Today, job performance is an important and key competitive advantage that can be affected by many factors. The current research was conducted with the aim of developing and psychometrics of "Job Performance Scale" among employees of oil industry health and medical centers in Tabriz and Urmia.

The current research is of methodological type. The items were developed based on the description of general and specific job duties used in health and medical centers of oil industry, the theoretical foundations of job performance health and medical centers organizations, as well as the annual performance evaluation form of employees in the oil industry health and medical centers in Tabriz and Urmia was designed.Content validity was measured using the Waltz & Basel content validity index and the content validity ratio by the opinions of 16 lecturers of management courses at the University of Medical Sciences in Tabriz and Urmia. Construct validity wasinvestigated by exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity and divergent validity, on 145 people using a stratified relative random method based on the share of medical and non-medical staff in Tabriz and Urmia cities. Reliability was calculated using the internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability on 35 medical staff in the health and medical centers of the University of Medical Sciences in Tabriz and Urmia. Data analysis was done in PLS. 3.

The results of the content validity index showed that 6 terms were removed due to the value of the content validity index less than 79% or the content validity ratio less than 0.49. Also, the findings of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale has 20 terms and one factor. The results showed convergent validity of 0.79 and divergent validity of 0.71. Finally, reliability was calculated using the internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.78 and combined reliability of 0.89.

"Job Performance Scale" with 20 items and single factor was developed and psychometrically evaluated. It is suggested to use the developed instrument to measure the job performance of employees of health and medical centers in the oil industry.

The research tool is a 10-point scale questionnaire based on upstream documents. In order to analyze qualitative data using thematic analysis method, and to analyze quantitative data from single-sample T-tests, factor analysis using AMOS software was used for structural modeling and fit indices.

The findings of the research showed that the competency model of Farhangian University faculty members has 2 comprehensive themes of professional and basic competencies in the form of 6 educational and research dimensions, cultural and social, attitudinal, jihadist and revolutionary, ethics and spirituality, personality traits and 78 basic themes.

The results of this research can be used as a basis for creating desirable changes in measuring and improving competencies, self-development programs, professional development programs, and the development of continuous professional commitment of Farhangian University faculty members. Which will lead to the excellence of the country's teacher training system.

Various factors including cultural competences and social support affect teachers' professional ethics. This study intended to model structural relationships, cultural competence, and elementary teachers' professional ethics with the mediating role of social support.

This descriptive-correlational research was conducted using structural equation modeling. The population consisted of 2100 elementary school teachers of Tabriz, out of which 325 teachers were selected, and structural equation modeling was used to answer the valid questionnaires on cultural competence, professional ethics, and social support . Data analysis was done with SPSS 26 and SMART PLS 3 software.

The results of the research showed that the model has a good fit and cultural competences and social support were directly, positively, and significantly (P < 0.01) able to predict professional ethics. Moreover, the mediating role of social support in the relationship between cultural competencies and professional ethics was positive and significant (P < 0.01).

Based on the results, it can be said that paying attention to cultural competencies and social support can lead to to the development of professional ethics. In addition to these results, it can create novel insights for policy makers and educational planners in the development of professional ethics.

In an age where the increasing need for critical thinking has been identified, this research was conducted to investigate the level of development of this skill in elementary school textbooks in Iran's educational system. Using a mixed approach, combining quantitative content analysis with qualitative focus groups involving educators, this study evaluated the presence and depth of critical thinking motivations in textbooks. Findings showed that while textbooks provide basic knowledge, they lack in-depth critical thinking exercises, open-ended questions, and real-world case studies. In addition, a significant lack of diverse perspectives was noted. This study emphasizes the necessity of an appropriate model that integrates critical thinking seamlessly into the curriculum and emphasizes its fundamental importance in shaping young minds.

The job performance of human resources in organizations is one of the key indicators of their evaluation in the rapid changes of this century. This research was conducted with the aim of structural analysis of the relationship between the components of perception of job characteristics and job performance based on the mediation of work alienation.

The present study was descriptive of correlation type and based on structural equations. The statistical population of this study included all 240 health and treatment workers in the oil industry of northwest Iran in different categories. Among these 240 people, 145 were selected based on the Karjesi and Morgan table and by stratified random sampling method. Questionnaires were used to measure all the variables, and the psychometric properties of the questionnaires were evaluated and their validity was estimated. To analyze the data, PLS software was used at a significance level of 0.05.

