The aim of this study was to compare the explicit and implicit associations of moral foundations in students with bullying behavior. The research method was descriptive and the statistical population included high school male students in first and second cycle in Tehran. 113 students from four high schools were selected by cluster available sampling method in the academic year of 1998-99. To collect data, the Illinois Bullying Questionnaire, the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (Hyatt and Graham, 2007) , and the Implicit Association Test for moral foundations (IAT) were used. Data were analyzed by using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that explicit associations in the ethical dimensions of care/harm and authority/subversion; and implicit associations in the dimensions of fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, and sanctity/degradation could predict bullying behavior with confidence (p≥ 0.0001). These results confirm the interaction of the explicit and implicit role of moral foundations in relation to bullying behavior and could be effective in better understanding and designing training, and psychological interventions.

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of compassion focused therapy (CFT) on academic resiliency and hopefulness in the academic procrastination of male students of the second degree of high school. This research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design. Using Martin's academic resiliency, Schneider and et al's hopefulness and Solomon and Ratilom's academic procrastination questionnaires, 28 procastinated male students of the second degree of high school were purposively selected and were randomly assigned into two experimental and control group. (each group: 14). The experimental group received 8 sessions of CFT based on Neff’s instruction package and the control group did not receive any training in this field. After conducting the CFT, academic resiliency, hopefulness and academic procrastination of the students of two groups were measured again. Data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) and univariate covariance analysis (ANCOVA). According to the posttest scores of calculated F either in the Mancova analysis and either in the Ancova analysis for acadmic resiliency, hopefulness and academic procrastination showed significant differences in both groups. The results of this research which are in accordance with other studies, showed that CFT has significant role in increasing academic resiliency and hopefulness and decreasing academic procrastination in the male students.

Developing a causal model of subjective well being based on academic resilience and mediating roles of teacher-student relationship, school climate and emotional adjustment is the main aim of this research. Subjective well-being is one of the important indicators of quality of life which is under the influence of many variables including biological, social, personality, occupational, etc. The statistical population consisted of all high school students in Urmia and participants were 350 students who were selected by multi-stage random sampling and responded to the questionnaire which was based on conceptual model. For fitting data with conceptual model, we used partial least square method (next generation of path modeling).Among the significant findings of this study, we can mention the direct effect of academic resilience on student teacher relationship, emotional adjustment, and school climate as well as the direct effects of emotional adjustment and teacher student relationship on subjective well being. In sum, the revised model of the present study could explain 30% of the variance of subjective well-being, which indicates the importance of the variables in the model.Among the significant findings of this study, we can mention the direct effect of academic resilience on student teacher relationship, emotional adjustment, and school climate as well as the direct effects of emotional adjustment and teacher student relationship on subjective well being.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of education based on multidimensional lesson planning on social skills and play behaviors of preschool children in Behshahr. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. 30 students (14 girls and 16 boys) from preschool students of Behshahr Rainbow Kindergarten in the academic year 1398 were selected by convenience sampling method and Randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups (15 people each). The experimental group received a multidimensional curriculum (based on our land learning package and what it's with an emphasis on rock and mountain project and soil project) in 16 sessions twice a week for 2 months. While this training was not provided to the members of the control group. Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The results showed that education based on multidimensional lesson planning has an effect on social skills and play behaviors of preschool children. The results also showed that multidimensional planning-based education caused 89. 5% change in social skills scores and 80. 2% change in preschool behaviors scores. Accordingly, it is suggested that due to the effectiveness of multidimensional lesson planning on social skills and behaviors during children's play, a suitable platform for access to public education in preschool educational centers be created.

Today, problem-Posing is one of the most important topics in mathematics education research. One of the challenges researchers face after investigating problem-posing skills and thinking processes is how to evaluate them. The present study investigates the content and methodology of these studies to determine their structure. This study presents a qualitative meta-analysis of the major frameworks that researchers have used to evaluate the posed problems in order to provide a comprehensive picture of these studies. To this purpose, 25 studies on evaluating Problem-Posing Skills were selected from 83 research studies conducted between 1994 and 2020 and analyzed descriptively and instrumentally. Students presenting a solution, adaptability, mathematical expression, linguistic knowledge and expression, solvability, quantity, and quality of data, Open-Ended and generalizable problems, solution strategies, and multiple solutions are among the nine common criteria identified by the meta-analysis findings. In addition, after reviewing the research, a framework with 11 criteria was created, with an emphasis on mathematical problem-posing and problem-solving. With the aid of generalizability theory, this framework has been validated by experts in mathematics and mathematics education, as well as teachers from all three grades, and has been evaluated in two stages.

