The present paper seeks to review the antecedents of academic engagement on the basis of Wigfield- Eccles expectancy- value theory. Accordingly, a model was designed in which social culture was considered as exogenous variable, student's perception of learning environment, attribution style, emotional memory, academic self-concept, expectation of success, and task value as moderator variables, and academic engagement as the consequence. To examine the model, a sample including 710 high school students in grade two and three in the courses of experimental sciences and mathematics in Qom high schools were selected through random sampling. All of them completed the questionnaires of student's interaction with teacher, peers, and parents, student's perception of learning environment, attribution styles, academic self-concept, emotional memory, expectancy- value, and academic engagement. The internal relations of variables were examined by structural equations model and EQS6.1 software. The findings show that social culture has a direct structural effect on student's perception of learning environment and attribution style, and a positive structural effect on expectation of success and task value through self-concept and emotional memory. Self-concept and emotional memory has also positive structural effect on academic engagement through task value. Only structural effect of self-concept on academic management through expectation of success is not significant. The expectancy-value theory is a suitable model for students' academic engagement. The role and contribution of motivational beliefs and cognitive processes are of importance in explaining academic engagement and the structure of their internal relations.

This study aims at investigating the effect of the type of instructional language on students’ intrinsic motivation and motor learning. Forty-eight female students of Farhangian University were randomly divided into three instructional language groups (autonomy supportive, controlling, and neutral). All groups watched a silent clip about darts throwing. Then, they performed 21 throws (pre-test) and subsequently, each group watched a specific clip prepared for them. The instructions in the second clip were prepared in such a way as to provide identical technical information but manifesting different degrees of choice or control in performing the task. Then, each group performed 51 throws as their post-test. On the second day, all groups performed 21 throws (retention test). All participants completed the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory by McAuley et al. (1991) after the three tests. The results of the repeated measures (ANOVA) showed that the instructional language in the autonomy supportive group facilitated learning significantly through its effect on intrinsic motivation this group.

The purpose of this study was testing and comparing a model of causal relationships of family communication patterns (conversation and conformity), metacognition and critical thinking disposition, mediated by epistemic beliefs of male and female students in various high school grades in Ahvaz. The sample consisted of 808 high school students from Ahvaz who were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. The five questionnaires that have been used for collecting data were two subscales of Revised Version of Family Communication Patterns (RFCP), Metacognition Awareness Inventory, (MAI), Epistememic Beliefs Inventory (EBI) and Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTD). Fitness indices of the proposed model were examined through structural equation modeling (SEM) method, using SPSS-21 and AMOS-21 softwares. The relationships of conversation, metacognition, and epistemic beliefs with critical thinking disposition were positive and significant, but the relationship of conformity with critical thinking disposition was significant and negative. The model fit indices showed that the model fitted the data. The indirect paths were also tested using the bootstrap procedure of Preacher and Hayes macro program for mediation. The results indicated that all of the indirect hypotheses have been confirmed. Also, the multi-group analysis method was used to compare the models of various high school grade levels (3rd grade of the first part of high school and 3rd grade of the second part of high school). Comparing The results of both groups showed that in the two high school grade levels three paths were significantly different.

This study investigated the antecedents and outcomes of goal orientation in a causal model in which student-teacher interaction and self-efficacy were considered as endogenous variables, goal orientation as the mediating variable and academic buoyancy as the exogenous variable. Participants were 516 high school students (291 boys and 225 girls) in Kazeroun who completed Academic Buoyancy Questionnaire (Hosseinchari & Dehghani, 1391), Goal Orientation Scale (Elliot & Mcgregor, 2001), Teacher-Students Interaction Questionnaire (Wubbles, Creton, Levy & Hooymayer, 1993), and Self-efficacy Scale (Moris, 2001). Descriptive statistical methods and path analysis were used to test the model. Results revealed that emotional and social self-efficacy dimensions of self-efficacy predicted academic buoyancy both directly and indirectly, through mastery approach goal orientation. However, academic self-efficacy only predicted academic buoyancy through mastery approach goal orientation. None of the teacher-student interaction dimensions predicted academic buoyancy directly. Mastery-avoidance goal orientation mediated the relationship between control and orientation dimensions of teacher-student interaction and academic buoyancy. After all, the research findings contributed theoretical knowledge, academic buoyancy and provide some for implications promoting students’ academic buoyancy skill more implications and justificationson of the results discussed in the final chapter.