The results showed that the ability to predict employees' job performance based on job characteristics with the mediation of alienation from work with a coefficient of determination of 0.96 and the ability to predict alienation from work based on job characteristics with a coefficient of determination of 0.88 were high. There was a positive and significant relationship between feedback, identity, and perceived importance of job characteristics with job performance. There was a significant inverse relationship between the diversity dimension of job characteristics and alienation from work and between alienation from work and job performance (P<0.05).

Human resource management programs that can improve the perception of job characteristics and reduce work alienation can improve the work performance of health workers.

Psychological capital can be improved through educational interventions, but its improvement through learning empowerment has received less attention. The purpose of this research was to explain the lived experiences of school principals in improving the psychological capital of female high school students through learning empowerment. This study was based on a qualitative approach and a descriptive phenomenology method, with the study of 23 participants from among the principals of secondary schools for girls in the second year of secondary school in Tabriz city in the academic year of 2022-2023. Purposive sampling method was used for sampling and 23 semi-structured individual interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation was reached. the data analysis was done based on the seven-step strategy of Colaizzi. the findings show that the managers' lived experience of improving the psychological capital of female high school students through empowering learning in 3 themes and 23 sub-themes including: improving skills (self-confidence, self-esteem, self-development, self-leadership, self-regulation, self-evaluation, absorbing feedback, study skills, life skills), raising awareness and supportive learning atmosphere (counseling, psychological training, opportunities for interpersonal interactions in the classroom, positive classroom climate, independent learning, improving the quality of learning, need-based learning process, synergy in learning, meaningful learning), participation in class and school (participation in classroom management, participation in school management, team learning, team innovation, collective activities) can be categorized. It can be concluded that empowering learning through creating positive cognitive models in students provides improvement of their psychological capital.

In this article, we try to have a general philosophical view on the philosophy of education and training. The great teachers of education and training have spoken a lot about education and training and its stages. According to them, the only way to reach human perfection is through education. Although education is a necessary condition for the perfection of man, it is difficult to achieve. Education has great value in life and requires a long time and flexibility. The formation of human personality depends on the way of education. With proper education, a person can walk the path of perfection, and if the education and training of a person is neglected, he will be reduced to the level of an animal. Individual and group work is needed to solve education issues. In addition, using the experiences of the predecessors and the opinions and views and philosophical perspectives of new teachers in this field can be a way forward. The complexity of life in today's era is such that the need to be familiar with the latest theoretical perspectives, both in educational sciences and in philosophy, is an unavoidable necessity. Therefore, in this article, we try to emphasize this issue more.

The main purpose of this qualitative study is to visualize the philosophy program for children (p4c) in Iranian primary education (policy, strategies and practice). The secondary purpose is to examine the informational and practical experiences, perceptions and feelings of specialists and elementary teachers of the representation and possibility of implementing a philosophy program for children in primary education in Iran. The method of qualitative research is phenomenography . Data were collected over two weeks through one-on-one interviews with 8 experts and 13 teachers involved in the FBQ program. Findings in three three-level descriptive categories; Policy-making, strategies, and implementation constitute the outcome space. Most of the interviewees considered these three levels necessary in the implementation of the FBQ program. As a result, this study suggests that phenomenography can be used as an evaluation tool to identify policies, strategies, and practices and to describe their structural aspects, which may serve as the executive framework of the FBQ program from marginal to thematic core and its sensitivity. Move that has never been thought of before. As a result, identifying the above challenges at three descriptive levels in finding solutions and solving obstacles and problems, will facilitate the implementation process and help achieve the goals of the FBQ program in primary education.

