The purpose of this study was to identify neglected civic skills in Iran’s primary schools curriculum from the perspective of khomein’s experts and teachers.This study was done into descriptive survey. khomein’s primary school teachers and educational experts formed the study sample (totally 368 people, 364 teachers and 4educatinal experts of elementary schools).The sample contained all the educational experts and 196 teachers. In order to expert sampling, census method was used and for teachers the cluster random sampling was used. The measuring tool of researcher’s questionnaire contained 39 closed items that consist of individual,social,cultural,economical and political dimension of citizenship education.The credibility of questionnaire was estimated based on cronbach’s alpha %77 and content validity and formal validity was used for determining the validity of study toolThe analysis of data was done with descriptive statistics (percent,average,standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Loan test and sampling T Tak test). Findings showed that none of the civic skill’s dimensions was reflected favourably in elementary school book. However all of the skills are in the same degree of attention, the individual and political dimensions have respectively less emphasis and cultural and social dimensions have relatively more consideration in preparation of elementary school books. as well as, the findings showed that the less attention is in regard with the following civic skills: In the field of social skills understanding kinship relationship and ability to participate in society’’, in connection with individual skills ’’ways to develop good emotions and control emotions’’, in connection with cultural skills the ability to use information and communication technologyin basic level’’, in connection with economical skills ‘’being familiar with the production process , distribution and consumption of some goods’’, and in connection with the civic political skills respect to society servers , respect to justice and right-mined people and recognition individual right. According to the findings of this study, in regard to the civic skills, review in educational books is necessary.

This quasi-experimental research was done to consider the effect of electrical educational content based on each interactive gamut intelligences (interpersonal, verbal, and kinesthetic) on learning in compound education. 60 female students of third grade in computer were selected by multi step cluster and were put in 2 experimental and control groups. In order to consider equality between two groups, their pervious term mean and the profiles of students multiple intelligences were measured by Macenzy questionnaire with 80 question. Reliability of these instruments was calculated 0.738 by Cranach alpha. Two groups were educated in compound method. In experimental group an electrical content based on multiple intelligences was used. The same pretest and posttest were done before and after the education. Data analysis has done by Chi-squared, independent t test, and multi-variable variance analysis on the increased grade and by using Spss19.Although learning difference of two groups was meaningful in the method on the basis of verbal intelligence, it wasn’t meaningful in the methods on the basis of interpersonal and kinesthetic intelligences (p˂0.05).

The critical investigation of textbooks gave a person this ability to notice the hidden points more and better and recognize the author’s real meaning and purpose. The general purpose of this research was to consider and analyze discourse components of the sixth grade literature book on the basis of the analysis pattern of critical discourse. The type of this descriptive research was quantitative. The population was the sixth grade literature book in 2012-2013 and the sample is the same population on the basis of criterion sampling. The books content was analyzed by using Van loon pattern. The results showed the expression components were pictured more than omission components and hidden expression. Therefore the authors used poems and stories in order to affect more because the sixth grade literature books want to influence on children through poems, parables, learning stories.

The recent study was done with the purpose of the effect of (active, inactive) training and multi-sensory method on reminding and maintaining the strategies in the children with mental special needs. The population of this Quasi-experimental study is included 200 fourth-grade male students in Ahvaz special schools which 60 students were selected in three experimental groups and a control group by using the cluster random sampling and simple random sampling. The research instruments were picture cards test with Yousefi Loya (1999) and Borkowski’s (1983) research pattern. The educational intervention was done in the experimental groups during twelve sessions. The data analyzing was done by using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), and Tukey's HSD Test, and also harmonic mean test. The findings showed that active, inactive cognitive strategies and the active- multi sensory method improved reminding in children with mental special needs and was stable after a week in three experimental groups to compare with control group. But in comparing experimental groups, there was no difference between active and active- multi sensory method in remaining test, however there was a meaningful difference between active- multi sensory and inactive groups. Also no differences were observed between three groups in maintaining test.

