What knowledge, skills, and attitudes should students have acquired at the time of graduation? And how can we ensure that students achieve these abilities? These are the two basic questions that engineering education has sought to answer in the last few decades and has taken valuable steps to answer them. At the same time, two major questions in Iran’s engineering education are: What are the shortcomings of Iranian undergraduate engineering education programs? And how can the quality of engineering education be improved by eliminating these shortcomings? In the past few decades, the planning of engineering education in Iran has been centralized. As a result, a significant part of the strengths and weaknesses of the educational programs are common. The purpose of this research is to identify the shortcomings of engineering education programs and to provide practical solutions to resolve them. For this purpose, using two internationally valid models, the shortcomings of the programs were identified, and in each case, an executive solution was developed and proposed to resolve them. The suggested solutions were executed and their effectiveness was proven. Implementation of the proposed solutions is a positive step to move from quantity to quality in engineering education in Iran.

The purpose of the current research is to identify the main dimensions, components and indicators of the quality of research and science production in Kurdistan Azad University and Kermanshah units.

The research method is quantitative and qualitative (mixed) in terms of practical purpose and in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the research included all faculty members, researchers and research managers of Islamic Azad University of Kermanshah and Kurdistan branch in the academic year of 2018, whose number is reported to be 298. Referring to Morgan's table, 222 samples for the population were selected from the statistical population using simple random sampling method, and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data on a ten-point Likert scale. The validity of the questionnaire was estimated through face and content validity and their reliability by testing the questionnaire in a sample of 15 people using Cronbach's alpha of 0.878.SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the obtained data. In order to evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed model, a second questionnaire was designed and distributed among 30 experts. The t-test confirmed the suitability of the model at the confidence level of 0.95.

The results of the research indicate that based on the opinion of experts and the review of the theoretical foundations and background of the research, the final model was designed in five dimensions: culture, human resources, facilities and financial resources, management and structure, and education.

It can be said that the dimensions and indicators identified in this research are in line with the quality of research and science, and planners should take advantage of it in designing their model.

The aim of the current research was to identify and prioritize the main components of the evaluation of the quality of the internship curriculum of the teacher training system. The Methods of the research was a mixed method research (qualitative-quantitative). The required information was collected in a targeted manner from 28 articles extracted from valid scientific databases.Data analysis in the qualitative part with the seven-step model of Corbin and Strauss (2008) and open, axial and selective coding, and in the quantitative part in order to determine the importance and priority of the dimensions and components obtained with the Shannon entropy method done. The reliability and reliability of the data were determined by the method of peer feedback and agreement between coders and Cohen's Kappa test. Findings in the qualitative section in 145 indicators, 22 dimensions and 5 main components: "policy and strategic mechanisms", "general and specialized competencies of internship guides", "management and leadership mechanisms of internship affairs", "transformation and improvement mechanisms" Internship matters" and "functional achievements" were categorized and presented in three levels of policy, functional and consequence components. Based on the Shannon entropy test results of the main components were prioritized The theoretical framework for evaluating the quality of the internship curriculum provides a suitable scientific tool for planning the development of the quality of the internship curriculum in the education system.

Quality is essential for the survival of modern educational institutions and a gateway to the globalization of higher education. In the last few decades, engineering has gone through many changes and certain criteria have been proposed for a standard engineering education. Today, leading engineering education schools have revised their educational programs to enable graduates to enter the national and international engineering job market. This situation calls for prioritizing improvement in educational program quality. One of the most common methods for identifying the quality of education is to pass the accreditation process successfully. In modern “accreditation”, instead of measuring what the university offers, the focus is on “outcomes” or what the graduates have gained. To judge the extent to which students achieve the desired outcomes, two methods of evaluation have been developed: “internal assessment” or “self-assessment” by the educational institution; and “external assessment” by independent accreditation bodies. This article first reviews the status of engineering education accreditation in the world and explains the mechanism of internal and external assessment. Then, measures that have been taken in the last decade to evaluate engineering education in Iran, according to the common criteria in the world, are explained