The purpose of this study was to job burnout's structural analyse in teachers based on professional development and participatory Management of school in Tabriz education districts.This research is a descriptive-correlational based on structural equations model study considering the relationship between professional development variable with job burnout variable as well as mediated by participatory management. Also, this research is a cross-sectional study with a wide range of researches. The statistical population of the study consisted of all girls' secondary school teachers in Tabriz's educational districts, who spent between 1 and 10 years of their service. The number of teachers in the lower 10 years background is 126. The sampling method in this study was relative stratified random according to area. The sample size is 100 people per community of 130 according to Morgan's table. The sample size was divided into 5 unequal classes divided into five districts and teachers. The following questionnaires were used for data collection:Professional Development QuestionnaireIn this study, a questionnaire was developed to measure the professional development of teachers using the Kentucky Professional Development Standards Questionnaire. The Kentucky State Standards for Professional Standards for Teacher Preparation and Certification has designed nine standards and has reviewed and revised them from 1 to 5 years. Different standards are used to measure each standard in separate batches, ranging from very low to very high five options. The Teachers' Professional Standards Development Questionnaire has 70 questions. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by applying it on 30 teachers of the statistical society and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.82. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed and confirmed by content validity using twelve professors or educational groups.Burnout Questionnaire:This test is made by Maxwell, which is based on a new estimate of the phenomenon of stress, namely burnout. The questionnaire consists of three items that measure emotional exhaustion, deterioration, and lack of personal success in the context of professional activity, and are especially used to measure and prevent burnout in professional groups such as nurses, teachers, and others (Azizi et al., 2008). The items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale. When studying this scale by the subject, one expresses his / her feeling with regard to the options available. The questions (1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 13, 14, 16, 20) are related to the emotional exhaustion subscale. The questions (5, 10, 11, 15, 22) are also related to the de-personalization subscale (as well as the questions (4, 7, 9, 12, 17, 18, 19, 21). Individual success (individual performance). Questions (6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 22, 1, 2, 3, 5) This questionnaire is inversely rated for ratings and questions (4, 7, 9, 12, 17 , 18, 19, 21) are calculated directly. In a study conducted by Khaledi in Iran in 1996, the validity of the questionnaire was reported to be 0.91, and Badri, in 2000, the validity of the Maslach burnout questionnaire with emotional exhaustion (0.90); depersonalization of personality (0.79); Confirmed individual performance (0.71) (Saatchi & Asgarian, 2014). The reliability of the questionnaire in this study was estimated by 30 teachers for emotional exhaustion (0.79); depersonalization of personality (0.8); personal performance (0.78) and for the whole questionnaire (0.82). Is.Participatory Management QuestionnaireThe questionnaire consists of 40 items on a 5-point scale that assess the extent to which principals use a school-based participatory management style from the teachers' perspective. This questionnaire was designed and used by Fakali in 2016 and has a reliability of 0.89. The reliability of the questionnaire in the present study was estimated to be 0.84 with 30 teachers. Structural equation modeling with PLS software was used to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses.Also analysis of statistical data and design of structural equation model with PLS software showed:Job burnout of teachers based on professional development in girls' secondary schools in Tabriz education districts can be predicted using structural equation modeling.Job burnout of teachers based on participatory management in girls' secondary schools in Tabriz education districts cannot be predicted using structural equation modeling.Participatory management is predictable based on the professional development of teachers recruited in girls' secondary schools in Tabriz by using structural equation modeling.The correlation matrix between variables indicates that there is a significant (0.73) positive relationship between professional development and participatory management. There is a significant inverse relationship between participatory management and professional development with job burnout and its components.The coefficient of explanation for burnout based on participatory management is not significant because the T value is less than 1.96 and the significance level is above 0.05. And other predictors of job burnout and its components based on professional development with T value higher than 1.96 and significance level less than 0.05 are significant. The coefficient of path of predicting burnout based on professional development in the studied teachers is 0.73 and this value is 0.737 in explaining teachers' participation in school management based on professional development.Findings showed that participatory management and job burnout of teachers based on professional development in girls' secondary schools in Tabriz education districts can be predicted using structural equation modeling.

Today, the use of appropriate training strategies that are compatible with the principles of the brain are considered in science education. Because of the greater compatibility of the contextual learning strategy with the principles of the brain based learning, this study examined the impact of this strategy on natural Science education.

The research method is semi experimental. The statistical population includes all third grade elementary students in Tabriz studying in 1397-1398. Using multi-stage cluster sampling method, 112 students (57 in the experimental group and 55 in the control group) were selected as the sample. The The measuring tool includes a test of learning at two levels of knowledge and the level of understanding and higher levels, which was performed in the pre-test and post-test. The educational plan in the experimental group was implemented by trained teachers in 8 sessions. While, the control group was trained with the conventional approach. Covariance test was used to analyze the data.

The results show that the level of learning at the level of knowledge between the studied samples in the experimental group before (mean 4.45) and after the intervention (mean 5.89) was not statistically significant (p = 0.326). However, at the level of understanding and higher, the amount of learning before (5.35) and after the intervention (10.80) is a significant difference (p = 0.001).

