Implementing any educational curriculum depends on factors that ensure the success of it. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the implementation of the technical and vocational education curriculum in Australian schools; it has two stages.

The research method is qualitative and has been done in two stages: In the first one, inductive qualitative content analysis method was used to identify the success factors of technical and vocational curriculum in Australia, and in the second stage, Delphi method was used to validate the identified components. The study population in the first stage were research articles, dissertations and documents of the Australian Technical and Vocational Education System, in which 28 selected documents were considered as purposefully samples and in the second stage, 11 elites were purposefully selected for the Delphi group from among the faculty members of the Department of Educational Sciences in Iranian and Australian universities with a background in research on technical and vocational education. In this study, first the selected documents were analyzed and in three coding stages, the main components were extracted by the researcher using Maxqda software and then these components were validated by the members of the Delphi group using an online questionnaire.

The findings showed that in the most important factors affecting the implementation of technical and vocational education curriculum were identified in three main themes: technical factors (access and participation, quality, curriculum elements, employee commitment, information and equipment), political factors (goal setting, relationship with industry, budget, support, inter-organizational interaction and relationship with higher education) and cultural factors (community awareness, positive attitude, parent recognition, incentive schemes and alternative paths to higher education). Recognizing the success factors of Australia in the implementation of technical and vocational education curriculum in secondary schools, for the Iranian education system to improve the quality of formal technical and vocational curricula contains valuable points.

In the last two decades, the concept of entrepreneurial university has seriously attracted the attention of experts and theorists in the field of higher education. The entrepreneurial university uses the potentials available in the university to develop and strengthen entrepreneurship, which is a solution to overcoming employment and economic problems. The purpose of this study was to design an entrepreneurial university model by utilizing Gibb's model and decision-making techniques at a technical and vocational university.

This applied study was a descriptive-survey type that was implemented in 1401 by utilizing the opinions of five managers of Kermanshah technical and vocational university. In order to develop the entrepreneurial university model, the model presented by Gabe was chosen in 2012 due to its validity and comprehensiveness. The data collection tool was pairwise comparison questionnaires, which were used to validate face validity and structural validity, and DEMATEL decision-making techniques and interpretive structural modeling were used for data analysis.

The results showed that six dimensions “organizational structure and plan”, “multi-disciplinary and supra-disciplinary”, “the power of penetration and use of diverse resources”, “graduates”, “internationalization” and “entrepreneurial education and investment education” had a causal role among the examined dimensions. Also, the remaining five dimensions, i.e. dimensions “vision, strategy and mission of the university”, “governance and administration of the university”, “management of stakeholders and community values”, “knowledge transfer” and “center for risk financing and growth in university-derived”, had a handicap role. In addition, it was found that the power of penetration and use of diverse resources is an independent variable that has a high penetration rate and affects all dimensions, and center for risk financing and growth in university-derived was identified as the dependent variable and the most effective dimension. In the end, it was suggested that in order to become an entrepreneurial university, a technical and vocational university should seek to earn income from various non-budgetary and non-tuition sources in addition to government revenues. In addition, the Ministry of Science should choose people who are entrepreneurs or who are bound to the entrepreneurial policies, visions and missions of the government and universities for the purpose of governance and administration of the university.

The purpose of the current research is to identify the components of national identity in primary school textbooks with an emphasis on the document of the fundamental transformation of education and the document of the national curriculum. Considering the important role of education institution and curriculum in strengthening the national identity of students, the research problem is to know the components of national identity in the upstream documents of education and primary school textbooks.

In this research, thematic analysis method was used to analyze the text of the upstream documents and textbooks. The sample examined in this study includes social studies textbooks and heavenly gifts. These books have been chosen because they are the most capable of carrying the concepts of national identity. The unit of analysis (recording) in this research is the theme, image, map, and the unit of context is textbooks. In this research, 150 concepts, 30 subcategories and 9 categories were extracted from the text of textbooks. To determine the validity of the qualitative content analysis method with an inductive approach (theme analysis) in the current research, the books and upstream documents were reviewed in two stages, one after 10 to 50% of the categorizations were completed and the second time at the end of the work.

According The results of the research, The most important components that were identified in the books of the second year of elementary school (for social studies and heavenly gifts, respectively) for national identity are: introduction of different cultures, history and identity of ethnic groups, introduction of cultural heritage; Introducing celebrities, reflecting the style of coverage of ethnic groups and regions; Languages of Iranian ethnic groups in textbooks, religious and religious pluralism, religious and religious pluralism, introduction of celebrations and holidays and religious rituals of all ethnic groups and regions. Based on the results of this research, planners can make policies based on elements of national identity and provide appropriate content in Textbooks should strengthen national identity in primary school students and make them feel belonging to the homeland.

