The aim of this research was investigating the effect of lesson study prosses on the professional development of Saqez city elementary teachers in the academic year of 2017-2018. The research method was semi- experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all elementary teachers in Saqez city who were engaged in the lesson study course in the school year 2017-2018 as well as teachers who did not attend these courses. The sample size was 45 for the experimental group and 45 for the control group. Available sampling method was used for sampling. The validity of the tool was evaluated by experts and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and the value of this test for the whole questionnaire was 0.97. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that there was a significant difference between the professional development scores of teachers participating in the course of lesson study and the teachers who did not participate in this course (P <0.01). Also, the results showed that there was a significant difference between scores of teachers participating in the course of lesson study and the teachers who did not participate in this course in standards Designs/Plans Instruction, Creates/Maintains Environments, Implements Instruction, Assesses and Communicates Learning Results, Reflects/Evaluates Professional Practices, Collaborates with Colleagues/Families/Others, Engages in Professional Development, Knowledge of Content, and Demonstrates Implementation of Technology (P <0.01). Therefore, it can be said that lesson study can increase the professional development of teachers.

The present study aimed to investigate the perceptions and attitudes of teachers, experts and faculty members toward the curriculum of global citizenship education in elementary schools of Iran for designing a model.

This research was based on exploratory mix method approach with the participation of 34 faculty members, experts and teachers, whose selection, alongside another 387 elementary school teachers, was carried out in Tehran. The purpose of the qualitative stage was to explore the categories related to the curriculum of global citizenship education and to provide a basis for designing a questionnaire and a conceptual model for the quantitative phase. The analysis of structural equations in the quantitative phase provides a 12-factor model that illustrates the relationship between the discovered factors.

The results of this study describe and delineate the factors and categories of the exploratory model and its solutions and findings.

The present study conducted a survey of business administration textbooks, using a checklist containing 31 criteria and distributing it among business administration lecturers at universities of the west of Iran by hand and by email (online version) via social media (Telegram & LinkedIn) to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the textbooks from their point of view.

The population comprised lecturers of the field at western universities and a mixed method research was applied. The data were gathered through questionnaire and a semi-structured interview and analyzed using SPSS software, descriptive statistics and one sample t-test..

Although the results show that the textbooks of business administration mostly seem to be in a good position in terms of content and general appearances criteria, they have several weak points, naming, shape changes, localization, updated data and linking theory to practice and further improvement in these areas is clearly warranted .

Due to the importance of the interdisciplinary investigations in create of knowledge, this research study relationships between centrality metrics with researcher's scientific productivity and Performance and visualization of co-authorship social network in distance education.

The present study is an applied study of scientometrics. The statistical population is the scientific productions (In overall 40252) of all researchers, which at least one of the articles is indexed in the Web of Science citations (ISI) database from 1992 to 2012. After preparation the co-authorship matrix of countries (C1) and researchers (AU), in order to extract the results, three types of softwares it has been used: (a) Social Network Analysis Softwares (UCINET & Bibexcel), (b) Visualization of Co-Authorship Social Network Softwares (Pajek & NetDraw) and (c) Statistical Analysis Softwares (SPSS).

The results show that there is a growing growth in increase of co-authorship between scholars in distance education. Among the scholars, Liu, J; Chen, Y; Dodson, SC; Chen, X and Chen, J respectively have the highest measure of articles and also Chen, Y; Dodson, SC; Liu, B; Zhou, DX and Liu, J have the highest amount of citations received to the articles. Also in terms of the superior couples of the author, couples of (Liu J** Chen H) with 28 cases scientific collaboration had the highest rating and then couples of the (Chen Y ** chang C) and (Li Z ** Chen J) are in the next ranks. In addition, USA, Algeria, Argentina and Austria are ranked first to forth in terms of the number of records. In degree centrality, scholars such as Liu, J; Chen, Y and Dodson, SC, in closeness centrality, Chen, T; Liu, B and Chen, H and in betweenness centrality, Chen, H; Zhu, Y and Chen, J ranked first to third. Finally, the research findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the researcher's centrality scores with their scientific productivity and performance.