Applying a contextual strategy that is more consistent with brain-based principles can be used as an appropriate approach to improve learning level in natural science education.

The world today is a world of great change. Which has moved towards the digital future over the years. As information technology has become a controversial topic in recent years, one of the main conditions for development in information technology is the presence of skilled and efficient people, hence the need to pay attention to improving skills to prepare for the great flood of further change. It is felt, therefore, that the issue of digital literacy is raised beforehand. Digital literacy as a genuine competency in the 21st century is essential for today's competitive and global markets. Therefore, the present study examines the concept of digital literacy in the form of a review study. And the results of the research show that digitally literate people know how to use digital tools to present their capabilities to a wider audience and interact with people from all over the world.

Dual power is very difficult because it involves two opposing processes of exploration and exploitation that must be managed simultaneously (3). Exploration refers to innovation, creativity, change and repetition, while exploitation refers to cost-effectiveness, implementation, re-launching processes and achieving goals (4). Organizational ambiguity is a new concept in management that can be discussed in relation to organizational survival and its performance. An organization needs organizational ambiguity to survive, grow, improve performance, innovate and be competitive in today's dynamic environment. Successful organizations in a dynamic environment are ambiguous by using the facilities at their disposal (exploiting) and discovering new opportunities (exploring). 11 The basic concept of ambivalent is the individual's ability to use both hands simultaneously. Some research has examined the prerequisites for ambivalence, for example, personal characteristics that can increase employees' ambiguity, including intrinsic motivation (17), cognitive information (18), self-efficacy (19), attitude and orientation. (20) is stress management and self-confidence for social support (21). Also, the relationships between psychological characteristics of the individual and ambivalence may be adjusted by other variables such as age, experience, and emotional intelligence (22, 23). Therefore, based on the existing theoretical foundations, the variables of psychological capital, intrinsic motivation, ability to cope with stress, competence mediated by emotional intelligence are defined as important psychological preconditions on the duality of the organization. But also provide new ground for fundamental research and new psychological strategies to increase organizational ambiguity for managers and decision makers. Therefore, the researcher seeks to answer the question of whether the pattern of psychological factors affecting ambiguity in organizations is sufficiently appropriate.

The present descriptive and applied research population consisted of managers of small and medium companies in Tabriz, which due to the unlimited population and 379 available managers of companies were selected as a sample. Then the emotional intelligence questionnaire has 33 questions and evaluation of three components (emotional evaluation and expression, emotional regulation and exploitation of emotion), dual-ability questionnaire has 14 questions and two components (exploratory and exploitation), internal motivation has 6 questions, management Stress has 34 questions and component evaluations (strategies for creating a sense of optimism, time management, recreational activities, exercise, putting the body at rest, putting others patiently on a diet) and psychological capital and psychological empowerment. Provide them with 15 questions and evaluation components (competency, management, assistance, management, etc.) and ask them to answer the questionnaire patiently and honestly. Finally, to describe the data, the mean and standard deviation in the form of SPSS software version 26, to examine the conceptual model, confirmatory factor analysis (measurement and structural model) version 9.3 was used.

The results of confirmatory path analysis showed that the effect of psychological capital, intrinsic motivation, stress management and psychological empowerment and emotional intelligence on duality in organizations is positive and significant. Also, psychological capital and intrinsic motivation do not have a significant effect on duality in organizations, but also, the effect of stress management and psychological empowerment on duality in organizations is positive and significant (Table 1)The results of celebrating the mediator variable showed that emotional intelligence does not have a mediating and significant role on the relationship between capitalism and the ambiguity of organizations, emotional intelligence does not play a mediating and significant role on the relationship between intrinsic motivation and ambiguity of organizations. Also, emotional intelligence has a positive and significant role on the relationship between stress management and ambiguity of organizations; Finally, emotional intelligence has a positive and significant role on the relationship between psychological empowerment and ambiguity of organizations (Table 2). It was also found that the proposed model has a good fit.

