Bullying is a worldwide problem in most schools that can cause physical and psychological impairment on both the bully and the victim. The purpose of this study was to examine the scope of this behavior in Zanjan secondary schools. Using available sampling method, 132 secondary students (93 boys and 39 girls) were selected from four Zanjan secondary schools. All participants were asked to answer individually to the Persian translation of the Bullying Questionnaire (Elena Buccoliere and Marello Darbo, 1991). The result of this study indicated that 80% of students believe the existence of bullying in schools. Although 40.9% of them have witnessed such a behavior, 33.3% were victims and 9.8% were bullies themselves and finally 16% experienced combination of these cases. The results showed that 57% of bullying is done verbally, 40% physically, and 2.56% is of social kind. The study showed that around 57% of the students support the bully when witnessing these situation( for example by laughing, making fun of the victims and frightening them) and only less than 29% respond to the situation by showing no support for the bully (for example by supporting the victims). In terms of the schools staff, results indicated that in the 70% of instances, the schools officials’ responses would intensify bullying, while only in 28.8% of the cases, the staff responses would decrease or stop bullying.considering that bullying threats students’ psychological and physical health,it is necessary and of great importance to predict and control such behavior in schools. Therefore schools should take certain policies to teach the schools’ officials to prevent and intervene in such unpleasant behavior, and also to lessen the devastating effects of these behaviors.

The present study was conducted with the aim of examining the effectiveness of multidimensional motivational-cognitive interventions on task value, mastery goal orientation and academic self-efficiency. This study was quasi-experimental, and the first grade female high school students of Semnan in academic year of 2014-2015 consist of the statistical population of the study. A total of 34 students were selected from two different schools by available sampling method and were randomly assigned into control and experimental groups. Also, participants completed Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire by Pintrich and De Groot. Hypotheses were tested using univariate analysis of covariance model. Findings showed the effectiveness of multidimensional motivational-cognitive intervention on internal goal orientation and self-efficacy in participants of experimental group, but there was not a significant difference between two groups in task value component. Multidimensional motivational-cognitive interventions result in increasing self-efficacy component and developing internal goal orientation component in students.

The aim of this paper was to study the relationship between organizational intelligence and learning organization in Abbaspour Electricity and Water University. This descriptive study was an applied and correlational research. The population included all 180 staff members of the university in academic year 92-93. The stratified sample embraced 123 persons. Marsik and Watkins' Learning Organization Questionnaire and Karl Albrecht's Organizational Intelligence Questionnaire were administered for data collection with Cronbach Alphas being 0.944 and 0.949 respectively. The results revealed a positive and significant correlation of 0.57 between organizational intelligence and learning organization. Based on multiple linear regression, only two out of seven components of organizational intelligence, shared fate and performance pressure could predict the learning organization variable.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs based on Gardner's theory on the multiple intelligences of elementary school female students of the 4th grade. The research was an experimental one with the design of pre-test, post-test and a control group. The population was selected from the school girls of the 4th grade in Isfahan (2011-2012). 30 students were selected by the way of multi-stage sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. Gardner's Multiple Intelligence questionnaire was the measuring instruments which their validity and reliability have also been approved. Obtained data were analyzed by using the statistical method of covariance analysis. Results showed that Gardner`s training program had a positive effect on the scores of visual-spatial intelligence, verbal-linguistic intelligence, musical- rhythmic intelligence, movement – physical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence except intrapersonal intelligence, and logic - mathematical knowledge of students participating in post- test of experimental group (P< 0/01). So, it can be concluded that Gardner`s training program is an effective method of intervention to increase multiple intelligence of students.

This research aimed at studying the impact of educational multimedia use on learning and motivation in the field of anesthesiology in University of Medical Sciences was studying physiology. The population was all the students of anesthesiology in University of Medical Sciences. Convenience sampling was selected. The Sample size was 40 subjects who participated in two 20-person classes. This study used a pretest-posttest control group design. The instrument included tests of learning self-made (with a pre-test and post-test reliability for 90/0 learning with 88/0 reliability), a self-made multi-media (with reliable 83/0) and Hermens Achievement Motivation Questionnaire. To analyze the data, independent t-test was used with Levine test. The findings showed that: 1- Students learn the physiology course in education multimedia methods trained, more than students who were trained to teach Traditional physiology. 2- Achievement Motivation of students in the two groups was not statistically significantly different from each other. Due to the impact of educational multimedia on students, it seems that this method is useful in medical universities and inevitable. The use of educational multimedia does not increase the achievement motivation.
