This study was conducted with the  purpose  of investigating the relationship between philosophical mindset and research performance and creativity of professors at Shahr Babak Azad University in the academic year 2024-2025. Considering the purpose and nature of the study, the research method of this study is applied in terms of purpose and survey in terms of data collection.  The statistical population of this study is 60 professors of Shahr Babak Azad University, and the sample size studied in this study is the entire number due to the small size of the university unit.The data collection tools were the philosophical mindset questionnaire, the Torrance Creativity Assessment Questionnaire, and the research performance questionnaire. The results of data analysis showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between philosophical mindset and creative teaching of professors at Shahr Babak Azad University (r=0.512) and there is a positive and significant relationship between philosophical mindset and performance of professors at Shahr Babak Azad University (r=0.384). The findings of the study showed that professors who have a philosophical mindset pay great attention to teaching techniques and are influenced by their philosophical mind in the teaching process and use active and creative teaching methods. Through these active teaching methods, students can learn effectively. Also, philosophical mindset has a positive effect on their teaching performance as one of the most important tasks of university professors. They are able to perform tasks that increase the quality of teaching, such as planning and preparing the teaching process, evaluating and human relations, managing the classroom, and conducting professional partnerships. It can be expected that the quality of teaching at that university is also at a desirable level.

One of the important purposes of all educational systems is to foster creativity in students. Likewise, the use of more appropriate teaching methods is emphasized in fostering students' creativity. Therefore, the aim of this research was to identify the dimensions of students' creativity by emphasizing the reverse learning approach. The present research method was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data type - with thematic analysis. The participants in the research included academic experts in the field of educational sciences and education experts who were interviewed in the form of purposeful sampling and using the snowball method. The research tool was semi-structured interviews. To increase the validity (reliability) of the formal method and reliability, the agreement coefficient method between the coders was used. Thematic analysis and coding methods were also used to analyze the data. The findings showed that 26 open codes, 4 central codes including individual factors with 10 sub-themes; an environment with 7 sub-themes; Organization with 5 sub-themes and institutional factors with 8 sub-themes were identified as dimensions of students' creativity with emphasis on the reverse learning approach. It can be concluded that by teaching with the reverse learning method and paying attention to its components, creativity can be provided in students. Therefore, the planners of the education system should move towards more creative teaching-learning methods to cultivate creativity.

The most important factor influencing the emergence of creativity and innovative thinking in students is education, and the most suitable environment for nurturing creativity and innovation in any society is educational settings. In this regard, teachers' instructional skills can play a significant role in fostering students' creativity and innovation. The aim of the present research was to investigate the impact of the exploratory learning strategy on creativity and innovative thinking in chemistry lessons.

This study, in terms of purpose, was applied research, and in terms of nature and method, it was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of this research included all female high school students in the city of Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq. Using stratified random sampling, 30 female students were matched based on their initial exam scores (homogeneous pairing) and were then randomly assigned to two groups: experimental (15 students) and control (15 students). The data collection tools were the Torrance Creativity Questionnaire (1978) and the Li Zhang Innovative Thinking Questionnaire (2004). The collected data were analyzed at two levels: descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance).

The results indicate that the exploratory learning strategy has a positive and significant effect on the development of creativity and innovative thinking in chemistry lessons.

The findings point to the importance of this strategy and active approach in learning, deeper understanding, and innovative thinking as one of the effective solutions for improving the quality and depth of learning in the educational environment.

Innovation is a complex, new and emerging phenomenon that brings all kinds of changes. New and complex innovations are based on the way companies look and this phenomenon has positive and negative effects on companies. This phenomenon, which is known as innovation shock, has positive and negative messages for industrial companies when faced with their strategies and plans. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of identifying the factors causing and consequences of innovation shock with the FCM method.

This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection method, it is survey and exploratory, which has a comparative and inductive research philosophy. The statistical population of the current research is experts, consisting of company managers and managers of research and development departments in industrial towns of Lorestan province, along with university professors, who were selected as sample members using the purposeful sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical saturation. The data collection tool is an interview in the qualitative part and a questionnaire in the quantitative part. The validity and reliability of the tools have been analyzed using content validity and intra-coder-inter-coder reliability for the interview and content validity and retest reliability for the questionnaire, respectively. In this research, the content analysis and coding methods were used in the qualitative part and the FCM fuzzy cognitive mapping method was used in the quantitative part for data analysis.

The results of the research include the identification of diagnostic factors and consequences of innovation shock.

The results of this research indicate that the shock of the emerging technological network and disruption of the traditional network, the ability to absorb foreign knowledge created through entrepreneurial orientations and the emergence of disruptive changes in the industry are among the most important factors that cause innovation shock. Also, strengthening and revitalizing the brand and not moving towards stagnation, transforming traditional companies into quantum companies and creating dynamic and adaptable brands with transformative changes are among the most important positive consequences of the innovation shock.

Abedi's creativity questionnaire was used to investigate the creativity of the students. The initial scores of all three groups were considered as pre-test scores. The first group received scamper techniques training for eight 75-minutes sessions, and in the same vein the second group received TRIZ techniques. The control group did not received any training. After finishing the sessions, the creativity questionnaire was administered to the subjects again.