The purpose of present research, survey of the horizons and challenges of the researcher teacher program as action research on the Researcher teachers. To understand the lived experiences of the researcher teachers the methodology of interpretive expressions has been used. The research sample consisted of 20 people of the teachers participating in the researcher teacher program and who completed at least action research period has been completed and their reports have been selected. The research questions were: What are the horizons of action research on teachers' scholars? What are the bottlenecks of action research on teachers' scholars? Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and purposeful observations transcribed using the Van-Manen method. the most important horizons of action research on teachers' scholars include closing the distance between the viewpoints and the practice, expansion of participation and exchange of information and experiences, avoidance of factorization and scientific responsiveness to challenges, production of indigenous and applied knowledge, self-esteem development and self-esteem and improving teaching quality. The most important bottlenecks include the expansion of scientific intolerance, the lack of motivation and the need for research, the lack of research and research culture, the low quality of training courses and the lack of teacher dominance, lack of access to resources and facilities, lack of positive attitudes among authorities and Teachers were reluctant to take action and low accuracy in reporting judgments. Ultimately, short and long term solutions by participants were proposed for more effective of the researcher teacher program and eliminating bottlenecks.

Adolescents who lack family support grow up with a sense of insecurity, fear, and anxiety. According to the research, structural problems of primary family and inappropriate socioenvironmental factors may cause psychological traits in bad-caretaker girls. Therefore, psychological flexibility and perception of competence as a framework for understanding psychopathology and mental health are proposed. Accordingly, the present study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of self-compassion training on the perceived competence and psychological flexibility of the bad-caretaker girls. The research design was quasi-experimental based on pre-test and post-test with control and experimental groups. For this purpose, 24 girls of Mehr Boarding Center were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into two control and experimental groups. Participants completed the perceived competence, Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire, Acceptance and Mindfulness before and after training. The training was conducted in eight weekly sessions for 2.5 hours. The results of this study by covariance analysis showed that self-compassionate training with 95% confidence leads to increased perceived competence (cognitive 57%, social 60% and physical 44%) and psychological flexibility (avoidance and fusion -57% and acceptance and mindfulness 71%) in the training group. According to the results, self-compassionate training can be used as an effective method to increase the perceived competence and psychological flexibility in the bad-caretaker girls.

The study of the transformation of personal epistemology in young children, as a research vacuum, has attracted the attention of specialists in recent years. The results of studies show that the transformation of beliefs in childhood can be studied in conjunction with the theory of mind.the purpose of this study was to investigate the evolution of beliefs in relation to the theory of mind and executive function in preschool children. The research method is cross-sectional. To this end, 110 children aged 6 years old were selected by available sampling method from preschools in Tehran For each child, two ideas of false beliefs (Weimer and Perner, 1983; Perner, Lickman, and Wimmer, 1987),. Two personal epistemology assignments (Bohr and Huffer, 2002) and the Wisconsin Card Classification test were considered Findings: There is a significant positive relationship between personal epistemology, theory of mind and executive function. Also, the results of regression analysis showed that personal epistemology is predictable through the theory of mind and executive functions Accordingly, in the first step, approximately 56% of the variance of personal epistemology was explained through the theory of mind.. In the second step, theory of mind and executive functions explained %73 of the variance in personal epistemology. Therefore, the coefficient of determination increased from %56 to %73 as the variable entered executive functions into the analysis

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between mindfulness, internal and external academic motivation by mediated time perspective in Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz’s Students. The statistical population were all undergraduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. The sample consisted of 300 students who were studying in the academic year of 96-95. Samples were selected by simple random sampling. The Zimbardo and Boyd Time Perspective Questionnaire (1999), the Mindfulness Questionnaire (Bauer et al., 2006) and Hartre's Educational Motivation Questionnaire (1980) were used to measure the variables. The results of the path analysis showed that the mindfulness and future time were involved in predicting external and internal academic motivation, and the present fatalistic was only reciprocally related to external motivation. Results were discussed with respect to theories of motivation, mindfulness and time perspective.
Mindfulness directly affects the internal and external motivation and helps improve motivation by improving mindfulness. Accordingly, it is difficult to distinguish relations with the time orientation due to the positive relationships between the two types of internal and external motivation. On the other hand, the prospect of future time orientation and focusing on increasing each motive is appropriate. But in order to improve external motivation, the present fatalistic time orientation must be reduced. In sum, the best prospect of time orientation to improving motivation is future time orientation.