The results indicate that the number of citations received by researchers is a function of the number of articles published by them. Also, researchers in a co-authorship social network have social influence that have earned a higher centrality score.

studying the effect of extracurricular activities on the academic performance based on the mediator role of creativity.

The research was carried out using exploratory mixed method. The statistical population includes all sixth grade students in Bukan city, which were (N=2222) people. Based on multistage cluster sampling, 345 people were selected as the sample. used Questionnaires included: Educational Performance by Pham and Taylor, Torrance Creativity Questionnaire, and a researcher- made questionnaire for extracurricular activities.

in qualitative part nurturing Extra- curricular and Educational Extra-curricular activities Were identified. In the quantitative part, the results indicated that the confirmatory factor analysis did not have goodness of fit therefore an exploratory factor analysis was carried out which ultimately five components were extracted. The findings showed that the extracurricular activities had significant effect on academic achievement. Creative variable increases the effect of extracurricular activities on academic achievement in mediation state. among the components of extracurricular activities, organizational and artistic activities had a significant effect on academic performance. among the components of creativity, the initiative dimension had a significant effect on academic performance of students.

The purpose of this reaserch is to examine the role of physics education with lesson study approach on teacher self- regulation learning and problem-solving perception of the tenth grade of conservatories students of Baharestan City.

This research was carried out using a semi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test design The statistical population of the study was teachers and female students of tenth grade of conservatories in Baharestan of Tehran who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling with a sample size of 50 students and 14 teachers and were randomly assigned into two groups of experiment and control. Self- Regulatory Learning Questionnaire Teachers completed before and after the implementation of teaching research by teachers. At a briefing, teachers taught the lesson plan, which was conducted twice in the classroom. Pre-test before the implementation of the lesson plan was taken from the experimental group rather than physics using the student's problem- solving perception questionnaire. At the end of the course, post-test was performed using a questionnaire, too. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (covariance analysis) were used to analyze the data.

The results of the study showed that physics education with the approach of lesson study is effective on teachers' self-regulation learning, but there is no meaningful effect on the personal control component of problem- solving perception among students of conservatories.

Psychometric properties such as measurement inaccuracies, lack of differential action of the question, or lack of bias must be maintained so that the grades of a test can be compared to the different groups of the subject. The analysis of source of differential item functioning allows researchers to formulate hypotheses related to the main and potential sources of bias and the variance of the intruder structure. Since the hypotheses of DIF sources are usually built on the basis of previous theory or research and are discussed in the next step, a systematic review of the papers related to the study of the causes of DIF seems to be necessary. The findings show that the main importance of identifying DIF resources in constructing and interpreting test results is used for comparison between groups. This research is a systematic review that searches for keywords on valid databases such as Taylor & Francis, WILEY, Springer, SAGE. Of the 42 articles found, 19 related articles were identified based on entry criteria. In using each article, we tried to extract the scores in DIF, sources identified for DIF, how to identify the DIF source, the strategy used to impact the identified DIF source.

The findings show that the main importance of identifying sources of DIF in constructing and interpreting test results is used for comparison between groups. DIF happens when we compare certain groups. Policy makers should be careful about the comparability of scores when deciding on curriculum, resources or training based on comparing test scores.

The aim of this study was Review of the latest theoretical developments and qualitative methodology,.the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education was evaluated. Methods descriptive document content analysis and community where all 12 numbers recent (2016-2017).. In the field of international standing in Q 2 and H -index is 23. According to the position of research methods used in each of the papers, was divided into two categories: qualitative and Post qualitative. All articles are reviewed by census methodology, tools population were analyzed. For analysis of frequency be used in tables and graphs. The results showed that, among the methods of qualitative research, ethnography had the highest frequency. Also, a set of Post qualitative methods, including Difraction, photo-voice, poetic inquiry been used in the literature. In Iran the use of qualitative methods is gradually increased. Students and teachers in the statistical society have the highest percentages. Hence, in this area, the use of teachers and educators in innovative research methods can help to improve the adoption and application of new research.
