Nowadays pathology lesson presents in classrooms. Traditional learning doesn’t meet needs of present age. Web-based electronic learning (Elearning) is one of new learning methods. Also, Elearning has disadvantages. Combined learning is a combination of traditional and Elearning. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of traditional and combined learnings on learning of practical oral pathology lesson.
A weblog was designed containing of parts of practical oral pathology lesson. 30 dentistry students were divided in two equal groups. Before participation in classroom, one group studied subjects on weblog. Before traditional learning, evaluation of Elearning was done. Then, training was done in classroom for two groups. After a period, evaluation of combined and traditional learning for two groups was done. On later stage, position of two groups was exchanged beside that the contents were changed. Similar to early stage, evaluation of Elearning, traditional and combined learnings was done. Data were imported into statistical software and the effect of Elearning, traditional and combined learnings on students’ learning was compared.
Results showed that there is significant difference between mean scores of Elearning and traditional learnings (Pvalue=0.033) and between mean scores of traditional and combined educations (Pvalue=0.007).
It can be concluded that we can benefit from web-based learning as a complementary learning method beside the traditional learning for more influences on students’ learning and even can replace the traditional education.

Pretest and posttest were used to compare population mean scores for the learning gain before and after the course delivery in each group. To determine if there is a difference in students ' achievement using the three modes of delivery, student's final exam scores were compared.
The study results indicated that in traditional group, students scored higher than the online and blended groups. This difference between traditional and online group was significant. Also the findings showed that student's field of study and gender did not have any significant effect on their achievement.
It can be concluded that traditional learning was the most effective mode in student's achievement, blended learning was the second effective mode and online learning was the least effective one.

Background Emotional Intelligence provides a new perspective about anticipation of effective factors on the success of people in a society. Cognitive Intelligence, in its best situations, is the only factor of 20 percent of success in life. 80 percent of successes depend on other factors like Emotional Intelligence. In our educational system, there is a problem that it is to emphasize more on cognitive intelligence than emotional intelligence, while EQ is so important in people ‘s fates. So, the study investigates comparison between talented and non-talented students based on Emotional Intelligence.
Methodology This sectional descriptive study had an analytical approach between two groups and was conducted in 1993 on the students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences. 152 students, including 41talented students and 111 non-talented ones, were participated in this study. Instruments of collecting data included a questionnaire with 133 Questions about Emotional Intelligence with N-bar normalization and demographic and educational specification. Analysis of the data is performed by ANOVA and T-test and Kruskal Wallis.
Findings The findings showed that an average EQ of talented students were 103.77 and of non-talented ones were 98.41. Comparison test, T-test, showed that there is no significance in EQ of students between 2 groups. (possibility level 5%, sig = 00085) In self-actualization component, there is a meaningful significance between talented and non-talented students (Sig=0.004). As a whole, it is worth to note that there was a meaningful significance (Sig=0.046) in EQ among talented students with educated fathers. It is also shown that there was a meaningful significance in EQ among non- talented ones with educated fathers (Sig=0.04).
Conclusion The results showed that there is no significance in EQ between talented and non-talented students. So it can be said that being talented could not be the only factor for having higher in other abilities like EQ and according to importance of EQ, it is proposed that in the measure of identification talented students are not considered not only cognitive intelligence but also measures of EQ, which include more than 80 percent of success in a society, needed to be considered. Key words: emotional intelligence¡ bright talents ¡ students¡ university of medical sciences.

Based on the importance of medical education development, it is imperative to determine the crucial factors which have influence on improvement of academic staff efficiency. Job satisfaction is one of the most important promoters among faculty members for enhancement of teaching quality. This study was conducted to evaluate this satisfaction among faculty members of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences (ZUMS).
In this descriptive-sectional study,the study population consisted of basic science and clinical faculty members (instructor, assistant professor and associated professor) in 6 faculties of ZUMS in 2013. Data were collected through demographic as well as Herzberg job satisfaction questionnaire by likert-type 0 to 5 scale.
The results demonstrated that in 35.5% of faculty members the satisfaction score was low, in 52.9 was moderate, and only in 11.9% was high. The satisfaction of nature of the work (82.1) was the uppermost, where salary and benefits ranged at the lowest (41.6). Physical conditions and work environment (74.6), job security (53.1), the supervision and relations (49.3), and promotion opportunities (45.3) were in the next steps, respectively.
ZUMS faculty members were satisfied with the nature of their work on the whole. However, by increasing their salaries and benefits, the academic staff efficiency can be improved.

Establishing and implementing of high quality nursing care for patients is the main objective of any nursing educational system. However, the lack of proficient nurses all over the world led to a competition and collaboration among countries to train as much nurses with high skills and knowledge as possible. This paper aims at studying and comparing two nursing educational systems of Iran and China. The results show that unlike many common aspects, the most significant similarity between these two systems is their educational paradigms that is concentrated on treatment of internal diseases and surgery with modeling the western bio-medical models, and the major difference is the validating the quality of nursing educational graduates in these two countries. In China, there is hold a national test to receive a certificate after graduation and before starting work as a nurse, but in Iran, there is no such program at the present. As a conclusion, we may use the two countries’ capabilities and educational experiences in order to improve the quality of nursing education in the other country, and hence, we may achieve the ultimate goal of nursing, i.e. providing nursing care with high quality to patients.