چکیده: هدف از مقاله حاضر بررسی شیوه های ارزشیابی از آموخته های دانشجویان در دوران کرونا: چالش ها و راهکارها با تاکید بر عدالت ارزشیابی بود. به منظور نیل به هدف پژوهش از روش تحقیق کیفی و به منظور تحلیل اطلاعات گردآوری شده از تحلیل محتوا استفاده شد. شرکت‌کنندگان پژوهش را "صاحبنظران" تشکیل دادند که با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند و نمونه گیری گلوله برفی انتخاب شدند. جمع آوری اطلاعات با روش مصاحبه نیمه ساختار یافته بود. علاوه بر آن به منظور جمع آوری اطلاعات از سایر منابع، نظرات دانشجویان کارشناسی، کارشناسی ارشد و دکتری با استفاده از نمونه گیری در دسترس و از طریق پرسشنامه باز پاسخ مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. در کل نظرات 14 صاحبنظر و 66 دانشجو مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد مهمترین شیوه های ارزشیابی از آموخته های دانشجویان در دوران شیوع ویروس کرونا (آموزش مجازی) عبارتند از امتحان حضوری (در صورت مجوز مبادی ذیربط)، امتحان کتبی مجازی، امتحان شفاهی مجازی، پرسش و پاسخ شفاهی، ارائه های مجازی، کارپوشه الکترونیکی و ارزشیابی چندگانه (تلفیقی). در این مقاله چالش ها و مزایای هر کدام از روش های ذکر شده بررسی و راهکارهای لازم برای کاهش پیامدهای منفی هر کدام از روش ها ارائه شد. با توجه به نظرات پاسخگویان، بسنده کردن به یک روش ارزشیابی، اعتبار ارزشیابی را کاهش می دهد و لذا لازم است متناسب با محتوا و اهداف از روش های چندگانه (تلفیقی) برای ارزشیابی آموخته های فراگیران استفاده کرد.

The aim of this study is to provide a suitable model for examining the challenges and opportunities of the internal and external environment of the country's educational system ahead to counter the pandemic of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) or any other national and global crisis. Because if educational system fails to formulate its plans in terms of corona and post- corona based on a model and strategic framework, it will not be able to manage and go through the difficult period. Although the Corona Crisis is a global challenge and dilemma, it is necessary to plan in our geographical area based on a strategic model so that we can have a successful futurology while crossing through the crisis. Based on this, the researcher tries to use his experiences in strategic planning and existing resources and studies, to propose a" strategic radar model" to overcome the challenges posed by the corona virus pandemic or similar national and global crises in the field of education and training. This model allows the organization and the system to avoid non-scientific, non-systematic and daily actions and to ensure maximum quality of the program and the approach it has taken.

This research was carried out through descriptive correlational method and the statistical population of this study was 12215 students of Bu-Ali Sinai University. A sample of 300 students was selected. Using cluster sampling method, the clustering of the community based on the college and then its classification based on gender and gender selection were done. The required data were collected using Hartre's Educational Motivation Questionnaire (1981), Jones and Rudolt's academic Self-handicapping (1982), Mohseni's educational satisfaction (2010), and Frasat’s attitude toward academic Cheating (1392). Using multiple linear regression Simultaneously analyzed.The results of the analyzes showed that the variables considered including educational satisfaction and academic motivation and Self-handicapping were in general 15% related to the student's tendency toward academic Cheating (p ) Additionally, academic self-sufficiency alone can predict 39% of the students' academic motivation and 17% of the student's attitudes toward academic Cheating (p = 0.01).Based on these findings, if we want to reduce the amount of counterfeit students' behavior, we have to take steps to increase the student's academic motivation; as Self-handicapping of students decreases, the probability of their tendency toward academic Cheating Will also decrease.

Emotional impairment are an obvious feature of most autistic people. The inability to mind reading is the sum of problems in understanding own and others' moods and emotions, as well as a defect in emotional functioning. The aim of this study was to design emotional reading training to improve the skills of diagnosing, interpreting and applying the emotional states of high-function autistic children. Method: The present study is experimental type, with pre-test, post-test design, and follow-up with control group. The statistical population of this study includes all students with autism, high function, centers, especially autism in Tehran. Of the total target population, 16 high-performance autistic boys who had the criteria to enter the experiment were selected as available samples and randomly assigned to two experimental (8) and control (8) groups. The mind-reading training program was implemented in 14 consecutive training sessions at the April 2 Rehabilitation Center for the experimental group. The computer excitability test was used to assess emotional ability, and the data collected were analyzed using analysis of variance and repeated measurements. Findings: The results showed that the mind-reading training program significantly improved and enhanced emotional functions in the experimental group. Conclusion: Due to the effectiveness of the mind reading program on the emotional functions of autistic people, it is recommended as an intervention method for use in autism rehabilitation centers.