The purpose of this research was to Structural equation modeling of relationship between self-directed learning, learning styles and learning strategies with academic achievement of English language in public pre-university schools in Isfahan. This descriptive research was causal-correlation. 370 students were selected by stratified random sampling (168 boys and 202 girls). The research instruments were self- directed learning, learning styles, and learning strategies questionnaires. By Spss 18, correlation matrix was used to analyze data, and AMOS was used to determine the goodness-of fit of causal model. The results showed that there is a relationship between learning styles, learning strategies and educational achievement. The designed model in the research was goodness-of fit based on structural equation models. The indicators were obtained: CFI= 0.937, PCFI =0.711, and RMSEA=0.067. They showed that the model had goodness-of fit. The findings of the structural equation model in research showed self-directed learning and learning styles affected directly and indirectly on the educational achievement but learning strategy effected directly on educational achievement. Learning strategies have the most influence on the educational achievement.

The purpose of this research was to recognize the effect of professional partnership Care-oriented teaching model on nursing students’ psychomotor clinical competencies in teaching training credits on Jondi Shapoor medical university in 7th - semester nursing students in Ahvaz.

The control group was taught traditionally and the experimental group was taught by using professional partnership Care-oriented teaching model, at the end of the sessions they were tested by a posttest. The instrument was a research-made questionnaire of “ Investigating the nursing students’ clinical competency in the intensive care unit in 2013”.The validity of this research was confirmed by a group of university professors and clinical instructors and its reliability was calculated 0.93 by Cranach alpha. To analyze data, the descriptive statistics were used (mean, and standard deviation) and also SPSS 22 and the non-parametric test of Mann-Whitney were used in the inferential statistics. Training with professional partnership Care-oriented teaching model on nursing students’ Psychomotor clinical competencies was meaningful (P˂0.001, test statistics= -5.307) and it increased nursing students’ clinical competency in psychomotor domain.

The main purpose of this research was Validity of scale attitude toward science among high school students in Isfahan. The population included all the second grade science and math students in Isfahan high school in 2010-2011. 300 students were selected by random stratified sampling. The research method was descriptive- survey and used instruments in this research were the Persian translation of scale attitude toward science. Data was analyzed by SPSS 16. The reliability coefficient of Cranach alpha was 84% . Factor analysis results of the measurement questions showed more than 15/8% of total marks variance. After the factors rotation, five factors were recognized: Science attraction, class/ teacher, self- motivated efforts, anxiety toward science, family pattern. Therefore it showed the scale were multi dimensions and they have reliability and validity for scale attitude toward science. Also the test results of the multivariable variance analysis showed that there aren’t any meaningful differences between students’ sex and their attitude towards science but there is a meaningful difference in the third factor(the motivation efforts) and the girls’ students have a higher mean towards boys’ students.

The recent research was done to consider oppertunities and threats, strengths and weaknesses of using smart innovations (case study: Isfahan highschool teachers). The population included all the highschool teachers in fifth regions (N= 2608) in 2010-2011. 355 people were selected by using Morgan table and relative stratifid sampling.The used instruments were included the interview and demographic questionnaire. the findings was analyzed by using Spss. The findings showed that when new thechnology combined with teaching process, teaching could be more effective and satisfying.

The purpose of recent research was to compare the effect of cooperative learning patterns on learner’s self- efficiency in “Religion and life” of the trade school in second grade students. The statistics of this quasi-empirical research were trade schools’ pupils of Ardebil second region. A trade school was selected by multi-steps cluster random sampling and then two experimental groups and one control group was selected. There were 76 participants in this research: 27participants in the group research, 26 participants in jigsaw, and 23 participants in lecturer. The data instruments were the general self- efficiency test “sherer, 1987”. The validity of this research was shown by the confirmed factorial analysis and its validity was obtained 0.74 by Cranach alpha. Data analysis was done in two descriptive and inference statistics levels by Spss. MONOVA test results showed that the group research method and Jigsaw effectively increased pupils’ self -efficiency in comparison with the traditional education. Also LSD showed this method has a meaningful effect on self- efficiency and its related measures in comparison with the lecturer method.

