Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the innovative teaching method on the resilience and problem-solving of students in junior high schools in Jovin. This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. In this study, the effect of the innovative teaching method as an independent variable on the resilience and problem-solving of students was examined as dependent variables. The statistical population of the study included all junior high school female students in Jovin in the current academic year. The sample of the study was randomly selected from 3 junior high schools for girls in Jovin, with 60 students, 30 of whom had lower scores than the others, in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. The experimental group was given the innovative teaching method training protocol, and the control group did not receive any training. Before the course, the standard resilience questionnaire and the problem-solving skills questionnaire were distributed to the students. After the training course, questionnaires were distributed among them and comparisons were made between them. In this study, data were analyzed using SPSS 28 software and inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the eta coefficient for the post-test and problem-solving variables is higher than the pre-test and is incremental, meaning that the teaching method has increased and improved the amount of problem-solving and perseverance.
