The real goal of this research is providing a model for measuring of effective factors on learner’s satisfaction rate in any electronic learning basis at universities equipped with far distance educational system and/or virtual systems established at Tehran City in human sciences groups. Research method is a correlation type and based upon measuring form. Statistical population of this thesis includes Payame Noor University, Tarbiat Modarres Tehran, Shahid Beheshti and Science & Industry of Iran University. Statistical population includes 3039 university students at electronic learning courses. We used random sampling method in this research. About 385 persons were selected randomly from among all students in electronic learning courses. Data collection tool was a questionnaire with Cronbach alpha equal to 0.98. All data were measured by the use of statistical analysis resulted from a questionnaire and by the help of LISREL software. Research proposed model was tested by the use of model making method of structured equations. According to the results, there is a powerful and significant relation among content, technology, teacher, quality (technical, educational, content & information, services), environment and satisfaction in electronic base. Furthermore and according to the regression standardized coefficients (process analysis coefficients) it is obvious that environmental factors have the highest grade, information quality has second grade and educational quality has third grade, technical quality has fourth grade, content has fifth grade, professor has sixth grade, services quality has seventh grade and technology has eight grade of importance accordingly.

Evaluation is one of the important pillars of education and an integral part of it. The education process is organized and interconnected that all components are working to achieve a certain goal. This paper aims to identify the evaluation process from the perspective of the academic achievement of students, parents and educators have been trying to answer this question: is there significant difference between the views of the students, parents and teachers to the evaluation? This study used a descriptive survey research. Field data collection methods and instruments used to collect data was researcher made questionnaire. The main results of this study can be significant differences between the views of students, parents and teachers at optimum performance and efficiency evaluation of curriculum, teaching-learning process, learners’ evaluation of the status of natural and real life, learners’ mental health and hygiene and adaptation of evaluation system of Iran with assessment and evaluate standard system.

Rapid development of E-learning in Iranian higher education institute is much more salient than pre university level. Nevertheless high dropout rate is common concern among Iranian e-learning systems and others. Because of complexity of the dropout phenomena, this study is trying, to identify predictors of student success in e-learning. The data from 1011 e-learner at the IUST e-learning center were analyzed quantitatively. Demographics, Academic background, selection type and student location as predictor variables were entered in Linear Regression. Finding revealed that demographic variable (gender, Age, marital status) can predict %17.5 variance of student GPA in e-learning, further more Academic background can predict %14 variance. In contrast two variables include selection type and student location can predict 24% variance of student GPA, respectively. The result of independent T test revealed the GPA of student who are selected through centralized entrance exam were significantly less than students who are selected through university entrance exam(p=./…, t=5.597, df=970). At the end, to improve the success rate of e-learner in Iranian higher education some Conclusions and recommendations are presented.

This research was implemented with aim to determine the effectiveness of philosophy for children program with research community style in emotional intelligence of high school children. For this purpose, one of the high schools from area 2 of education organization in Tehran, was selected. Current research method was the Quasi- Experimental version of pre-test–post-test with control group. After substitution of students in test and control groups, Bar-On’s emotional intelligence questionnaire was completed to survey the effectiveness of program in pre- and post-tests. Control group was kept away from the administration process during research community and for the test group, 1.5 hour weekly sessions were held in 16 weeks. The group was held in research community style and Story of Harry Stottlemeier’s Discovery was used as the dialog stimulus. Data were analyzed using one variable covariance. Data processing revealed that all amounts of 5 emotional intelligence components (after adjustments of pre-test effect), were increased significantly, after independent variable administration. Based on this finding and with respect to the point that students being in a research community could result in directing them to scrutiny and effort for self-assessment and self-evaluation in thinking and emotional skills, we suggest the education of philosophy in children in schools.

Today we are in need of a manpower which has the required skills of the present age. Research This research aims at examining the effect of three teaching methods; Research-based (modified version of Samera’i method), Training-research Based, and Training-based on the reinforcement of personal, educational, and social skills of female students of al-Hawzat ul-‘ilmiyyah. The research samples were randomly selected and interviewed. This research looked at three questions: 1. Is there a significant difference in the individual skills of the students in the three teaching methods? 2. Is there a significant difference in the educational skills of the students in the three teaching methods? 3. Is there a significant difference in the social skills of the students in the three teaching methods? The researcher used case study, descriptive/survey techniques or researcher-made questionnaire and library study in this study. SPSS was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that Research-based method is more efficient compared to the other two methods and is suitable for training the manpower of the present age.

This study aimed to survey the relationship between cognitive entry behavior, learning strategies and self-regulation and mathematics course academic achievement. This research has been done by correlation methods of research. Statistical society in this study includes all the female students of Borazjan High school Grade One in Bushehr province, those who have studied in 89-90 educational year. The sample has been chosen by getting use of random clustering method. The number of this selected sample is 104. The Tools that have been used in this research are as follows; High school Grade One mathematics test, the reliability coefficient of which was computed by Cronbach Alpha equation and was equal to %952. Cognitive entry behaviors relation, learning strategies, self-regulation and mathematics academic achievement have been computed by multi-varieties regression analysis and correlation way. The results showed that there is a meaningful relationship between cognitive entry behaviors factor and mathematics achievement. Moreover, there is a meaningful relationship between learning methods and mathematics achievement. There is a meaning full relationship between self-regulation and mathematics achievement. As a result there is a relationship between learning strategies and cognitive entry behaviors self-regulation with mathematics achievement.

Purpose of this research is the impact of working memory computer assisted program on executive functions and mathematic performance improvement in students with mathematics disorders. In this project we have tested the feasibility of working memory training in students with mathematics disorders. Method of this research is quasi experiment. Sample these research involved 20 students with and without mathematics disorder in truth, fourth and fifth grade in Tehran with pre-post and follow up test in the research.

The aim of the present research is determining the effectiveness and consideration of the principles of educational (instructional) designing, which is applied in cognitive load, learning and teaching in multimedia learning environments. The main concern of cognitive load has been the necessity of existence of an adjustable relationship between education and the restrictions of cognitive system of learners. Regarding the restrictions of human being’s cognitive capacity, designing various learning subjects in multimedia learning environments -based on the cognitive load- has a significant importance. This research has been selected from experimental researches pretest- posttest interfering, which has group-control (the test group has been trained according to the instructional CD based on the 14 principles of multimedia, and the control group has been trained also according to the instructional CD but without the 14 principles of multimedia). This study includes all of the counseling students of Payame Noor University of Bookan which entered the university in 1390-91; the number of the students amounts to 540 students. The specimen of the research included 180 people (110 men and 70 women) which was harmonized based on Riyun’s intelligence quotient test. Moreover, they were chosen from two groups: test-group (including 55 men and 35 women) and control group (including 55 men and 35 women). The way of selection was based on simple and casual specimen. Different research’s instruments include: investigated learning test, Pas’s measuring cognitive load scale, the investigated instructional software based on 14 principles of multimedia, a questionnaire with 72 questions, which has been investigated based on 14 principles of multimedia. The results of the research showed that the consideration of the principles of educational designing in relation to group evidence has a meaningful effect (P>./01), in decreasing cognitive load and increasing learning of group test. Moreover, the relationship of each of the multiple factors (14 principles of multimedia) with cognitive load and learning was in a meaningful level.