The results showed that increasing psychological capital leads to improving organizational ambiguity. In fact, psychological capital, by relying on the psychological variables of positivism such as hope and self-efficacy leads to the promotion of the value of human capital and social capital in the organization (26). Belief or confidence in one's abilities is known as self-efficacy. This belief and confidence in a person becomes success in performing certain tasks, and this success is also through motivating oneself, providing cognitive resources for oneself and The necessary actions are taken (27). Therefore, since ambiguity is very difficult, because it involves two opposing processes of exploration and exploitation that must be managed simultaneously (3). Therefore, having self-efficacy, optimism and resilience along with hope seem to play a significant role in organizational ambiguity.Another finding showed that intrinsic motivation is one of the factors affecting organizational ambiguity. One of the most important factors influencing the performance of managers and employees is internal motivation. Employees who have strong motivation to do the job, do their job enthusiastically and have a lot of passion for their job. Thus, job aspiration - as a desirable resource - may lead to a positive cycle of resources and consequently positive effects on health (30), which results in the proper performance of the assigned job tasks or behaviors beyond it, such as individual ambiguity. it is possible.The results showed that the use of stress management strategies can improve organizational ambiguity. Research has shown that job stress can reduce people's performance by affecting micro-factors such as sleep, lifestyle, food intake, fatigue and health complaints (32,31). Given that stress reduces organizational productivity, it seems logical that stress management through methods such as experiencing a sense of happiness, diet, recreation ... can address ambiguity as a dual opposite process and challenge Have a positive effect.The results of the present study showed that psychological ability has a positive effect on organizational ambiguity. Psychological empowerment is the feeling and perception of the individual in the work environment that creates and strengthens the sense of empowerment in the mental dimensions of the individual leads to his empowerment. In fact, empowerment in organizations reflects the psychological state of employees. Psychological empowerment seems to create a sense of competence; To be meaningful; The right to choose and influence (34) can lead to the improvement of organizational ambiguity.Finally, it was found that emotional intelligence has a positive effect on organizational ambiguity. But it only has a mediating and significant role between psychological empowerment and stress management with ambiguity. Emotional intelligence is one of the capabilities associated with success in life. Employees with high emotional intelligence are more conscientious because of their ability to evaluate and deal with emotions, understand the causes of stress, be gentle with problems, and control their own and others' emotions, and have more loyalty to the organization. Those people in the organization who have higher emotional intelligence are more successful in obtaining a job and job position (34).

The aim of this study was to investigate the causal conditions for evaluating higher education policies in non-medical disciplines. The research method is qualitative research (data foundation theory) - quantitative (survey). A total of 17 experts, including members of parliament, administrators and university professors, were selected for face-to-face interviews using a non-random, purposeful method. Questionnaires were designed from coded and validated interviews using triangulation. In the quantitative section, among the professors and educational directors of non-medical disciplines of East Azerbaijan province, 200 people were selected based on the standard of determining the sample size in factor analysis (observing at least 200 samples). In order to analyze the data obtained from the interviews, a three-step process of open, centralized and selective coding was used. Dimensions and components were determined and the model was examined. SPSS and Lisrel statistical software were used to describe the data. The results of the first and second confirmation factor analysis showed that the causal conditions for evaluating higher education policies in non-medical fields include the country's need for trained personnel, lack of strong educational planning, lack of skills training at the higher education level, and the need to coordinate higher education policies with the labor market. The final result is that the causal conditions for evaluating higher education policies in non-medical disciplines require precise policy-making and planning in the field of proficiency and Adaptation to the regional labor market.

An ambidextrous educational organization is able to both take advantage of the existing competencies and explore new relevant opportunities, which empowers the organization to promote its efficiency and competitiveness. For this purpose, creating appropriate models of the factors affecting ambidexterity can increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the educational organization. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting ambidexterity in higher education and driving-dependence power analysis using interpretive-structural modeling with the aim of designing and presenting a model for ambidexterity in higher education. The population of this study included all managers of educational organizations in Tabriz city in 2019-20. The participants of this study included 382 managers from these educational organizations who were selected by two-stage cluster random sampling. Valid and reliable questionnaires as well as a researcher-made questionnaire were used to collect the data. The present study had a descriptive correlational design, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Findings showed that structural and procedural factors influence, and are influenced by, the ambidexterity of educational organizations. Overall, the results of the study showed the importance of the model designed for managers at micro and macro educational structures in Tabriz, which can be used to enhance ambidexterity in their units.

