ABSTRACT
Aim: The present study investigated the impact of a training program based on Autonomous learner model of Betts on developing creative leadership skills of gifted students in Jordan. Method: The study adopted the quasi-experimental approach. A sample of 60 Jordanian gifted students were recruited from the "Talent and Creativity Program" launched by International Pioneers Academy in Amman. The study sample was divided randomly into a control group (n=30) and an experimental group (n=30). The researcher designed a creative leadership scale that investigated 11 domains, they were: Vision, planning, social communication, motivation, team building, public relations, management, communication, conflict resolving, decision making, and problem solving. The designed training program included activities that focused on learners' autonomy through a set of activities that allow the students to use their metacognitive and behavioral abilities. Results: The results of the study showed that there were significant statistical differences in the post-assessment of the creative leadership scale between the control group and the experimental group at a significance level (伪鈮�0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded the effectiveness of the training program based on Betts learner autonomy model on developing the creative leadership and problem solving skills among Jordanian gifted students. The study recommended providing a comprehensive educational and training package to activate the autonomous learning programs designed for developing the creative leadership and problem solving skills among gifted students.
