By implementing real and necessary skills derived from divine teachings, a peaceful life can be provided for anxious modern men. This study was conducted with the aim of rethinking the content of the life skills curriculum by Islamic education specialists for sixth grade students.

The current research is based on the use of a mixed method, including qualitative (conventional content analysis) and quantitative methods. The participants in the qualitative part were specialists in Islamic education, and the sample size was obtained through the snowball method with the participation of 17 people with the theoretical saturation of information. The second statistical population was comprised of 33 curriculum specialists who were selected through the Cochran formula. The opinion of the first group was received through a deep, semi-structured interview, and then the data was summarized and analyzed in three stages of coding. In the second group, information was gathered with a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software with the one-sample t method. The quantitative validity was obtained in the form of face validity, and the reliability coefficient was found using Cronbach's method. At the end, the relevant designed model was approved and validated by specialists.

A desirable model of Islamic life skills curriculum content with 18 main and central categories was obtained.

The content should be provided for every student based on all dimensions of human existence, the realities of the living environment (differences, cultural and religious conditions), in order to create and strengthen national unity, with the help of local and oral literature and in a practical way instead of merely non-functional theoretical skills and with a balanced view of this world and the hereafter, with an artistic and aesthetic approach.

The general purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the organizational health of schools and human health with the academic vitality of female students in second grade high schools in east of Gilan province.

The current research was conducted using a correlational method, in which human health and organizational health were considered as predictor variables and academic vitality was considered as a criterion variable. The statistical population of this research included all the female students of the second grade high schools in east of Gilan province, numbering 10392 people. According to the table of Krejcie and Morgan, 373 people were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling method. To collect data, three researcher-made human health questionnaires (Hedayati et al., 2021) with a reliability of 0.96, a standard organizational health questionnaire by Hoy and Feldman (1997) with a reliability of 0.91, and an academic vitality questionnaire (Dehghanizadeh et al., 2014) ) were used with a reliability of 0.80, which had good validity and reliability. The obtained data were analyzed using spss software. At the descriptive and inferential level, the K-S test was used for the normality of the data and the Pearson correlation coefficients and step-by-step regression were used to test the research hypotheses.

The findings of this research indicated that there is a direct relationship between predictor and criterion variables in this research.

As a result, it can be said that there is a relationship between the organizational health of schools and the human health of students with their academic vitality, so that if organizational health in schools and human health in students increases, students' academic vitality will also increase.

Academic progress is very necessary because of what is considered the future of students in the path of choosing the right job, success in the path of life, as well as appropriate service to a country. Therefore, this research has been conducted with the aim of designing a model of social and cultural factors affecting the academic progress of students.

The participants included 129 managers of the education organization and working and retired teachers in Fars province, who were selected through a cluster random sampling method. The research method used was a mixed qualitative (meta-composite approach) and quantitative (descriptive-correlation) method. After compiling the effective categories, 4 teaching-learning factors, socio-economic conditions, individual factors and performance goals, psychological indicators were determined as the effective indicators of the model of social and cultural factors affecting the academic progress of students. Validity was acceptably confirmed in both qualitative and quantitative methods. In the meta-composite approach, reliability was confirmed based on the Lincoln and Guba indices (1985) and in the preliminary study of the quantitative part, it was also confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficients. In order to analyze the findings of this study in the qualitative part, document analysis (with an emphasis on related internal and external studies) was implemented and in the quantitative part, descriptive statistics (demographic indicators using SPSS software) and inferential statistics (resulting from structural equation modeling criteria with the software Smart PLS) was used.

The results indicated that teaching-learning, socio-economic conditions and psychological indicators had a significant effect on the academic progress of students. However, the effects of individual factors and performance goals on the academic progress of students in Fars province were not confirmed.

Therefore, it seems that teaching and learning, along with paying attention to the economy in education and also strengthening some of the most important psychological characteristics, can play a vital role in the formulation and formation of a social and cultural society model that is effective on the progress of students in Fars province.