The relationship between university and industry and consequently their effects on innovation processes have long been analyzed in various scientific communities. The importance of this connection has caused some of the documents of the Islamic Republic of Iran to refer to it. According, one of the most important steps in the recent policy of the Ministry of Science of Iran doing the compulsory sabbatical related to the industry for newly recruited faculty members in higher education organizations and research institutes. Thus, the present study tried to explain the recent policy of the Ministry of Science, based on an institutional perspective.

To achieve this, 17 faculty members of universities and research institutes in Iran who were faced with this policy, as main beneficiaries by intensity case sampling method and according to the theoretical saturation of the data was selected. The tool of the study was a semi-structured interview. To analyze the interviews, we used the Colaizzi content analyze and to examine the validity of the research findings, the member checking method was used.

The Findings of the analysis showed that the policy in relation to the industry has faced some issues such as illegitimacy, coercion, consistency with the interests of policymakers, ignoring disciplinary differences, ignoring economic, sociology, and policy conditions. These issues indicate that the policy is based on the policy created in the oligarchic institutions.

This research was conducted with the aim of identifying and presenting the performance management model in universities and public higher education institutions of the country.

The method of conducting the current research is exploratory, and in terms of approach, it is mixed (quantitative-qualitative), it is considered mixed research. At the beginning of the work, in the qualitative part based on conducting semi-structured exploratory interviews with experts, dimensions and components were identified, and in the quantitative part, data was collected using a questionnaire. The participants in the qualitative part included 15 experts in the field of academic management and faculty members who were selected using a non-probability sampling method. In the quantitative part, the statistical population included managers and faculty members of higher education universities affiliated with the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, including 141 universities, which were sampled using the multi-stage cluster sampling method to determine the sample size from the table Morgan was used and 338 people were obtained. Due to the two parts of the research (qualitative and quantitative), the validity and reliability of the research tools were also discussed in two parts, so in the qualitative part, capability criteria (Goba and Lincoln, 2000) were used to measure the validity of qualitative data. From the point of view of validity, transferability, reliability, and verifiability, it was approved. Also, to calculate the reliability in this section, 5 interviews were selected as a sample and then each of them was re-conducted and coded at a specific time interval, Then the specified codes were compared with each other at the time intervals. The test-retest reliability of the conducted interviews was calculated to be 0.86, which shows the reliability of coding. In the quantitative part, content validity methods, convergent validity, and divergent validity tests were used to measure validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to measure reliability. Also, the method of data analysis in the qualitative part, using the theme analysis method, and in the quantitative part, the information in the questionnaires was coded and analyzed using statistical software Spss and Smart PLS, in two descriptive and inferential parts. In addition, the level of significance in all research hypotheses (0.5) has been considered.

The findings obtained from qualitative data analysis showed that the performance management model of universities and higher education institutions in the individual dimension has (3 main dimensions and 6 secondary dimensions) the job dimension has (2 main dimensions and 5 sub-dimensions) and organizational dimension with (2 main dimensions and 8 sub-dimensions) can explain performance management dimensions in universities and higher education institutions well. Besides, based on the quantitative results, among the 3 basic themes (independent variable) of the research model, the impact of the organizational dimension on individual performance has the highest variance of 0.729, followed by the job dimension on the individual with a variance of 0.571.

The current research was conducted with the aim of locating educational centers based on the main components of the strategic components of the educational system in one district of Kerman and predicting the student population.

The location of educational centers is an important issue in educational planning due to many urban issues. The purpose of this research was to determine the main components of the orientation of the educational system, predict the student population and locate educational units based on the mentioned components. The research method was descriptive-analytical and pre-population in the form of trend finding. The data was collected using the field method and using the synchronous system in education, and the data was created in AUTOCAD and ARCGIS software, and the necessary maps were extracted. The scope of the study was public schools of the first district of Kerman city in 2021.

The findings of the research showed that in the interviews with the assistants and educational experts, the main components in orientation for locating include migration, marginalization, growth and development of settlements, special schools, increase of technical schools compared to theoretical ones, educational coverage, access to school, compatibility with neighboring users and class density. Also, the student population in the elementary school of one district of Kerman in 2031 will face a relative decrease compared to the basic year of 1400, and in the first high school, theoretical, technical, and professional high school courses, we will face a relative increase in the student population. In locating, using the strategic components of the educational system, Buffering, map calculator and union in the GIS environment which is necessary to build the relevant schools in these areas in 2031. The results obtained regarding the increase of students up to the target year in the second year of high school, especially in technical and professional fields, show the role of the policy maker in guiding students to technical fields. Considering complex urban issues such as migration, marginalization, and the growth and development of settlements, it is suggested that more studies be conducted regarding the design of the conceptual model of urban issues in the direction of locating educational centers in Kerman.

