Abstract

This paper addresses the design and production of multimedia training programs for problem solving skill and its effect on the mental health of high school female students in Kermanshah. The studied group included students sponsored by Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation. From five Relief Foundations in Kermanshah, Foundation Office Region 2 was randomly selected; female students were selected from all male and female students sponsored by the foundation. High school students were selected among students of elementary, middle school and high school. Finally, first grade students were randomly selected among high school students (multi-stage cluster sampling). This quasi-experimental study (pre-test/post-test) was conducted using an experimental group and a control group. The control group was trained in problem solving skill without training, and the experimental group was trained in the same skill through multimedia environment for 10 sessions. Data relating to mental health was gathered by standardized questionnaire(28-GHQ), which was administered in three phases: pre-test, post-test and retention test. In order to analyze data, both methods of descriptive statistics(frequency distribution, mean, standard error, graphs and tables) and inferential statistics (covariance and t test) was used. The results showed that multimedia-training programs for problem-solving skills is effective on the mental health of students, and its educational effects will be relatively stable over time.