In this research, the effectiveness of goal-setting strategies training designed based on goal-setting theory in the grade goals and academic achievement of middle school students has been investigated. To achieve this aim, 79 seventh-grade male students were selected by random cluster sampling and assigned to experimental and control groups. The Goal-setting strategies training package was developed on the basis of goal-setting theory by researchers and presented during 7 sessions to students and the tasks were done by them. Final grades of the first and second semesters were used for evaluating academic achievement and the grade goals set by students for the first and second semesters were used for assessing grade goal setting. The findings showed that the academic achievement of the experimental group increased in comparison with the control group. Whereas the grade goals of the students of the experimental group did not change, their grade goal errors decreased significantly which indicate the improvement and increased accuracy of educational goal-setting of students. Goal-setting strategies training can enhance academic performance and the quality of goal-setting.

The aim of this study was to determine the challenges of developing the smart schools from the viewpoint of administrators and teachers of these schools in Babolsar district. The method of collecting information was descriptive, of the kind survey and analysis. At the first step, the information and the questions of this research was obtained through survey and interviews with the main officials of the smart schools’ project in department of Education and Training in Babolsar district. So, the questions related to the questionnaire were collected in a list. Finally, in order to answer the question, the questionnaire was distributed among 21 administrators and 131 teachers in these schools. The results showed that low use of internet among teachers, the weak experience among teachers in using modern teaching methods and the lack of reliable electronic content of lessons were the main challenges of development in the smart schools. The lack of required foundations such as local network and internet connection, the lack of preparation and the necessary backgrounds for using information technology in management of school, lack of motivation and interest in the teaching profession and lack of motivation among students to use the equipment were the least challenges of development in the smart schools in Babolsar district. Finally, if we identify the challenges of the smart schools and equip them with eqipments, the science will exceed the textbooks. Therefore, teaching and learning methods will be expanded from mere remembering to critical thinking and evaluation of information sources.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a positive psycho-educational program on coping styles and academic well-being in female students. In this quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control-group design and followed by two months, 27 students in the experimental group and 25 students in the control group before and after positive psycho-educational training program, answered the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-Short Form (CISS-SF), School Engagement Inventory (SEI) and the School Burnout Inventory (SBI). The experimental group received 7 two-hour sessions of positive psycho-educational training package. The results of simple mixed ANOVA indicated that in the short and long term, the psycho-educational package was effective in increasing the task-oriented coping style and school engagement and in decreasing dimensions of nonadaptive coping styles including emotion-coping style and avoidance coping style and school burnout. The results of the present study consistent with the results of other studies in the field of positive education, showed that psycho-educational positive intervention by strengthening learners' coping resources and equipping learners with psychological capital and mental strength was effective in creating skills based on psychological immunization of learners along with other traditional academic skills in them.

The purpose of this study was constructing and validating of purposeful classroom management questionnaire in virtual education. The statistical population included students of public and Payame Noor universities in Tehran. Convenient sampling method was used and sample size according to Morgan table for unlimited communities was equal to 384 cases. Researcher-made purposeful management questionnaire and the Dehghanizadeh and HosseinChari Academic Buoyancy (2014) were used for data collection. Exploratory factor analysis and first and second order confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed based on the views of experts and the criterion validity was confirmed based on the correlation coefficient with Academic Buoyancy. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the purposeful classroom management questionnaire have four basic components. First and second order factor analysis indicated that the four-dimensional structural of purposeful classroom management were valid. As a result, in a situation where face-to-face education is challenged due to crises such as epidemics, natural disasters or air pollution and teachers are forced to teach virtually, measuring the dimensions of purposeful classroom management and Receiving corrective feedback based on it can be a practical tool to improve learning outcomes.

Academic dishonesty refers to any misconduct in academic affairs and assignments. It is a worrying phenomenon with many negative consequences. To prevent these consequences, experts have studied the effective relevant factors on academic dishonesty. In this study self-control and academic procrastination were studied as antecedents for academic dishonesty. It was a correlational study and Tangney, Baumeister and Boone (2004) self-control questionnaire, McCabe and Trevino (1997) academic dishonesty questionnaire and Solomon and Rothblum (1984) procrastination questionnaire were used. The relationships between the constructs of the proposed model were analyzed using structural equation modeling in AMOS software version 24. The statistical population included all high school students in the city of Osko, in the academic year 1401-1400. The sample size was 380 students. The fitness indices of the proposed model according to the criteria proposed by Meyers, Gamst and Guarino (2006) indicated an acceptable fitness with the data. The results showed that self-control has a direct and significant effect on academic procrastination and academic dishonesty. In addition, academic procrastination has a direct and significant effect on academic dishonesty. Also academic procrastination plays a mediating role in the relationship between students' self-control and academic dishonesty. Therefore, it is suggested that education authorities consider programs to improve students' self-control skills.