This study aims to design and validate the optimal model of digital citizenship education curriculum with an integrated approach in high school. For this purpose, two main questions were investigated in this study: 1) what are the characteristics of integrated curriculum model of digital citizenship education in high school? 2) To what extent is the proposed model valid from the view point of experts?

The research method is mixed with the exploratory design which was done in two qualitative-quantitative parts. In the qualitative part, the model was designed and in the quantitative part, the model was validated by descriptive-survey method. In the qualitative section, all available texts and theoretical and research sources were reviewed. Also, 20 specialists in curriculum planning and, educational technology and digital experts, who were selected by purposive. Data validity was obtained through triangulation. Data collection tool was semi-structured interview and content analysis method was used for data analysis.

The findings were explained according to the Ecker model in the form of digital citizenship education curriculum components including logic, goals, content, learning opportunities, resources, teacher's role, time, space, grouping and evaluation.According to the research findings, program logic has considered the integration of digital citizenship issues in curricula. The target element referred to the three categories of digital citizenship ethics, digital citizenship literacy and digital citizenship skills in three dimensions of knowledge, skills and attitude. The content was presented in three sections: protection, education and respect and It was emphasized On the importance of active teaching approaches. Also the teacher was mentioned as a guide and facilitator. And the use of various sources was emphasized. In this curriculum design, time and place are flexible. Activities are done in small groups. In the evaluation section, variety of qualitative evaluation methods were continuously considered. Survey method was used to validate the efficiency. The validation results showed that from the viewpoint of curriculum studies and educational technology and digital experts. The proposed pattern was appropriate.

The mental vitality of students as one of the important components of positive psychology has positive and desirable consequences such as improving mental health, academic acheivement and improving the quality of academic life. Therefore, the current study was conducted with the aim of presenting a causal model of the relationship between perceptions of university well-being and students' subjective vitality with regard to the mediating role of achievement goals among the students of Payam Noor Jahrom University.

This research is descriptive in terms of correlation type and in terms of practical purpose. For this purpose, 324 students (214 females, 110 males) of Payame Noor students were selected by relative stratified sampling method and a self-report questionnaire consisting of university welfare subscales (Kanyo, Ellen, Lintonen, Rimpla, 2002), subjective vitality (Ryan and Frederick 1997), and progress goals (Middleton and Migley 1997). In addition, the reliability of the scales was checked and confirmed based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient. In order to analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis method were used by LISREL software.

The finding showed that the components of university well-being (university conditions, social relations, self-fulfillment methods, health status) indirectly and negatively affect the students' mental vitality through the mediation of the components of avoidance-performance goals, performance approach goals Gives. On the other hand, based on the results, the university welfare variable indirectly and positively affects mental vitality through mediation of mastery goals. According to the findings, the most direct effect on students' mental vitality is related to the variable of avoidance-performance goals, and the most indirect effect on students' subjective vitality is related to self-actualization methods. The study of fitness indicators showed that the proposed research model is relatively good. Based on these findings, paying attention to the components of the university's well-being can provide the background for students' tendency towards consistent patterns of academic goal selection, and as a result, the basis for improving the mental vitality of students is provided.

The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the components of general human capital development of university faculty members.

To do this, a mixed method by qualitative-quantitative was used. The statistical population included all faculty members of universities and research institutes in Tehran, 13 of whom were selected through purpose sampling. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews with experts were analyzed by inductive content analysis and three-stage coding. Participant members' control method and peer feedback were used to ensure credibility. Also, to ensure reliability, the agreement method between the coders and Cohen's Kappa test were used. In the quantitative part, Shannon entropy method was used to determine the importance and priority of the obtained dimensions and components.

The results of the qualitative part of the research show 106 key indicators, and 17 axial dimensions in the form of five main components of general human capital development of faculty members, including; Improvement in the extent and appropriateness of cognitive competencies, improvement in the extent and appropriateness of meta cognitive competencies, improvement in the extent and appropriateness of bio-emotional competencies, improvement in the extent and appropriateness of communication-social competencies and improvement in the extent and appropriateness of Cultural and spiritual education competencies, were categorized and presented. Based on the results of Shannon entropy test, respectively, the main components of improvement in the amount and appropriateness of cognitive competencies, improvement in the extent and appropriateness of communication-social competencies, improvement in the extent and appropriateness of meta cognitive competencies, improvement in the extent and appropriateness of Bio-emotional competencies, and improvement in the extent and appropriateness of cultural and spiritual education competencies, were the first to fifth priorities in the development of the general human capital of the faculty members. Also, the component of cognitive human capital development had the highest priority and the component of cultural and spiritual education human capital development had the lowest priority. Theoretical framework of general human capital development of faculty members in the present study provides a suitable scientific tool for planning the human capital development of faculty members. In the end, based on the research achievements, appropriate suggestions were presented.