The purpose of this study is to systematically determine and explain the principles of learning based on cognitive processes in the brain. It was also attempted to infer new principles in addition to refining the pervious principles. Also, by focusing on three educational strategies of coordinated immersion, active processing, relaxed consciousness, it was tried to find adaptation of determined principles with these strategies. The present study is a combination method (qualitative-quantitative). The present study is a combination method (qualitative-quantitative). First, by examining the content of relevant and valid scientific texts as well as semi-structured interviews by thematic content analysis method, the initial framework of the project including 17 learning principles was prepared. Lawshes method was used to determine the content validity ratio (CVR) and the Waltz and Basel methods were used to adapt the principles to the strategies and to determine the content validity index (CVI). The research community in this section is 13 professors and experts. Based on CVR, 15 principles were approved. According to CVI, 9 principles related to coordinated immersion, 4 principles related to active processing and 2 principles in coordination with relaxed awareness strategy were classified. Progress in Neuroscience findings and the importance of using this finding in education requires further review and study of these findings in inferring the principles of learning based on cognitive processes in the brain. On the other hand, it is suggested to consider learning principles based on brain cognitive processes in curriculum planning and its application.

Selection of managers based on competency has always been one of the main concerns of decision makers and policy makers in the public sector and the provision of public services.The selection of the right managers at the levels of centralized and provincial units and the central leadership of public service providers in the field of insurance has been of great importance and it is necessary to specify and develop the indicators of managerial competence required for management in this organization. The purpose of this study is to develop a competency model for selecting managers in one of the main organizations providing various insurance services in Iran. Statistical population, including general manager, deputy general managers, heads of departments and heads and senior experts and heads of branches of one of the general insurance departments of the north and northwest of the country (East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, Zanjan, Kurdistan, Gilan, Mazandaran, Golestan , Qazvin and Hamedan) the statistical sample size is estimated at 228 people.Research method, integrated (qualitative and quantitative) and data collection tools in the qualitative part of the interview and the quantitative partThe questionnaire was based on the evaluation of competency criteria extracted from the qualitative part. The method of data analysis in the qualitative part was based on the theme analysis approach and in the quantitative part was based on the confirmatory factor analysis method to test the components of the competency model.

Corporate growth is an important factor for economic growth. Therefore, choosing the right growth strategy is one of the most important issues in managerial decisions. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to design a business growth strategy selection model based on Ansoff matrix using fuzzy inference system. To achieve the research goal, first based on the ANSF matrix, Factors affecting market product strategy selection are identified and then two-level fuzzy inference system designed to select the company's growth strategy. The statistical population of this research was chemical and chemical industries of East Azarbaijan province. The statistical sample is based on the sample of available 124 managers of these companies. A questionnaire was used to collect the data, which was distributed among the sample members after determining its validity and reliability. In order to analyze the data while using exploratory factor analysis, a fuzzy inference system based on triangular membership functions and Mamdani inference is used to formulate the model of choosing the growth strategy of the company. The research results show that the designed system is able to identify the right growth strategy for companies. Also, the results in determining the growth strategy of the companies show that for the surveyed community, the best growth strategy was market development.

A mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) has been used to conduct this research. In the qualitative part of the research, until the achievement of theoretical saturation, with 11 people who were purposefully selected, semi-structured interviews were conducted and the proposed conceptual model of the research was formed based on the six stages of the theme analysis approach. The proposed model of this part of the research includes 11 sub-categories: Personality, interaction, environmental awareness, marketing, environmental communications, human capital management, proper management of the general office/branch, general knowledge, specialized knowledge, structure, and content, and 5 main categories: Individual competence, environmental competence, managerial competence, knowledge competence, and organizational competence consisted of 44 concepts. In the quantitative part of the research, the final model derived from the qualitative approach was provided to the research experts in the form of a Delphi questionnaire to determine the most important indicators of the competency of the research organizational positions and during several round-trip stages of the questionnaire and the theoretical consensus of experts. It was determined the index of reform and management of processes and methods of work for the organizational positions of the general manager of the province, the administrative, and financial deputy of the province and the head of the specialized department.

