The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between loneliness feeling and students’ attitude to drug. This study was conducted in the form of correlation. 200 students in Semnan University were examined by stratified random sampling and by the use of the measurement standard sampling of loneliness feeling and students’ attitude to drug. In order to analyze data, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and independent test were used. The results showed that there was a positive relation between loneliness feeling and students’ attitude to drug (r 0/35, pk0/001). Also, loneliness feeling and attitude to drug among men are more than those of women. After all, it was suggested that life skill, workshops persist the loneliness feeling and making friend training correctly especially boy student performed.

The present study aims to investigate the mechanism of decision making process from the hot cognition perspective. The effect of anger, as an emotion (with cognitive profile),as well as cognitive styles (need for cognition, structure, and certainty), as a motivational parameter, on analytical decision making process were examined based on Klaczynski’s Dual-Process Model (2004). In this model, metacognitive dispositions are the mediators sitting between predictor variables and decision making. The Actively Open-Minded Thinking Scale was considered as an index of metacognitive dispositions. The research subjects included 233 female and male bachelor students of Shiraz University. The Need for Cognition (Cacioppo, et. al., 1996), the Need for Structure and the Need for Certainty (Thompson et. al., 1992), Anger (Lerner & Keltner, 2000), Cognitive Appraisal (Smith & Ellsworth, 1985), Actively Open-Minded Thinking (Stanovich & West, 2007) and Decision Making (Klaczynski, 2001) Scales were used. Validity and reliability of the scales were confirmed. The results indicated that anger predicted analytical decision making negatively and in direct and indirect (through open-minded thinking) ways. The need for cognition predicted decision-making positively. The need for structure predicted decision making negatively only through Open-Minded Thinking Variable. The need for certainty did not predict decision making. Cognitive appraisal of certainty and self-responsibility/control explained cognitive profile for anger.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the contribution of socio - economic status, cultural capital of family and educational social structure variables in predicting academic engagement and academic achievement between distance education students and traditional education and also studying existing differences between students of these two groups. The research method was correlational. Participants were 700 undergraduate students in the academic year 92-93 which was selected using Morgan schedule and cluster random sampling. Data gathering tools were student's performance score and questionnaire .Pearson correlation, independent t-test and multiple regressions were applied for analyzing of data. The results indicate that although SEM status and cultural capital were effective in predicting academic engagement and academic achievement of each group; however, a great deal of distance educational student assessment was explained by these variables. Regarding traditional students, in addition to essential role of cultural capital of family, authors of this article observed, outstanding role of some other social structure dimensions of education such as teachers and students academic support to each other on traditional students educational outcome. Other results of this research showed considerable difference between distance and traditional students in many variables that were investigated in this research and preference of traditional students on distance students except in cognitive engagements.

The Experienced Curriculum” is one of the curriculums performed in the educational systems on which several different studies have been done. “The Experienced Curriculum” is of different levels whose first one is the hidden curriculum. This curriculum can be affected by different factors which have been categorized into four categories namely, educational, social, and geographical in this study. Despite the plethora of studies done on the experienced curriculum, a few field studies have been done on the effective factors in the curriculum. The present study aims at exploring the effective factors in the hidden curriculum of “Islamic Thoughts” course for B.A. students. The required data have been collected by questionnaire. 210 students have been randomly selected as the statistical sample from among 650 students studying at one of Tehran’s universities in 2010-2011 semesters. The Pearson statistical test has been used to analyze the collected data. The findings of the study demonstrated that all educational, social, and geographical factors and their related subsets have significant relationships with hidden curriculum of “Islamic Thoughts” course, but the results of the total Regression only proved the following significant relationship: educational factors and teacher, content and evaluation variables; social variables and the family media, friends and classmate variables; social variables and study, satisfaction of religious education; and the geographical variables with the residential place variables. The findings also proved that “satisfaction of religious education”, “teachers of the religious course”, “friends and classmates”, “media and religious studies” have the most significant relationships with the hidden curriculum of “Islamic Thoughts” respectively.

