obtained data were analyzed by analysis of covariance and SPSS-26 software.Results: Findings obtained from analysis of covariance showed that training classes are effective in increasing the social skills of experimental groups. Also Creative thinking 39.2% and brain-based education 37.9% explained the variance of social skills scores.Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the training of brain-based learning and creative thinking has a significant effect (p<0.05) on social skills and has promoted it in experimental groups. Also, the effect of creative thinking in promoting social skills has been more than brain-based learning.
