The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of computer-based educational simulation on problem-solving skills and cognitive ability of students. The research method was quasi-experimental and with a pre-test-posttest design including a control group. The statistical population of this study was all the fourth grade elementary students in Tehran's 2nd district in the academic year of 2016-2017. Sixty of them (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group) were selected as the sample by the available sampling method. The experimental group was trained using the PhET simulation, and the control group was trained with the traditional method in six sessions, each lasting an hour. The pre-test-posttests of the two groups were performed using a questionnaire. The research tools were the Heppner&Peterson’s (1982) and Nejati’s (2013) cognitive ability questionnaires. Analysis of the research data was performed with the Multivariate Covariance Analysis. The research findings showed that after controlling the effects of the pre-test, there was a significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups in the problem solving variable and its components (self-confidence in problem solving, proximity-avoidance style, and personal control, and the cognitive ability variable and its components (memory, inhibitory control and selective attention, decision making, sustain attention, social cognition and cognitive flexibility). However, there was no significant difference in the planning component between the two groups. The results of the research showed that the computer-based educational simulation had an effect on the problem-solving skills and cognitive ability of students and increased the problem-solving skills and cognitive ability of students.

Abstract Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C-SF). The statistical population of this study was all students of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades of Ardabil city. From this population, 450 students were selected by Multistage cluster sampling and participated in this study. the Greek Big Five Questionnaire for Children (GBFQ-C-SF) (Markos and Kokkinos, 2017) and Juvenile Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Eysenck and Eysenck, 1975) were used to collect data. For analyzing data, Cronbach’s alpha, convergent reliability, Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used. Result showed this questionnaire has a good validity (Cronbach’ s Alpha for Conscientiousness 0/75, Intellect/Openness 0/87, Agreeableness 0/72, Emotional Instability 0/88 and Energy/Extraversion 0/83). Result of Exploratory factor analysis showed that five factor structure of the questionnaire (Conscientiousness, Intellect/Openness, Agreeableness, Emotional Instability and Energy/Extraversion) could explain 66/77 percent of total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis results shown that this scale has good fitness (CFI=0/96, TLI=0/95, RFI=0/94 and RMSEA=0/057). Therefore, it can be concluded that this questionnaire is an appropriate tool for assessing the five-factor personality model in children and adolescents.

Content intended to train students in the life skills program was cognitive skills, how to record maintenance information, wise use of resources, self-esteem, resiliency, problem solving thinking. The data were analyzed by SPSS-19 software, using analysis of covariance. The results showed that life skills training can affect students’ academic self-efficacy. Because these skills increase their knowledge of learning how to be better able to remember information and therefore have less forgetfulness.

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.