One aspect of second language teaching via computerized language learning programs that has received great attention over the past few years is helping vocabulary learning through link technology. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of two types of link (repetitive textual and in-text reference) on vocabulary learning and retention and reading comprehension. The design of this quasi-experimental study was pretest-posttest with two independent groups in which 35 undergraduate students in two experimental groups participated in the study and were asked to read a computerized text. Two different versions of the reading text were developed for the experimental groups involved in the study. In one version of the computerized texts, the repetitive textual links, and in the other, in-text reference links were used. Having read the text, the participants took an immediate vocabulary posttest as well as a reading comprehension test. Three weeks following the exposure, the participants in the two groups were asked to complete a delayed vocabulary posttest in order to measure their retention level of the target words. Data obtained from pre-test and post-tests were analyzed using t test at p<0.05 significance level for two independent groups. The mean score of in-text reference links group in learning vocabulary posttest was 16.11 (SD=2.45), in vocabulary retention posttest 13.66 (SD=1.86) and in reading comprehension was 10.11 (SD=1.41).The mean score of repetitive textual links group in learning vocabulary posttest was 12.06 (SD=2.14), in vocabulary retention posttest 8.29 (SD=1.53) and in reading comprehension was 9.29 (SD=2.02).The result of the study indicated that the participants in the group with in-text reference links outperformed those in the group with repetitive textual links in terms of vocabulary learning and retention; however, no statistical significance in the participants’ reading comprehension level was detected. Based on levels-of-processing theory, processing target words at different levels would lead to a differential rate of learning and retention of those words. Put another way, those target words that are deeply processed would be learned better and retained longer in contrast to those which are only treated at shallow levels of processing

Research indicates that homework generally has positive effects on students’ academic outcomes. Homework is a teacher-initiated method for directing students to study more effectively on their own in their out-of-school time. Not only does homework serve to convey academic knowledge to students, but it may also prompt them to engage in self-initiated and self-directed studying. The purpose of this descriptive-correlational study was to investigate the relationship between academic self-regulation, self-efficacy, and homework among students of high schools of Ahvaz. The sample consisted of 150 students who were selected by multi-stage sampling method from both sexes. All the students responded to academic self-regulation, self-efficacy, and academic homework questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multi regression method. The results indicated that there was a significant and positive relationship between academic self-regulation, self-efficacy, and homework. Stepwise regression analysis showed that academic self-regulation could best be predicted through academic homework and vise versa.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of learning community on social skills and academic achievement of students at Allameh Tabataba'i University in Tehran. Based on the main goal, the method of this study was pre-test, a two-group post-test (for social skills variable) and a two-group post-test (for academic achievement variable). The population of this study was students of Allameh Tabataba'i University Faculty of Psychology of Educational Sciences. Among the statistical population, 14 people were selected as the subjects who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The results of the covariance analysis test for social skills test were significant at 95% confidence level (P <0.05) and showed that the community of learning has an impact on social skills and increases it. The results of t-test showed that there is a significant difference between the level of academic achievement of students in the experimental and control groups, in other words, students who have been trained in the learning community method have had more academic achievement. It is suggested that teachers and educators use this method to improve the level of social skills and academic achievement of students at universities and institutions with community-based learning infrastructure infrastructures.

The present study was carried out in order to investigate the Impact of learning styles and applying semantic-mapping on the high school students’ critical thinking ability and English vocabulary learning improvement. To this end, a sample of 123 female high school students were randomly selected from 4 educational districts of Karaj narrowed down to Farzanegan High school in 1st district using accidental cluster sampling method.The students did the Critical Thinking Questionnaire (Honey, 2004) and Learning Style Questionnaire (O’Brien, 1989) in the pre and post-test steps. They also were administered a general proficiency test of Nelson (A050) for the purpose of homogeneity, and a vocabulary test to ensure their illiteracy of them at the onset of the treatment. In addition, the same vocabulary test was taken as a post-test after 12 sessions of instruction and learning through semantic-mapping, as a vocabulary learning strategy. The data was collected. Based on the statistical analysis, the results showed the learning styles had no statistically significant impact on the students’ critical thinking ability and their vocabulary learning improvement (two-way, and ANOVA analyses) the first and second hypotheses of the study were confirmed. The third and fourth hypotheses were rejected as the results revealed that semantic-mapping had a statistically significant impact on the critical thinking ability and vocabulary learning improvement of the participants (independent T-tests). Then, some pedagogical and practical implications and suggestions for further research as well as limitations of the study are provided.Keywords: Cognitive Learning Styles, semantic-maps, and critical thinking

So, English as a subject has been embedded in curriculum of many formal educational systems. Teaching English in the formal educational system of Iran is started from guidance school and continued until pre-university. Word learning has an important role in foreign language learning process, because most of differences among languages refer to their word domain and many of them as Persian and English have very similarities in grammar domain. Learners to learn words for a long time may use many strategies that rehearsal (or rote memorization) seems to be the most prevalent of them. But, research has shown that this strategy is not so effective. Hence, researchers have examined more effective strategies such as mnemonic devices, for example keyword and mental imagery that effectiveness of them has been proved many times in different countries. The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of these two strategies in learning and retention of meaning of the English words in comparison to rote memorization among Guidance school pupils.
