The curriculum in the higher education systems plays a determinant role qualitatively and quantitatively in achieving goals of higher education. The goal of current study is qualitative evaluation of educational technology curriculum field. In this study, one of the qualitative research methods called phenomenology has been used. The samples have been selected from mentioned field master-teacher, students and graduated students by goal-based sampling procedure from universities of Tabriz, Arak and Allameh Tabatabaei. Main method to collect data was semi-structured interview and results have been analyzed by Van Maanen pattern. Achieved results showed that goals and topics of the field need to be revised. Also, educational science faculties are poor in facilities, equipments and experts. Although Contents of the field are logically related to each other but, are not updated and comprehensive. Experiences of students imply that academic members often use lecture method and active methods of teaching are rarely used in class

Major aim of current study is to examine psychometric properties of self-esteem implicit association test. Special goals to examine the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity. Our population was the students of Shahid Beheshti University and 300 undergraduate and graduate students were selected through purposive sampling. Also 50 students from faculty of Education and psychology were selected in order to examine test- retest reliability. Results showed that test-retest reliability and internal consistency was 0.52 and 0.63 respectively. Also convergent validity with name-letter test and discriminant validity with Rosenberg explicit self-esteem both obtained 0.06. The results of current study, consistent with previous research, indicating that self-esteem IAT has an appropriate reliability and internal consistency, impoverished convergent validity and acceptable discriminant validity. These results can be interpreted

An important issue in obtaining the score in a composite test is the status of combining to combine different component scores of the test to compute the total scores of examinees. These weights should be selected in a manner that not only considers the psychometric properties of each component and their determining elements, but also minimizes the difference between the observed score and the real score of each examinee which explains his/her real ability. In other words, the framework of decision-making is designed with respect to different considerations such as validity, test times, reliability, etc. There have been suggestions for obtaining to obtain the maximum reliability of composite scores in the last few decades. These include the implicit approach and the explicit approach. The implicit approach involves adding the raw scores and using IRT model. The explicit approach involves weighting the components by the difficulty of the items, assigning the weights to component scores based on the reliability measures of the components, and weighting the components by maximizing the validity of the composite scores. In this paper, we introduce the approach of obtaining the maximum reliability in Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory. Besides considering the pros and cons of each method, we investigate the estimates of the reliability and the standard error of measurement of the composite scores for data in a simulation study

The purpose of this study is to investigate and clarify the status and role of the learner organization in the human resources development and improvement system among the personnel of Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran. The statistical population for this study included all the personnel of Shahid Beheshti University. The sample was selected based on simple random sampling and it included 250 subjects. This study is an applied study and the data for this study was collected based on descriptive statistics method which included correlations, specifically structural equation modeling technique. The instrument utilized for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire with a reliability of 0. 83. The data was analyzed based on descriptive statistics and the inferential statistics was performed by a structural equation modeling technique and confirmatory path analysis using SPSS16 and LISREL 8. 5. The results obtained in this study revealed that the factors of knowledge management, organizational culture and organizational structure have a positive and significant effect on the learning organization cycle for the personnel. That is to say that the relationship between all the coefficients of the suggested path is also significant (P<0.01).

This article evaluated the scientific efforts of 17 developing countries in science production during the first five years of 21 century. The results show that GNI with 70% and technological infrastructures such as internet impact factor with 72% possess the most impact in science production. On the other hand, the gross enrolment rate at higher education level which is considered as the most important component has been the least effect on science production with 25%. According to data among the 17 countries rank of Iran in science production is 10. Although there has been notable increase in science production of such countries, they are not comparable with developed countries yet since the position of their initial science production has been at a low level. However, if the scientific macro policy of such countries does not alter and they still insist on the current unreal and inflexible programming, we cannot expect any changes in the status of Iran at the competitive continuum in a long term.

this study assesses The satisfaction of Ferdowsi University students from services provided by the accommodation office. to achieve this purpose, after assessing validity (logic) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha) of the questionnaire, 300 questionnaires were used randomly. Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test showed abnormality. Then Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis Test used to analyze the. The results of Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis Tests revealed the impact of gender, age and education level on student's perceptions and expectations. Also, results of client (student) satisfaction index (CSI) showed the main strengths and weaknesses of the dormitories administration. Electronical enrolment for dormitory is one of the main strengths and establishment of library and renovation of dormitory facilities are the essential factors that enable to improve the accomodation services.

Main objective of this research is to to aply an internal evaluation model to identify shortcomings and strengths of business management at faculty of management of Tehran university. The research is applied and the methodology of research is descriptive- survey. So, to collect the required information, the questionnaires have been given to the needs of departments. Faculty members, students and alumni determining the arms of group interview whit open questions were used because of limited number of academic members. According to the results of the data analysis, the measure of utility of each criterion and seven Factors of business management were determined, organizational positron, department management, academic members, educational and research facilities, alumni were in desired level. Students, learning and teaching strategies, educational courses and curriculums were "almost" in desired level. Consequently it is concluded that the group has desired status.
