Accordingly, the outcomes revealed adequate validity and reliability for the application of Technology Acceptance Model among participants. Perceived ease of use, usefulness about E-learning, students’ attitudes toward E-learning, and the intention to use E-learning were the factors that affect E-learning’s acceptance and actual positively use. Considering the fact that attitudes toward E-learning had more predictive power than other variables of technology acceptance model, emphasis on students’ favorable attitudes toward E-learning can be effective in accelerating its acceptance and leadsto improve students' learning outcomes.

Satisfaction with education is known as one of the indicators for measuring the quality of learning and teaching students. Furthermore, perception of the classroom environment and motivation for academic achievement are among the factors that affect students’ academic satisfaction. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of perception of classroom’s situation and motivation for academic achievement in predicting students' academic satisfaction. Hence, the research method was a descriptive correlational study. In addition, the statistical population of this study consisted of all students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2018-2019, and so 400 students were selected by cluster sampling according to Morgan sample estimation table. To collect the data, the questionnaire of Turkzadeh and Mohtaram’s Academic Satisfaction, Hermes academic achievement motivation, and Fraser’s et al. perception of Classroom environment. were used. Then, data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. According to the results, it showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between perception of classroom environment and its components and motivation for academic achievement with academic satisfaction (P <0.05). Moreover, there was a positive and significant relationship between academic achievement motivation and academic satisfaction (P <0.05, r = 0.20). On the other hand, the results of regression analysis showed that the variables of perception of classroom environment and its components and motivation for academic achievement can predict changes in students' academic satisfaction. Therefore, perceptions of classroom environment and motivation for academic achievement play an important role in students' academic satisfaction in education.

The purpose of this study was to model the relationship between achievement goals, components of motivational beliefs (self-efficacy, intrinsic evaluation, and test anxiety) and academic procrastination by mediating self-regulated learning strategies among graduate students. In the present correlational study, 382 postgraduate students at the Research Sciences University responded to Solomon and Ruth Bloom's academic procrastination questionnaire, Middleton and Miguel's (2000) Achievement Questionnaire, and Pinterich and Digrovit's MSLQ (1990) motivational beliefs. In this study, in order to test the structural relationships in the given model, the statistical method of modeling structural equations of partial least squares was used with Smart PLS software. After data analysis, the results indicated that all fit indices were fitted to the collected data. Moreover, the results showed that the direct effect of self-efficacy, mastery goals, and internal evaluation on academic procrastination was negative and significant; whereas the direct effect of avoidance, tendency and test anxiety on academic procrastination was positive and significant. In addition, the direct effect of motivational beliefs and achievement goals on self-regulated learning strategies, and also the effect of self-regulated learning strategies on academic procrastination were significant. The indirect effect of motivational beliefs and mastery goals on academic procrastination through self-regulation learning strategies was significant; although, the indirect effect of tendency and avoidance goals on procrastination mediated self-regulation strategies was not significant. As a result, the outcomes of this study showed that cognitive and motivational factors play an important role in predicting academic procrastination, therefore, appropriate strategies can be provided to reduce procrastination with regard to these factors.

The results of previous research showed that the trust culture facilitated school health, collaboration, student achievement, and school effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that make and develop the trust culture in Tehran schools in 2017-2018 and also was carried out in a qualitative method of a phenomenological type. The sample included 24 experts who were purposefully selected and interviewed with semi-structured questions so that the data gathered based on theoretical saturation. Hence, the “NVivo 10” software was used to analyze the data. Then, findings indicated that four factors played the most effective roles in the teachers' trust culture in schools including:  "awareness" was in the first place, "constructive interactions", "moral characteristics", "enabling structure", respectively. Therefore, all the identified factors must be developed in a coordinated way to grow the culture of trust in schools: in other word, achieving to teachers' trust culture requires the educational system carefully planned and intended to the needs of the community.

One of the methods that teachers used to formative assessment is the short term test or quiz. There are many conflictions about the effectiveness of quiz on student learning. On the other hand, the physic course has not been desired in different medical students’ viewpoints especially health students, hence to succeed in this lesson, it requires more continuous study. In the present study, the effectiveness of quizes to increase the final score were evaluated by short tests with appropriate questions at the proper time. The teaching topics for all classes were divided into 2 equal parts in terms of the volume and difficulty. The last score was divided equal between midterm and final. Until the midterm exam, short term exam was taken from the previous content every session; after midterm, there was no quiz until the end of the semester. The mean levels of midterm and final scores were compared by t-test (p <0.05). The t-test results showed in all health physics class the midterm scores were significantly higher than the final. Finally, the study findings showed the effectiveness of short test on increasing the physics’ final score in the health students. Perhaps if the course or the fields of students be changed, this results may not be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to perform this study in different courses and fields.