Today, higher education systems in general and engineering education in particular play a significant role in the sustainable development of countries. On the other hand, the production and development of different technologies has created new conditions for engineering education systems and has doubled its importance. In other words, engineering education should train engineers who can design effective solutions to meet the needs of society and adapt to new technological trends and tools, considering sustainable development. Therefore, along with the quantitative growth, the improvement of the quality of engineering education has been considered. In this regard, although Iran’s engineering education system has enjoyed increasing growth in recent years, its quality is challenged by overemphasis of the curriculum on theoretical knowledge, the mismatch of skills of the graduates with the needs of the labor market.  Then, as graduates lack entrepreneurship skills their unemployment causes problems.   Based on the above, this article, while examining the quantitative expansion of students in the engineering education system, analyzes challenges and the need to strengthen monitoring and assessment process to improve its quality. Then, the current situation and ideal role of Iranian Institute for Accreditation of Engineering Education are discussed.

The aim of this study was providing a model for upgrading the quality of research-oriented school in the perspective of educational mamagement in secondary schools of Hamedan province.

The purpose of research was applied, implementation method was mixed, method of the qualitative part was sequential exploratory, the participants were 19 education specialists, that were selected with a targeted non-random method. Data collection was done by triangulation method Theoretical literature, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire. Validity was calculated with Lincoln and Goba's four criteria. Reliability was calculated with Kendall's tie coefficient (p<0.01) and Analysed with maxqda. The quantitative method was descriptive-survey and sample was 305 employees (principals, assistants, and teachers) of schools in Hamedan province 2022, who were selected by a random-stratified method. The data collection tool was ROSQ (research oriented school questionnaire). Construct validity and reliability were significant (with the methods of internal similarity and Split off). Data were analyzed with AMOS & SYSTATE.

The Results showed that the research oriented school has 3 dimensions (human resources- general atmosphere of school- rules and instructions) and 26 effective factors (providing student needs, teacher creativity, satisfying student curiosity, student creativity, student accuracy, professional teaching method, student thinking, researcher teacher, teacher's accuracy, practical content by the teacher, parents' thinking, parents' accuracy, quality based school, process oriented, research-based evaluation, critical thinking in school, team work in school, problem-oriented, thinking oriented, targeted incentive system, science production, empiricism, scientific decision-making, researcher assistant, research indicators, research-oriented discourse).

in order to qualitatively and quantitatively improve the position of research in the school, 5 components of teachers, students, parents, rules and regulations, and the general atmosphere of school should be considered by the education systems.

This research aimed to develop a quality assurance model for higher education in Afghanistan with a focus on the role of innovative technologies. A qualitative method was employed based on a grounded theory approach in this research. Data collection tool included semi-structured interviews, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 members of quality assurance committees of public universities in Kabul city until theoretical saturation was reached. Purposeful sampling method was employed, and individuals were selected using snowball sampling method. Based on the findings, 487 initial codes, 187 concepts, and 30 sub-categories were identified in the coding stage. Then, in the axial coding stage, sub-categories and concepts were related to each other, and finally, selective coding was conducted following Strauss and Corbin’s paradigmatic pattern. The components of accountability, competitiveness, transformation of humanities, indigenization, economic factors, and quality assurance process of evaluation were identified as causal conditions; goal structure and educational program, faculties capacity, student capabilities, university environment, and infrastructure were identified as contextual conditions; and scarcity of financial resources, study resources, administrative bureaucracy, faculty/student situation, information technology, and indigenous quality assurance model were identified as intervening conditions. Continuous assessment, curriculum planning, faculty empowerment, effective communication, strengthening university-community and industry relations were categorized as strategies, and individual, organizational, and extra-organizational outcomes were classified as Consequences. Ultimately, the results of this research indicated that quality assurance in higher education in Afghanistan depends on the existence of specialized individuals, allocation of necessary resources, leadership support, and the level of independence of universities.
