In recent years, psychologists have introduced spirituality as one of the most effective construct in various spheres of life. Also researchers around the world have studied this phenomenon in different directions. Current research was carried out with the aim of construct and validation of spiritual capital and well being scales for senile people. Statistical population was the senile people in Isfahan city, among them, 245 people were selected by accessible sampling. Research instruments was researcher made spiritual capital and well being scales. Data were analyzed by use of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and computation of reliability coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate analysis of variances. Results revealed that spiritual capital scale with 21 items and spiritual well being scale with 8 items have suitable construct validity. Cronbachs’ alpha of spiritual capital components (spiritual valuation, quiet with God, the importance of spirituality and spiritual influence) was 0.9, 0.87, 0.84 and 0.86 respectively, and for spiritual well being scale was 0.89. Also results revealed that there are significant difference between spiritual capital and well being of non-habitant senile in sanitarium with senile who inhabitant in private and public sector sanitarium (p<0.01). Coclusion: Due to effective and constructive role of spiritual capital in the lives of the elderly, researchers can use questionnaires presented in this study for the purposes of research and practice in Iran.

This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, Elementary sixth grade students has been done Azna City of computer games. This research method is descriptive survey. The statistical population included all sixth grades by the 1390-1391 school years Azna City. With reference to table Cohen was sample of 217 students who were randomly selected from the statistical population. A researcher made questionnaire was used to collect data. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics revealed that six elementary schools students towards computer games is higher than average, also investigation revealed that between true knowledge and knowledge processes of students towards computer games with the usage of game and there is a positive correlation But the knowledge of their concept of using computer games in this connections is not correlated. So how much concept knowledge they were higher than computer games their usage of these games in an organized fashion, was more controlled and accurate.

Investigation of differences of top people’s scores in mathematical, natural and humanities science in the university entrance examination, according to Bloom's cognitive levels. We aimed to analyze three groups of questions about math, science and humanities sciences were based on Bloom's cognitive levels. In this descriptive - analytical sample was selected using purposive sampling. The data have been collected where the information on the education measure. Thus, the answer to 100 volunteers who participated in the 1390 entrance examination and test groups among the top 100 math, and humanities were selected as samples. Data using chi-square test and Wilcoxon tests were used for analysis. The results showed that among the ranks of 1 to 100 in each of three experimental groups don’t have any differences in the three groups was seen Bloom cognitive multiple correct answers. Used data in this research related to national organization educational testing.

Researches has shown that the addition of intelligence, other variables such as student’s beliefs about mathematics effect on their academic performance and progress. Therefore, investigate of the psychometric characteristics of commonly tools such as mathematical beliefs scale is important. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of native version of the mathematical beliefs scale (Ladder and Helen, 2002) for use in the Iranian educational culture, that scale is a part of the questionnaire Sherman & Fennema Mathematics Attitudes (1976). the sample of the study was 250 students from junior high school math students that selected based on cluster sampling and responds to mathematical beliefs scale. Factor analysis using principal component confirmed there are three factors to measure beliefs about Education mathematics which explained the first 20/17, the second 10/97, and the third 7/93 of the total variance. For the convergent validity of the scale, we use relationship between the mathematical beliefs Scale and mathematics scale of students in final exam at school. A result showed that the correlation between the scale and test is 72/0 that significant is in level p< 0/001. So, reliability of mathematical beliefs Scale with Coefficient Alpha, 0/83, which is acceptable and satisfactory. The results of the psychometric mathematical beliefs Scale showed the scale should be able to measuring mathematical beliefs of high school students in mathematics and it can be used in future mathematics education research.
