Academic vitality is one of the important variables in academic achievement, which is influenced by several factors. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of modeling academic vitality based on meta-cognitive beliefs by mediating perceptions of classroom environment in students.

The research design was a correlation research based on the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female students of the 10th and 11th grade students of Fereydoun Nazarard in the academic year 98-97. 342 students were selected by stratified random sampling. To collect data, the study was conducted by Hussein Chari and Dehghanizadeh (1391) Wales meta cognitive beliefs (1997) and Jennetry et al. (2002) used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM).

The results of the findings showed that the research model is fit and 35% academic vitality can be explained by metacognitive beliefs and perceptions of the classroom environment. Also, there was a significant negative correlation between metacognitive beliefs and academic vitality, and there was a significant positive correlation between perception of classroom environment and academic vitality.

The results of this study indicate the importance of the role of meta-cognitive beliefs and perceptions of the classroom environment in predicting studentschr(chr('39')39chr('39')) academic vitality. Regarding the results, implementing programs to improve meta-cognitive beliefs and enhancing the correct perception of classroom environments in students can help improve and increase academic vitality.

The purpose of the present study was to develop a causal model of academic satisfaction based on academic self-confidence and academic optimism mediated by cognitive strategies among male students.

The research method was correlational descriptive type. The statistical population included male high school students in Hamedan in the academic year 2019-2020. The sample size consisted of 338 persons which were selected randomly through two-stage cluster sampling method. The research tools included Lent et al satisfaction questionnaire, Azadichrs academic self-confidence, Tschannen‐Moran et al Academic Optimism Scale, and Karamichrs meta-cognitive strategies. Data were, then analyzed by means of structural equation modeling approach.

The findings obtained from statistical analysis showed that there was a significant causal relationship between academic self-confidence and academic optimism with metacognitive strategies and academic satisfaction. It was also found that the causal relationship between metacognitive strategies and academic satisfaction was significant.

Finally, the results emphasized the mediating role of metacognitive strategies in establishing the relationship between these variables. Based on the findings, it is suggested to use metacognitive strategies, academic self-confidence and academic optimism to increase studentschracademic satisfaction.

Medical students due to the difficulty of the lessons and future job sensitivity need to academic buoyancy and sometimes experiencing academic burnout. As a result, the aim of this research was determine the effectiveness of schema therapy on academic buoyancy and academic burnout of medical students.

This research was a semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. Research population was medical students of Birjand University of medical sciences in 2017-18 academic years. Research sample was 40 people that selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two equal groups. The experimental group trained 8 sessions of 90 minutes by schema therapy and the control group didn’t receive any training. To collect data used from the questionnaires of academic buoyancy and academic burnout. Data analyzed with using of SPSS-19 software and by method of multivariate analysis of covariance.

The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the variables of academic buoyancy and academic burnout. In other words, schema therapy led to increase the academic buoyancy and decrease the academic burnout of medical students (P<0/001).

The results indicate the effectiveness of schema therapy in improving the academic buoyancy and academic burnout. Therefore, it is suggested to counselors and education experts that to increase the academic buoyancy and decrease the academic burnout of students especially medical students use from the schema therapy method.

One of the contexts that can play an important role in teaching and learning is educational simulation. Given the benefits of this technology, the present study investigates the impact of chemistry education using educational simulation on the spatial ability and problem solving skills of tenth grade female students in Tehran.

This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of all 10th grade female students in district 2 of Tehran city (1310 students) in the academic year 97-98. 60 of them (30 experimental group) and 30 control group were selected by convenience sampling method. were chosen. The research tools included a combination of two tests of the spatial ability of Montana and Paul Newton and Helen Bristol and a researcher-made problem solving test.

Findings showed that after controlling for pre-test effects, there was a significant difference in spatial ability between the two experimental and control groups. Therefore, it can be said that educational simulation was effective on studentschr('39') spatial ability and problem solving skills. In mental rotation, spatial perception and spatial visualization, there was a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups, so it can be said that educational simulation was also effective in improving the components of studentschr('39') spatial ability.

The results of the present study showed that the use of simulation in chemistry instruction affects the students chr('39')spatial ability and problem solving ability and increases the studentschr('39') ability to solve the problem of chemistry.

 Even though the nursing internship course has designed to promote clinical competence, increase self-confidence, achieve independence and, facilitate the role transition from a student to a clinical nurse, this course is not useful. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the level of responsibility for nursing internship students, from studentschr('39') viewpoints, instructors, and hospital personnel.