The purpose of this study was to construct a scale for assessing the Students` Subjective Well-being in elementary School (ESSSWBSS). For this purpose, based on an exploratory sequential mixed methods design, two studies were conducted. In the first study, using purposive sampling of the criterion type, 29 key informants including teachers and elementary school students in Tehran were selected and interviewed. Research tools were researcher-made single-item questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed by Colaizzi's method. This has led to identifying six main themes including 'executive-administrative ', 'cultural', 'environment', 'friends', 'teaching and teacher ethics' and 'individual'. In the second study, among elementary school students in Tehran 387 students were selected through three-way cluster sampling. Psychometric properties of tools were evaluated using content validity, examination of items, structural validity and reliability determination. The content validity ratio (CVR) of each of the items was above the criterion of 0.54 and the overall validity of the tool (CVI) was 0.735. Validity of the scale was confirmed by content validity based on experts' opinion; the reliability of the scale was calculated by Cronbach's alpha and its value was 0.86. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in extraction of six factors. The item characteristic curve indicates that the majority of the items have a satisfactory and sometimes very good qualifications. In general, it can be said that the quality of the tool is of good quality because it provides a high level of information in a significant range of the ability continuum (-2 to +1). Investigating the psychometric properties of the tool showed that it can be used as a valid and reliable tool for assessing the Elementary School Students’ Subjective Well-Being in School.

This study investigates the effect of teacher -supported discussion - based learning environment (modeling and coaching) on improving students' moral - social decision - making skills. Three sixth grade classes were selected, and were randomly assigned to experimental groups 1 (modeling strategy), experimental 2 (coaching strategy) and experimental groups 3 (blended strategy). Three learning environments were designed with the support of the teacher, called the discussion-based learning environment, and these educational supports were applied in the learning environments.After the pre - test, a six - week discussion - based learning unit on moral - social decision-making was implemented with modeling, coaching, or blended instructional supports. The data obtained from pre-test, post-test and application-test of decision-making skills were analyzed using a coding scheme designed based on the relevant research literature. Repeated measures analysis of variance and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that students who received blended support in the discussion - based learning process performed better in terms of acquisition and applying decision-making skills as well as satisfaction than the other two conditions. Also, the students who were supported in the discussion process through modeling, performed better than the coaching group in acquisition and applying decision-making skills. The implications, limitation and suggestions for future research are discussed.

One of the main challenges in learning environments is learners' mastery of educational content and the application of new knowledge in real life. Generative learning involves actively making sense of to-be-learned information by mentally reorganizing and integrating it with one’s prior knowledge, thereby enabling learners to apply what they have learned to new situations. Due to the novelty of the concept of generative processing, there is a need for additional research on methods to enhance this type of learning.Therefore, the present study tried to identify and explain the strategies for strengthening generative processing (GL) through germane cognitive load (GCL). The research method was qualitative, conducted with thematic analysis method. The study area was all written and digital Persian and English materials on GCL. Considering the theoretical saturation in the last ten years, thirty two papers were selected and analyzed as the sample, according to the professors using content analysis and purposive approach in the field of GL and cognitive load. The results were categorized as basic themes (codes and key points of the text), organizational themes (themes obtained from the composition and summarizing the basic themes) and inclusive themes (excellent themes containing the principles governing the text as a whole) and the network of themes was planned. After data analysis, five main themes including multimedia application, personalization, feedback, thought and guided learning, and 53 sub-themes emerged that strengthen optimal generative processing and cognitive load.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between character strengths and job occupation with the mediating role of teachers' emotions. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population was all 1400 primary school teachers in District 2 of Urmia, of which 301 were selected by cluster sampling method and on the basis of Klein (2011) rule and based on the number of variables. Data collection tools were standardized questionnaires of character strengths of Seligman and Patterson (2004), Shuffle et al. (2002) and Chen Teachers' emotions (2016). Validity (content and structure) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) of the questionnaires indicated that the measuring instruments had good validity and reliability. The results of testing the hypotheses by SPSS and PLS software and using correlation tests and structural equation modeling showed that the teachers' character strengths have a positive and significant relationship with job occupation. The relationship between character strengths and teachers' emotions is positive and significant. Teachers' emotions have a positive and significant relationship with their job occupation and finally, the relationship between teachers' character strengths and job occupation, mediated by teachers' emotions, is positive and significant.