The present study, as a text analysis study, aimed to determine the most commonly used academic words in Nursing and Midwifery studies. Analyzing a collection of 7759635 words extracted from 1939 articles from the top 10 journals in the fields of Nursing and Midwifery, 894 widely academic words were obtained, which accounted for about 16.89% of the words used in the entire corpus. This list of academic words included useful and practical words that students, researchers and professors of Nursing and Midwifery needed for English studying and publishing articles. The results of this study showed that the list of field-oriented words in the area of medical sciences strengthened and enhanced the linguistic and written knowledge of non-English students. The educational implications and suggestions presented as the result of study can help teachers, researchers, providers and responsibles of educational content, and Nursing and Midwifery students.

Coronavirus 19, which has been reported in Wuhan, China since late 2019, has imposed restrictions on many activities, including attending universities and classrooms. To this end, e-learning has replaced face-to-face training in medical sciences in many countries, including Iran. This type of education also needs to evaluate the quality and extent of its application in the post-corona period, so we decided to conduct a study to determine the views of students as direct beneficiaries of e-learning in this regard. This descriptive-correlationalstudy was performed on all the students of the Student Committee for Education Development of Medical Universities in the academic year 1399-1399, of which a sample of 127 people were included in the census. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that was used after validation and reliability. Descriptive statistical indicators were used to describe and explain closed-ended questions and the content analysis method for open-ended questions was used to analyze the data.  The sum of opinions of e-learning learners shows that the main problem of e-learning in the country's medical universities is structural problems and issues in the field of bandwidth and low Internet speed, lack of e-learning culture and lack of essential skills of professors and students in Applying this type of training. Therefore, providing empowerment platforms for people along with providing software and hardware infrastructure is important in using this method as a complementary training in medical sciences.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of satisfaction and familiarity of undergraduate speech therapy students with clinical education in the presence of treatment team in people with cleft lip and palate. The population of this interventional Quasi Exerimental study was 29 speech therapy students. In the first group there were 17 students who spent their internship outside the cleft lip and palate clinic and without getting familiar with team work and in the second group there were 12 students who spent their internship in cleft lip and palate clinic and got familiar with team work. At the end of the course, the degree of student’s satisfaction and familiarity was examined by the researcher-made questioner. The result showed that the mean score of satisfaction and familiarity from team therapy was more in the second group and had significant difference with the first group. (p-value≤0.000). According to resent result, in order to increase student's familiarity from treatment team, increase quality and strengthen the communication and cognitive skills, it is recommended to use team attendance approach in student's clinical education.

Following the outbreak of Covid 19 disease, face-to-face training became virtual training. Creating a gap between students and educational centers and students not interacting with professors and peers to meet educational needs, the need to create a student support system shows more than ever. Therefore, we decided to conduct a study with the aim of designing, implementing, evaluating and redesigning a peer student support system (mentoring, ticketing, formative evaluation, and empowerment and content management) in education and implementing it within the academic system "SEPAND" (Student Network Support System) in Covid 19 Crisis. After analyzing the situation and drawing the SWOT model, the proposed system was designed by the design working group and then the system was validated by experts through interviews. The model was implemented in four areas and to measure students' satisfaction with the system, a researcher-made questionnaire was made electronically. They were placed. Preliminary results showed that students were satisfied with this student support system. The system was made available to all students of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences after the approval of the Virtual Education Council.

Serious games are designed for non-entertainment purposes that teach information to the user in a competitive environment and allow players to learn new skills. The purpose of this study is to review and evaluate the initial educational game "PharmQuiz" which is designed as an educational aid tool in the introductory internship course. This game consists of matchmaking and a puzzle, includes all the topics of the introductory internship course and includes information about each drug such as generic name, brand name, dosage form, indication, category and sub-category of drug. After a surveying the professors, the game was designed and the flowcharts was completed, then game modeling and other required objects were done. After completing the modeling, the design and implementation of the game was done with Java and C # programming language, at the same time, scientific content was collected from reputable pharmacy sources and delivered to the programming group. Following the work, the game interface was designed and debugging and troubleshooting of game parts was done. Finally, the scientific content was uploaded to the game. A survey of professors and students was conducted the majority of whom agreed that the game application could be a useful tool to help learn medication information, and students wanted to continue this process in other courses. Due to the high popularity of students, the game application can continue as a new and effective method in various fields and at the university level.

After the Covid-19 epidemic and the problem of students attending classes, especially practical courses that are generally not available to online system which require physical presence at the school, hence the need to use new technologies for e-learning and distance learning was further considered. Therefore, in order to provide appropriate and qualified laboratory courses in medical parasitology and also to see the diagnostic slides of different parasites, we developed a mobile game-based software which enabled students to move virtually in the laboratory and view different diagnostic slides. The results showed that educational concepts, including detection of the parasite slides as well as theoretical concepts related to each can be provided to students through smartphone’ game-based software. In terms of user experience, this tool seems to be easy to use for people who are already familiar with the environment of field games and field movement, however, for people unfamiliar with how to control the space of environmental games, it seems somewhat strange and complex.