 It was a descriptive cross-sectional study with 30 students, 30 hospital staff, and ten instructors in Kerman in 2018. A simple random sampling method used. The data gathering tool was a demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on the level of responsibility provided from the viewpoints of hospital staff, instructors, and students, which used after the psychometric test. Data analysis performed using descriptive analysis.

 The results of this study from the viewpoints of personnel, students, and instructors showed that most staff cared for the patient due to the lack of adequate studentschr('39') skills. Therefore, students were involved in the care of the patients who were taken care of by the personnel themselves. The only care provided by the student was control of the vital signs.

 If clinical education of the nursing internship course followed by the involved responsibility and skills of students, nursing students will achieve occupational autonomy.

Internationalization of higher education is an active and creative response towards the globalization phenomenon. The process of internationalization according to national upper documents in the country is assigned as a priority and necessity. The objective of the study is to design and evaluate the model of internationalizing higher education in the state universities of medical sciences.

Study was performed using a mixed method. In the qualitative section, through grounded theory the review of texts and the semi-structured interviews with 20 experts of the international model were designed and in the quantitative section of the validity and fit of the model, completed a questionnaire by 124 people The experts have been identified through structural equation modelling analysis.

The internationalization model of higher education in medical universities, there are 16 main factors and 71 sub factors, the main factors include 8 conditional factors (governance- management of university – faculty member-information technology-language and culture-structure of university- management of human resources- management of physical and financial resources), 4 process factors (government function- management of international affairs- international education, and international research) and 4 outcome factors (country development, university development, students and graduated students, organizational sublimit of the university). In quantitative section, the results of first and secondary factor analysis showed that mentioned 16 factors have sufficient load factor to predict the model. The indexes of fitness measurement of final model showed that Chi-square ratio to the degree of freedom (CMIN/DF) equals 2.068. Furthermore, the value of the index of square root of reminder squares mean (RMSE(, equals 0.057.

Considering the importance of teaching and treatment in educational hospitals and their impact on each other and the importance of the therapeutic and teaching role of the assistants in educational hospitals, the quality of training of specialist assistants has been influenced by this project. The purpose of this study is Identification and Explaining of  Affecting Factors Qquality of Residents Education in the Healthcare Transformation Plan System.

This qualitative study was performed with qualitative content analysis in spring of 1398 on 24 managers, faculty members and medical assistants of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences by purposeful sampling method until reaching to the theoretical saturation and confidentiality of the data was carried out. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews, organized, categorized, and analyzed by MAXQDA10 software.

The data were extracted based on three main axes of treatment burden, clinical education, and process monitoring. Furthermore the data were also extracted based on 9 axis of treatment priority of treatment on education, increasing the number of patients, professional ethics (medical error, satisfaction), the skills of assistants, teacher-assistant teaching, theoretical  training, management weakness and  expertise of the project, the lack of proper separation of the budget, the time of education, treatment, and  research, the lack of allocation of resources and facilities

The findings of this study indicate that the quality of medical education in the implementation of the health  system reform plan has been influenced in three aspects treatment burden, clinical education, and process monitoring. Regarding to these issues it is necessary to pay attention to the medical education of specialized residents in educational hospitals in the next step of implementation this plan or such plans is necessary.

Undesirable teachings or curriculum prepare the ground for training unqualified people Among these, improving available curriculum are very significant. The present study aims to analyze scrap learning dimensions in technical and vocational training (work & knowledge branch) senior high schools. The study uses a qualitative approach. 

The present study was qualitative in nature and in terms of the type of study it was content analysis. To achieve the experts’ consensus a semi-structured interview through a snowball sampling technique was used. Theoretical saturation was found during the 11th interview. Having used a qualitative content analysis technique, the researchers encoded the data obtained from the interviews and elicited the model and dimensions of scrap learning dimensions by using MAXQDA 12.

The proposed model includes such dimensions and components as content (knowledge, skill, attitude), structural characteristics (professionalism, protectionism, concentration, formality, politicization, complexity), educational context (educational facilities, educational aids, financial resources, communication network, educational environment), learners’ characteristics (motivational ability, mental ability, cognitive ability, technical ability, the ability to achieve a goal), instructors’ characteristics (creativity, scientific ability, motivational ability, personality trait) and educational processes (inappropriate need assessment, designing, implementation, evaluation).  

Findings of the study indicate that there are a variety of dimensions and components which create and form the scrap learning. This type of curriculum can exist partially in all educational courses and levels ranging from work and knowledge high schools to higher education, even medical sciences.
