The main objective of this research was to determine the effect of systematic motivational counseling (SMC) method on university students'' academic achievement motivation and test anxiety. 30 students were randomly chosen and were divided into two control and intervention groups. Both groups responded to the inventory of school motivation and test anxiety questionnaires as the pretest. At first، 15 sessions of systematic motivational counseling were held for the intervention group and then both groups recompleted the mentioned questionnaires as the post test. After gathering the data، results were analyzed through statistical methods such as Analyzing Co-variance (ANCVOVA) and Multiple Analyzing Covariance (MANCOVA). Results indicated that SMC has increased the linear combination of depended variables (motivational anxiety) by 83/9% (F-64/936، P<0. 05). Moreover، SMC has increased the level of academic motivation to 73% (F-70. 182، P<0. 05) and has decreased test anxiety to 62% (F-43. 707، P<0. 05). According to the results، it could be concluded that Systematic Motivational Counseling (SMC) would have an effect on increasing the academic achievement motivation and decreasing test anxiety.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the prediction of academic achievement by five big personality traits. The sample included 609 students (308 girls and 301 boys) selected randomly from different high schools in Dezful city. Data collected by Five Factor Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI) (Costa& McCare، 1992). Academic achievement had a positive correlation with extraversion، agreeableness، conscientiousness and a negative correlation with neuroticism. Stepwise regression analysis showed that only neuroticism and openness in two steps could explain 5% of variance in academic achievement. The results were discussed in terms of the theory of personality.

Students as one of the basic elements of the university would organize the core body of different social organization in the future. This study was conducted to survey on attitude of students regarding to their educational principle in Ahvaz University of medical sciences. Therefore، it was a descriptive-analytic study and that was cross-sectional performed. Research Population was all students at Ahvaz University of medical sciences that have been passed at least one educational term. Base on sample setting formula، 331 persons were selected. Furthermore، sampling method was stratify-randomized and also based on proportion of population in faculty. Data was collected by questionnaire. The research findings showed that among factors impact on attitude of students regarding to their educational field، «social position of field» and «rate of its effecting personality and attitude of student» were allocated a higher score (37/6 & 37/9). Several factors and areas would effect on attitude of students regarding to their educational field.

The relative instruments consisted of CronBach’s alpha for questionnaires of knowledge management 92%، CronBach’s alpha of job incentive 84%، and CronBach’s alpha of job satisfaction questionnaire 89%. According to findings have been taken، knowledge management and related components (combination، socialization، and internalization aspect) demonstrated positive correlation with job incentive and career satisfaction. Moreover، the result of multiple regression analysis revealed dimensions such as combination، socialization، and internalization would have more effective role in the variance of job incentive and career satisfaction.

Furthermore، students in all departments stated that teaching methods were favorable. However، although educational facilities were considered favorable by the head of the department of Literature، the head of Educational planning had a relatively low a opinion of them. The majority of faculty members in both departments، on the other hand، regarded educational facilities as undesirable.

Good communication between physician and patients during history taking and examination could lead to the both patient and his family'' trust. Thus، examination، diagnosis، and treatment will be more precise and more accurate. The aim of this study was to investigate all sections of physicians’ communication with patients from the observer and patient’s view. This study was a descriptive – cross sectional study in 2013. In order to assess the physician’s communication skill، 3 criteria of the Evans’s questionnaire، two groups (physicians and their patients)، and two questionnaires were evaluated. First group (N=50) were specialists، general، residents، and interns، second group consisted 50of their patients were selected simple-randomly. Distribution of two questionnaires، observation، and interviews were conducted by the researcher. Data obtained with correlation coefficients spearman، descriptive، and inferential statistics were analyzed by SPSS 20. 0 software. The Evans’s checklist has three steps for examination (starting، implementing، and ending) through the present study; consequently، the first step (m=1. 84)، the second step (m=2. 20)، and third step (m=1. 89) were obtained from 3 points and final result was (m=1. 93). In total، the performance of physicians in communicating with their patients during visits was at intermediate level (m=1. 93) from both the observer and patients’ views. Moreover، according to their views، the most areas of deficit were at the beginning (m=1. 84) and then ending (m=1. 89) and during conducting of the interview (m=2. 20)، respectively. In the most parts، there was no consistent between observer’s and patient’s views. There are some deficiencies in physicians’ communication skills during history taking and visits. Considering the importance of communication skills، teaching them before confronting real patients would be necessary in Clinical Skills Learning Center.
