The article deals with the problems of profession-oriented training at Pedagogical University. The authors show the major perspectives on more profession-oriented training of future teachers that are opening in cooperation between Pedagogical University and educational institutions of different types within the framework of university-supervised chairs. The experience of Omsk State Pedagogical University in such cooperation is studied[1] to find out what profession-oriented educational technologies are mostly wide-spread in the work of university-supervised chairs and what their contribution to practice-oriented training is. The authors analyze the reports given by the university-supervised chairs at the end of the year, narratives and interviews with school teachers and university lecturers. The problems and perspectives of using profession-oriented educational technologies are also discussed in the article. To conclude with, innovative profession-oriented educational technologies (project seminar, clinical supervision, action research) are recommended for further work within the framework of university-supervised chairs.

The purpose of this study was to explain the mediating role of talent management in the relationship between organizational culture and attitudes to organizational change. This study was of an applied-correlative type. The statistical community included all the employees of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Using a Stratified random sampling method and according to Cochran, 300 subjects were chosen as the statistical samples. To collect the research data, 3 standard questionnaires incorporating organizational culture, organizational change attitude, and talent management were applied. The validities and reliabilities of the questionnaires were confirmed using content validity and Cronbach's alpha (0/87, 0/83, and 0/89), respectively. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that talent management can have a mediating role between organizational culture and organizational change attitude. Also, the correlation coefficient between organizational culture with talent management, talent management with organizational change attitude and organizational culture with organizational change attitude was significant.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Reality Therapy Theory on self- harm behaviors and functions in high school students in Shiraz, Iran. A semi-experimental methodology with a pretest-posttest design and a control group was used. The statistical population included female high school  first-year students from (S) high school in Shiraz in the academic year of 2017-2018. The purposeful sampling method was used in this study where 30 students were randomly selected from among all high school first-year students studying in the specified school whose scores in the Self- Harm Behavior Questionnaire (SHBQ) ranged within the first three quarters. Participants were randomly assigned either to an experimental or a control group (15 participants in each group). The experimental group received eight minute training sessions based on the concepts of reality therapy. Klonsky  & Glenn’s (2011) self- harm questionnaire was used to collect data. At the level of descriptive statistics, the mean and standard deviation were used. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

The purpose of this study is to analyze the sixth grade science book based on the biological, physical, and technology areas proposed in the fundamental transformation document of the educational system using William Romey method. As a kind of "content analysis" research, it examines the desired content in terms of specific and predetermined criteria or indicators and measures everything with specified criteria; it is in fact an evaluation study. However, during this study on the criteria or indicators, descriptive research has been used. The research statistical population was the sixth grade science book in 2017-18. Findings revealed that the science books received less attention in the field of biological and physical areas but it has received more attention in the field of science and technology. Also the text involvement index in terms of biological and physical was very low, indicating that the text book has not been written in an active manner; on the other hand the involvement index of images showed that it has been written in an active manner. The involvement index in terms of question of and biological and physical was very high and according to William Romey question were provided in a desirable manner. William Romey according to the involvement index based on the science and technology showed that the text has been presented in an active manner, but the images and questions have not been presented in an active manner in terms of science and technology.
