This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the obstacles of efficiency and effectiveness of theses and dissertations in the field of higher education in solving the higher education issues and responding to the national needs, and also providing solutions to remove those obstacles. This applied research used the qualitative method of content analysis and the Delphi technique. The data collection tools were interviews and questionnaires obtained from the content analysis of the interviews. The participants were experts in the field of higher education, including academic staff members and higher education managers, and graduates of higher education fields. In the Delphi section, after completing 3 rounds, a consensus was reached regarding the obstacles, as well as the solutions for the efficiency and effectiveness of graduate theses and dissertations in the field of higher education in solving the higher education issues and responding to the national needs. SPSS software was used for data analysis. The results indicate that the existing obstacles for the effectiveness and efficiency of theses and dissertations in the fields of higher education and their solutions are divided into 6 categories. The first category is related to the student and the preparation of theses and dissertations (researcher). The second category is related to the supervisor, advisor, and referee (they are the guiding and monitoring team of the research). The third category is related to the (educational and research) department, faculty and university. In the fourth category, the obstacles and solutions related to the higher education system (extra-academic factors) and in the fifth category, there are factors outside the institution of higher education. Finally, in the sixth category there are obstacles and solutions related to dissertations and theses. Based on the results of the research, among the best solutions for the effectiveness and efficiency of the results of theses and dissertations, includes: strengthening the research capabilities of students and their ethical education, monitoring the completion of reforms requested by referees, and supervisors' and advisors' awareness to the issues and needs of higher education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-efficacy and self-management components of students on the process of writing thesis / dissertation. The present research is applied in terms of its purpose and is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this research is all master's and doctoral degrees from 89 to 94 years of Allameh Tabataba'i University. The data gathering tool is a standard questionnaire designed by Jones and Rudalt (1982) and Warney (2003). The questionnaire with 35 items was distributed among 364 students by stratified random sampling method and 226 numbers were collected. To investigate the relationship between independent variables with dependent variable as well as the effect of each variable of demographic variables on the dependent variable, logistic regression test was used and calculated using the spss software. The results of this study showed that the students' self-efficacy and self-sufficiency components are not affected by the process of writing thesis / dissertation. In order to improve the quality of academic research, identifying and facilitating internal and external difficulties and obstacles in the way of writing these researches should be considered by the academic staff in particular.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of students self- efficacy and self- handicapping on dissertation/thesis completion.

As an applied research, it was conducted based on descriptive and correlation method. Statistical population of the study included Ph.d and masters students, between years of 89-94 Allameh Tabataba’i University (ATU). The data gathering tool was 2 standard questionnaires which were distributed among 364 students by stratified random sampling method and gathered 226 questionnaires. Matrix correlation test was used to study the relationship between independent variables and dependent variable, and multi regression test was applied for studying the impact of independent variables on dependent variable by using spss software.

Results showed that there is no impact of self- efficacy and self handicapping on dissertation/thesis completion. To promoting quality of academic research, It’s important for academic authorities to pay attention to identification and surmount of dissertation/thesis writing internal and external obstacles.

The aim of the qualitative meta-analysis research as well as review studies is to describe، summarize، and critically evaluate the research done on a subject from one or more viewpoints، the results of which are introducing the studies carried out on a topic as well as preventing other researchers from further duplications. Moreover، by portraying the shortcomings and virtues of the studies done in a certain field، such research opens new horizons for accomplishment of genuine studies. Adopting a review and qualitative meta-analysis approach، the present study attempted to critically scrutinize the method and results sections of academic studies (i. e. theses and dissertations) done on philosophy for children (P4C) in Iran. Hence، by examining the databases of different universities in Iran، 21 studies were identified and their authors and their majors were categorized. Afterwards، the topics of the studies were classified and their objectives as well as structure of each of the chapters were examined. Additionally considering their method of research، the sections related to the summary of the results of some of these studies were evaluated. The findings of the present study indicated that most of the research done in the field suffer from serious flaws including lack of systematic research methods، deficiency in the literature reviews، insufficiency in referring to the previous research، disregarding mechanics of writing، paying no attention to the results of the similar research done in the field، and inadequacy of the discussions and conclusions.. The present study، also aimed to point to different intact aspects of P4C in Iran.