The aim of this research is to assess the model of academic burnout based on social problem-solving skills, psychological capital, academic conscience, and seeking academic help as well as determine the proposed theoretical model fit with the real data. This study is a descriptive-correlational research with an emphasis on possible causal relationships based on structural equation modeling. The population included senior high school students studying science in their fourth year in the first district of Ardabil during 2016-2017 school year. We used proportional stratified random sampling. The sample size was determined to be 291 participants using Morgan Table. The instruments included “Salmela-Aro and Naatanen’s Academic Burnout Questionnaire”, “D'Zurilla and Nezu’s Social Problem-solving Skills Inventory”, “Luthans’s Psychological Capital Questionnaire”, “Ilroy and Bunting’s Academic Conscience Questionnaire” and “Ryan and Pintrich’s Academic Help-Seeking Scale”. The results consistent with the hypotheses showed that adaptive social problem-solving skills had negative effect on academic burnout. Maladaptive social problem-solving skills and psychological capital had positive effect on academic burnout. In addition, the negative effect of seeking academic help as a mediator in the relationship between adaptive social problem-solving skills and academic burnout was confirmed. Furthermore, the positive effect of seeking academic help as a mediator in the relationship between maladaptive social problem-solving skills and academic burnout was confirmed. Academic conscience, as the mediator between psychological capital and academic burnout, was found to have an indirect and negative effect. And finally, the model with the experimental data from the study has a good fit.

This research intends to recognize components and scope of apprenticeship Educational Model based on cognitive Student-Teacher theory in order to perform apprenticeship courses in Farhangian University. The research method is a mixed method from exploring plan type. Statistical society included experts in Farhangian University and, written and electronic documents and resources. In qualitative step, written and electronic documents were elected by purposive sampling plus 12 experts from Farhangian University. In quantities step, 30 experts were elected from Farhangian University and Allameh Tabataba'i University. Data collection in qualitative step was performed by semi-structured interview and content analysis from domestic and foreign databases and documents and in qualitative step it was done through a self-administered questionnaire. Analysis of obtained data from qualitative interview was done by using an inductive content analysis and it was performed in quantity step by inferential and descriptive statistical methods. Results of the research led in recognition and selecting six main components which are mental modeling, scaffolding, and interaction, creating contemplative situation, professional reflection and discovery. Results of the research show that validity of apprenticeship educational model is high and in desirable level in experts’ viewpoint.

استفاده از چندرسانه ای های آموزشی و دیگر تجارب یادگیری، به یادگیری هرچه بهتر و عمیق تر می انجامد. یکی از انواع یادگیری، یادگیری مفاهیم و یکی از عوامل مؤثر بر یادگیری مفاهیم، مثال است. این پژوهش با هدف بررسی ترتیب ارائه مثال و تعمیم در یادگیری مفاهیم از طریق چندرسانه ای های آموزشی شکل گرفت. فرضیه های پژوهش به این نکته اشاره داشت که بین یادگیری و یادداری دانش آموزانی که به آنها ابتدا تعمیم و سپس مثال داده می شود، با آنهایی که ابتدا مثال و سپس تعمیم دریافت می کنند، تفاوت معناداری وجود ندارد. برای بررسی سؤالات، ابتدا فهرستی از مدارس ابتدایی پسرانه شهر دلیجان تهیه شد و به صورت تصادفی یکی از مدارس انتخاب گردید و سپس از میان دانش آموزان آن مدرسه ۳۲ نفر به صورت تصادفی و در دو گروه انتخاب شد و با توجه به دو ابزار اصلی پژوهش یعنی چندرسانه ای آموزشی و آزمون سنجش میزان توانایی شناختی دانش آموزان کار پژوهشی انجام گرفت. پیش از آموزش و پس از آن به دانش آموزان سؤالاتی داده شد. مجدداً دو هفته پس از اجرای آموزش به دانش آموزان، سؤالاتی داده شد تا میزان یادگیری و یادداری آنان مورد بررسی و مقایسه قرار گیرد. با استفاده از آزمون t برای دو گروه مستقل، داده ها مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که بین دو گروه در یادگیری مفاهیم تفاوت معناداری وجود ندارد، ولی تفاوت بین میانگین دو گروه در پایداری مفاهیم در سطح اطمینان معنادار است. با استفاده از نتایج این پژوهش می توان توصیه کرد چنانچه هدف از آموزش ماندگاری آموخته ها برای مدت طولانی در ذهن یادگیرنده است، از روش مثالی برای آموزش مفاهیم استفاده شود؛ یعنی ابتدا مثال و سپس تعمیم ارائه گردد.