The low teamwork and groupwork skills of graduates, as well as the low quality of some theses and dissertations, are among the issues that Iran's higher education is facing. It is argued that the proper implementation of group dissertation not only improves the quality of theses and dissertations, but also develops teamwork and groupwork skills in students. Therefore, it prepares students for workplace better. Considering the significance of the subject, the purpose of the study is to investigate the requirements for successful implementation of group dissertation in Iran's universities.

This study is applied research and its approach is qualitative approach which uses Phenomenology Method to conduct the research. In this study, the tools of "Documentary Research" and "Semi-Structured Interview" were used to collect data. The contents of documents and interviews were analyzed using Thematic Analysis. Accordingly, to interpret the qualitative data and keep the validity of research findings, “Exploration by the Subjects” and “Continuity of Evidence” have been taken into consideration.

dissertation group is a form of group research in which each student is still responsible for writing his dissertation or thesis. By participating in a group of 3 or 4 students, a student writes his dissertation or thesis richer, more regular, and faster. Results of this study reveal that there are eighteen requirements for the successful implementation of dissertation group in Iran's universities, which are divided into five levels as follows: requirements at individual level (knowledge requirements, skill requirements and disposition/attitude requirements), requirements at dissertation group level (cultural requirements, educational/ administrative requirements, financial requirements, and legal requirements), requirements at the higher education institute level (cultural requirements, educational/ administrative requirements, financial requirements, and legal requirements), requirements at national level (cultural requirements, educational/ administrative requirements, economic requirements, political requirements and financial requirements), requirements at international level (educational/administrative requirements and economic requirements). According to these requirements, the successful implementation of group dissertation requires the provision of suitable individual, group, institutional, national, and international contexts because there are close relationships among theses contexts. The impact of national and international contexts is that if competency-oriented as well as national and international competitions prevail in a country, organizations and companies must be equipped with efficient specialists, working teams, and working groups to stay in the competitive. In this circumstances, organizations and companies also put pressure on higher education institutes to educate efficient graduates who have the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions, including teamwork and groupwork skills.

Today, many organizations and companies face increasingly stable and uncertain competition, which has been intensified by technological innovations, changing market environments, and changing customer needs. It is in this context that outsourcing the activities of the organization is considered as an executive necessity and an inevitable strategy for organizations that has been considered in most countries over the past few decades. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify and prioritize outsourced educational activities in an organizational university.

The research method was mixed. This study had a sampling method, purposive criterion-oriented, snowball and simple random. Was identified and given to the second group of experts (13 people). In order to identify the main educational activities, after studying the upstream documents, the relevant questionnaire was designed and provided to 35 education experts, experts and professors. In the quantitative part, a researcher-made couple questionnaire was purposefully distributed among a group of experts and experts in university education to make a multi-criteria MADM multi-criteria decision and activities were prioritized using Top Sis and Shannon entropy methods.

The results introduced 5 criteria as the final criteria, which include decentralization of educational activities, focus on the implementation of educational strategies, maintaining and promoting organizational values, improving financial status (revenue generation, financial savings, etc.) and accelerating the implementation of processes and activities. Were educational and 43 non-core activities in 4 areas, needs assessment and feasibility, planning, implementation and evaluation and monitoring were organized and according to the criteria, 13 training activities for outsourcing were introduced. The design of "trainings required by professors and trainers" in the field of needs assessment was the main priority in four criteria, "software and hardware configuration of the comprehensive education system" in the field of planning was a priority of three criteria and "proper holding of theoretical and practical classes" was the main priority of two criteria. "Identification of barriers to the optimal performance of training staff" by all five criteria is one of the main priorities for outsourcing

One of the new educational phenomena at the global level for gifted students is the hybrid homeschooling which emphasizes the increase of parents' involvement in education. The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the factors that facilitate the use of hybrid homeschooling model in the Iranian educational system and in order to provide a new approach in the education of gifted students.

This study is exploratory and qualitative in terms of its purpose, and it is of a qualitative type that uses the grounded theory method. The scope of this research included all books and articles (1990-2021) related to parental involvement in education and homeschooling model. The participants in this research were 10 specialists in the field of psychology and educational sciences in Isfahan city in 2022, who were selected by purposeful and theoretical sampling. Data collection and semi-structured interviews were used. Data analysis was done based on Strauss and Corbin (1998) model and three stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding. In the field of reliability, the method of matching members and pluralism was used, and in the field of verifiability, peer review and feedback were used.

The results of the research show 64 basic concepts, 13 core categories and 3 optional categories under the title of joint responsibility and trust of parents, joint responsibility and trust of students and joint responsibility and trust of teacher and school, which was organized in the form of Facilitating factors. Considering the facilitating factors of the hybrid homeschooling model, it is suggested to pay attention to this educational approach and use it for gifted students in the centralized educational system of Iran.
