This research was conducted with the aim of developing and validating the educational package of brain- compatible learning based on Cain's theory and its effectiveness on the academic engagement of elementary school girls. The statistical sample in order to validate the training package produced included 15 experts who have expertise in the subject of brain-compatible learning, who were selected in a purposeful way. The statistical sample in the quantitative section was 40 elementary school students in Tehran's 2nd district, who were selected by multi-stage sampling method. The research tool included the academic engagement questionnaire (Reeve, 2013). This questionnaire was taken from two experimental and control groups before and after the implementation of the educational package as a pre-test, post-test and follow-up after 3 months. Statistical analysis in the quantitative section was performed using covariance analysis in SPSS25 software. The results in the qualitative part showed that the brain-compatible learning package based on Caine's theory has a good validity. In quantitative part, the results of the multivariate covariance analysis test showed that the average academic engagement of the group receiving brain-compatible learning training based on Caine's theory was higher than the students in the control group (sig = 0.001). The effect of this educational intervention was stable after three months. Therefore, the educational package of brain -compatible learning based on Cain's theory was effective on the academic engagement's elementary girl students and can be an effective and practical tool in order to create meaningful learning and academic performance of female students.

Academic buoyancy refers to a capacity which can cause students to overcome setbacks, challenges, and difficulties that are part of everyday academic life. One of the goals of researchers is to identifying the factors that have effects on academic buoyancy since this construct has several positive outcomes. The main goal of this research is developing a structural model for academic buoyancy base on motivational factors and mediator roles of grit, mental toughness, and control. We will examine the fitness of conceptual model through partial least squares approach (PLS). The statistical population consisted of all Shahed high school students in Tehran, Iran, and participants were 370 who were selected by multi-stage random sampling. Among the significant findings of this study, we can mention the mediator roles of mental toughness, grit, and academic control as well as the direct effects of motivational factors, grit, mental toughness and control on academic buoyancy. In sum, the revised model of the present study could explain 15% of the variance of academic buoyancy.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of social-emotional cooperative learning and mindfulness training on improving social problem solving skills of students in Zanjan who were studying in the 96-95. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test with an experimental group and control group and a one-month follow-up. The statistical population included all female students in the first grade of high school in the academic year 1395-96. 339 students were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling and completed a short form of social problem solving questionnaire and among them 45 subjects were selected and randomly assigned to the two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group received 12 sessions of social-emotional cooperative learning and Group II received 8 sessions of mindfulness training. The statistical method of Two-way Mixed Design (ANOVA) was used in order to analyze the data. The results indicate that implementation of social-emotional cooperative learning and mindfulness training increased the positive problem attitude scores and reduced the negative problem attitude, the avoidance style, and impulsivity-carelessness style scores but they did not significantly change in rational problem solving style. However, there was no significant difference between the two independent variables. The social-emotional cooperative learning compared with the control group, resulted in a significant decrease in mean, but mindfulness training did not affect it. The follow-up results indicate that their effect had remained over time.

Abstract The Internet has far-reaching effects on various aspects of human life and the extreme use of the Internet is associated with numerous personal and social harms. The present study investigates the mediating role of emotion regulation strategies and psychological distress in the relationship between insecure attachment and problematic internet use. The present study was descriptive-correlational and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study was all students studying in the undergraduate and graduate courses of the Islamic Azad University, Research Sciences, Center and Karaj Branch in the academic year 2019-2020. By cluster sampling method, 397 people were selected as the sample group. Data collection tools included Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, scale for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and Adult Attachment Scale. Data analysis was performed by Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis using LISREL software. The results showed that psychological distress (0.50), maladaptive strategies (0.23), adaptive strategies (-0.21), avoidant attachment (0.11), and ambivalent attachment (0.10) have the highest to the lowest correlation coefficient with harmful use of the Internet (P <0.05). Strategies for regulating emotional distress and distress also mediated the relationship between insecure attachment style and problematic internet use. Accordingly, in the field of designing the necessary measures to reduce the problematic internet use, programs can be developed to improve insecure attachment styles, emotion regulation strategies and psychological distress.

The purpose of this work is to look into the impact of the need for closure and cognition on the degree of working memory in Tehran high school students, with the role of attitudes toward learning and ambiguity tolerance as mediating factors. To this end, 385 subjects consisting of 155 girls and 230 boys were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling to complete the questionnaires on working memory (Nejati, 2013), the need for cognition (Cachiupo, 1996), the need for closure (De Baker & Krausson, 2008), attitude toward learning (Eiken, 1979) and ambiguity tolerance (McLean, 1993). The study was descriptive, and a correlation design was given in light of investigating the relationships between the variables using a causal model of route analysis. The results revealed that the need for cognition has an indirect effect on working memory through the mediation of the attitude to learning and ambiguity tolerance. Furthermore, the need for closure has an indirect influence on working memory by the mediation of attitude toward learning and ambiguity tolerance. Similarly, the need for cognition has a significant effect on working memory, whereas the need for closure has no such impact. Additionally, the need for cognition has a significant effect on attitude toward learning and ambiguity tolerance, whereas the need for closure has no significant effect on attitude toward learning and ambiguity tolerance. The findings were explored in depth in the conclusion section.

Test anxiety is related to academic performance and if sever, it damages performance and leads to academic failure. The homework value as an important factor in academic achievement can affect test anxiety by goal orientation. This research aims at evaluating the direct and indirect effect of homework value through goal orientation on test anxiety. The study is conducted in 2012 on 350 high school students in Kerman city who are selected through multi-stage random clustering method. The participants answered questionnaires of homework value by Pintrich and DeGroot, goal-orientation by Elliot and McGregor and Friedben test anxiety. In order to evaluate the relations between latent variables and the ones measured in the suggested model, structural equations modeling is used. The findings show that the latent variable of homework value has a direct and indirect effect on test anxiety through goal orientation. Also, all regression weights in this model are significant. The results are also indicative of direct effect of goal orientation on test anxiety.

Visual perception is interring predations of the sensuous stimulation, which is received by visual system, and it is one of the essential processes of brain. It plays one of the important roles in acquiring reading ability . A research regarding relationship between dyslexia (reading disability) and deficiency in visual perception among 120 both girls and boys in elementary school (grade 1 &2) by cluster method. For selection of this student a check list from symptoms of child dyslexic has been used. To be sure regarding student's natural intelligence, an intellectual test has been done. Then frostig visual perception test Has carried. This test has another five smaller tests that evaluates: 1) Eye-hand coordination ability, 2) Figure ground perception, 3) Visual constancy, 4) Position in space and 5) Spatial relation. This research revealed that there is a meaningful relation between dyslexia and visual perception deficit. Also this relation in and the skills of figure ground perception and position in space perception whit dyslexia is seen, but there isn't any relation between dyslexia and the skills of eye-hand coordination, visual constancy and spatial relation. Also deficiency in visual perception in girls more than boys causes dyslexia.
