Main Article Content
Abstract
In order to achieve the research objectives, the researcher used the experimental method and experimental design for two independent samples in some variables, and the total sample was 75 by 37. A student in the experimental group and 38 students in the control group. The dimensions of thinking model was used in teaching the experimental group, while the control group was taught in the usual way. The mental wandering scale was then built, consisting of 34 items. The two groups were tested and the results were superior to the group. Experimental and control, and the SPSS statistical program was used to extract data, and all data were good.