This study was conducted to assess reading proficiency of first grade students at Turkish-Persian bilingual and Persian monolingual regions. The research design was survey-descriptive and the sample was selected through cluster sampling which emcompassed 20 classes including 300 first grade students. Shafiei et al.’s (1387) Inventory Reading Test (IRT), was employed to assess participants’ comprehension, accuracy and fluency; Soleimani and Dastjerdy’s (1389) phonological awareness test was employed to measure phonological awareness differences; and a research made questionnaire based on Nematzade et al.’s (1390) study was used to achieve participants’ vocabulary repertoire. The results through independent t test indicated significant differences in accuracy and fluency between bilingual and monolingual students. However, there were not significant differences among reading comprehension, phonological awareness, vocabulary repertoire of bilingual and monolingual students. To indicate the reading subcomponents relationships, Pearson correlation was done and the results showed significant relationships among reading five-subcomponents. Due to the effectiveness of bilingualism and the interconnection among reading sub-components, educational authorities should seriously support special intervening reading programs for bilingual students. It has been estimated that approximately two-third of the world’s population is either bilingual or multilingual; that is, more than half the people in the world routinely use two or more languages in their daily communication in different ways. Multilingualism and multiculturalism are social facts of this new century, which can be seen in most classrooms and playgrounds. Iran, a multicultural society, is home to a number of language communities speaking Azeri-Turkish, Kurdish, Baluch, and Arabic languages among others. In non-Persian regions children attending the first grade classes are not competent in Persian listening and speaking skills. These children should study all school curriculums in Persian along with Persian native-speaker students. It seems that bilingualism in Iran is a kind of subtractive bilingualism. Unlike additive bilingualism that both languages enrich each other, in subtractive bilingualism the second language is added at the expense of the first language. Consequently, bilingualism in Iran seems to have contributed to the high rate of retention and grade repetition. For instance, in both TIMSS and PIRLS international studies, Iranian students ranked almost last.  As a case in the international reading comprehension study of 1970, Iran ranked 14th among fifteen participating countries, and in PIRLS 2001, 32nd among the 35 participating countries. Part of this result is due to bilingualism issue in Iran. The related literature indicates that Iranian bilingual students got lower scores than monolingual in reading comprehension test. Curriculum planners always search for ways to remedy this problem. For example, they have designed a one-month preparatory course for the non-Persian speaking students or have employed some other extra courses. But none of these solutions are effective for improving the non-Persian students’ drop-out rate. In recent years, dynamic systems theory has attracted a great deal of attention which has had a great impact on recent research on language studies. The central idea in dynamic systems theory is that language development is a dynamic, interrelated and complex cognitive demand. In the case of reading skill, it is a complex construct composed of a set of interrelated components such as accuracy, fluency, phonological awareness, reading comprehension, and vocabulary repertoire. An overview on literature shows that the majority of reading comprehension studies have predominantly focused on one shot approach on reading development studying only one of reading sub-components. However, to analyze reading development, we should consider all five-subcomponents in developmental process and concentrate on the interaction components too. In sum, to our best knowledge, most of the studies in this realm of inquiry have employed a limited number of subcomponents to account for reading comprehension research. Therefore, the impetus that prompted us to undertake this study was to analyze first grade monolingual and bilingual students’ reading comprehension because identifying the amount of reading comprehension of bilingual students and comparing it with monolingual students is the first step in eliminating the problem of  the high rate of retention and grade repetition in bilingual areas. Therefore, the present inquiry set to investigate (a) to compare monolingual and bilingual students’ reading skill (b) and to find whether there are any significant relationships between the sub-components (accuracy, fluency, phonological awareness, reading comprehension, and vocabulary repertoire) of students’ reading skill. In this study, 20 classes including 300 first grade students selected from monolingual and bilingual regions chosen through cluster sampling and three reliable and valid questionnaires including Shafiei et al.’s (1387) Inventory Reading Test (IRT), Soleimani and Dastjerdy’s (1389) phonological awareness test, and a research made questionnaire based on Nematzade et al.’s (1390) study were employed to evaluate participants’ reading skill. Meanwhile, four examiners were selected to measure the students’ reading comprehension skill. Independent t test and Pearson correlation were considered to signify the findings. The results indicated significant differences in accuracy and fluency between bilingual and monolingual students. However, there were not significant differences among reading comprehension, phonological awareness, vocabulary repertoire of bilingual and monolingual students. Pearson correlation indicated that five-subcomponents of reading construct are highly interrelated. These results were generally in harmony with previous studies. However, these findings were inconsistent with a number of related researches. The possible explanation for significance and non-significance differences in reading sub-components of bilingual and monolingual could be discussed considering contrastive analysis and the method of bilingual education in Iran. Another point of our interpretation concerns interrelatedness of sub-components of reading skill. Under appropriate condition, development in one dimension of a skill may facilitate the emergence of other aspects of language output. Based on this issue, the possible justification for reading sub-components correlation may be the co-adaptation of reading sub-components to each other in a parallel form. Thus, these sub-components could have cross-fertilized one another.