The purpose of present research was to determine the influence of effective feedback on students’ motivation in learning. The kind of this practical and descriptive-survey research was correlation and field study. The population of this research included 4435 Ahvaz Jahad daneshgahi students in 2012-2013. 153 students were selected by sample size formula and sampling was done by srtarified random method. The descriptive statistical indicators (mean, standard division, frequency, and percentage) were used to describe data, and the structural equation modeling was used to test the research theory. By using CMIN/DF, RMSEA, AGFI, NNFI (TLI), NFI,CFI, and IFI factors, the model test results showed that the model had a suitable goodness-of fit with data. The results showed that three characteristics have effect on the students’ motivation in learning from the students’ perspective: the feedback type, feedback time and feedback structure, however the time had the most effect. Also only time has effected on health agents of Learning and structure and type of feedback has no effect on health agents of Learning.

The recent research was considered the effect of inter-cultural background knowledge on Iranian learner's reading skills. The population included all the girls’ students (5000 students) in Sabzevar English Institutes. By using simple probability sampling 60 girls’ students selected by Morgan’s random numbers. The research instruments included Nelson placement pretest (Flower and Coe, 1976), five reading texts about cultural topics to do during the experiment term and a research- made reading posttest as a main posttest. The posttest reliability was determined 82% by Cranach alpha and its validity was confirmed by English teaching professors. Independent T test and MANOVA variance analysis were used by using SPSS 19. The research results showed that the meaningful effect of inter-cultural background knowledge ( t(58)= -8.511) p˂0.08) in the students’ reading. Knowing about some sub-cultures in English language countries like etiquette and keeping pet have a meaningful effect on reading texts related to sub- cultures and finally the inter-cultural background knowledge from the English languages holidays was considered in the next level.

The purpose of this research was to consider the effect of the teacher’s oral and written feedback on self- regulated learning and academic achievement in math class in the third grade students of secondary school in 2013-2014. This quasi-experimental research was done by using pre-test and post- test with control group. Therefore three classes were selected by the cluster sampling method that randomly divided in two experimental groups and one control group. The using instruments were a self- regulated learning questionnaire and a teacher-made educational achievement test. Also an educational package which was on the basis of eleven feedback principles was provided to perform the oral and written feedback. The experimental groups were received the teacher oral and written feedback for 15 sessions and the control group were thought by as usual with no feedback. The findings of the data analysis showed that there was a meaningful difference after showing feedback in the self- regulated learning and educational achievement of the experimental group students. Although no meaningful differences were observed between oral and written feedback, the comparison of two means showed that the written feedback was more effective than the oral feedback. Therefore, showing the effective and suitable feedback on the basis of the principles promoted the self- regulated learning and educational achievement in math.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship situation between technical and vocational training and labor market and explaining an appropriat mechanism for communicating with working environment in Iran.

The reliability of thinking styles questionnaire was 0.96 by using Cronbach alpha coefficient and the participant in management was 0.94. The kind of this descriptive research was survey methodology. The research data was analyzed by using ANOVA and LSD and Spss 19. The results showed that the participation dimensions in management were different in order to different kinds of thinking styles and the anarchism, oligarchy, executive, liberal, legal thinking styles had the most mean.

The purpose of recent article was to consider the critical thinking situation between graduate students. The population of this descriptive-survey research included 900 MA. graduate students in Shahid Chamran University in Ahvaz (2012-2013) that have passed their courses. 172 students were selected as a sample by random stratified sampling (Morgan sampling chart). The research instruments were California questionnaire of form B and the data analysis method included two parts: descriptive and inference statistics. The independent t test method and one-way variance analysis were used in the inference statistics by using SPSS 19. The research findings showed that the critical thinking skills between students were low. The evaluation skill mean in the educational science and psychology group and analysis skill and inference skill mean in the technical and engineering group were higher than other groups. The low level skills of the critical thinking in graduate students showed that higher education did not act well in curriculum and educational methods and teaching for training critic and thoughtful students. If higher education wants to train the people with careful, identical, rational, critical mind, it should revise its educational domain

The purpose of this study was to compare internet skills and professional skills of Technical and theoretical science teachers in Mazandaran high schools.
