The purpose of this study is offering a blended learning model of Persian language to foreigners. This research was conducted in terms of applied purpose, in terms of analytical nature and in a documentary way. First, by using library and documentary studies, a systematic review and detailed analysis of existing models of blended learning regarding teaching-learning activities, characteristics of learners, teachers, content, educational media and evaluation was performed. In this level, the statistical population included all the different models of blended learning in the scientific databases of Science Direct, Scopus, Springer, the Emerald and Google Scholar databases, the Internet platform of the French network called (TV5) and the language teaching content of the BBC site. Data collection tools also included receipts, tables and cards. Then, the proposed model of blended learning of Persian language teaching to foreigners was developed and the validity of the model was examined using the opinions of experts in the two fields of linguistics and distance education. The statistical population in the second level included all experts in the fields of linguistics and distance education, among them 15 distance education specialists and 15 linguistics specialists were purposefully selected and commented on the validity of the proposed model. The research tool also included a researcher-made questionnaire with ten items and a four-point Likert scale (very high, high, low, very low) whose validity was confirmed by education and linguistics experts. The reliability of the questionnaire was also 0.89 using Cronbach's alpha method. In order to analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistical methods (one-sample t-test) were used to validate the model. The results obtained from the one-sample t-test that was used to examine the internal validity of the Persian language blended learning model for foreigners, indicate that the proposed model is based on blended learning from the perspective of specialists in both distance education and linguistics. It also pays attention to the motivation of learning in language learners, also emphasizes the interactions of teacher, learner and content and is in accordance with the psychological principles of language learning. In addition, it has sufficiently blended various teaching-learning activities (face-to-face and electronic). It also pays enough attention to the characteristics of the teacher, content, media and evaluation, therefore the proposed model has sufficient validity for teaching Persian to foreigners.The purpose of this study is offering a blended learning model for Persian language to foreigners. First, the existing models of bleanded learning were studied and teaching-learning activities in blended learning language were studied, then the characteristics of learners, teachers, content, educational media and evaluation were considered. Then the challenges of bleande learning education were introduced and finally the proposed model of bleanded learning Persian language was introduced to foreigners and the validity of the model was confirmed by using the opinions of experts in the fields of linguistics and distance education.

This study examined the mediating effect of teacher’s emotions and cognitive coping strategies on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and goal orientations with male and female teachers’ job-related affective well-being. In this correlational study, 360 teachers (200 female and 160 male) who were selected through available sampling, responded the Teachers’ Achievement Goals in Work Questionnaire, the Stress Appraisal Measure-Revised, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Teacher Emotion Inventory and the Job-Related Affective Well-Being Scale. The results showed that for total sample and for male and female teachers, the partially mediated model of teacher’s emotions and cognitive coping strategies on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and goal orientations with teachers’ emotional well-being had good fit to data. Furthermore, all of the regression weights in the hypothesized model were statistically significant and model' predictors accounted for 55% of the variance in teachers emotional well-being. In general, the results of the present study cosistent with the prevailing concern of educational researchers interested in analyzing the profile of teachers' emotional and motivational experiences, showed that predicting the teachers' occupational well-being through qualities such as goal orientation and cognitive appraisals is achieved in the informational context of other concepts such as emotions and cognitive coping strategies.

This study investigated the effect of virtual reality exercises on motor-perceptual development performance of taekwondo girls. The research was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. Due to the availability of sample selection, the statistical population of the present study, including 24 taekwondo practitioners (with white, yellow and green belt), was selected, who are completely familiar with the basics of taekwondo, with family satisfaction and cardiovascular endurance tests and a relatively good level of sports. The experimental protocol consisted conducted 12 sessions of 30 minutes 3 days per week for 4-weeks and during this period they did not do any training, even recreationally. The MANOVA test was performed for data analysis. Before analysis of variance, the necessary assumptions such as the normality of the distribution of dependent variables, homogeneity of variance, variables of regression line slope homogeneity and regression slope were examined. Both groups maintained their regular taekwondo training, which was the same. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p≤0/05). Virtual reality exercises increase the perceptual- motor performance of all components have a significant effect on agility, endurance, strength, balance flexibility and perception of taekwondo practitioners compared to the control group (p≤0/05). Therefore, it is suggested to be used in the training program taekwondo athletes.

The aim of this study was modeling the productivity academic performance based on impulsivity, delayed reward discounting, and social-emotional skills mediated by academic motivation. In a descriptive study of correlation with the present structural equation model, among the statistical population including all adolescent girls aged 16 to 18 years in Tehran in the academic year 2019-2020, a statistical sample of 350 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and by academic performance, academic motivation and emotional-social competency questionnaires were assessed. The descriptive statistics (Mean, standard deviation, skewness and elongation, etc.) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations) were used to analyze the data by using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The results of data analysis showed that there is a direct relationship between social emotional skills and academic performance (p<0.01) and academic motivation mediates this relationship significantly (p<0.01). The results of the present study can be used as a framework for designing educational programs to enhance students' academic performance.

The aim of this study was developing a causal model of academic hope based on motivational self-regulation and perceived teacher support of autonomy with the mediating role of students' cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The research method according to its purpose is practical and the method of implementation is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study consisted of all 12th grade high school students in Hamadan in the 2019-2020 academic year. 500 students were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling method. The employed instruments were Kamari and Khormaee academic hope questionnaire, Walters's motivational self-regulation questionnaire, perceived teacher support as the social context of Belmont et al., and the Garnfsky and Craig's cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Data analysis was performed by SPSS and Amos software. The findings showed an indirect and significant effect of motivational self-regulation and perceived teacher autonomy support by mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the academic hope of students. The findings also showed that motivational self-regulation and perceived teacher autonomy support have a direct and significant effect on students' academic hope. The results of the present study showed that in general, motivational self-regulation and perception of teacher support for autonomy can be good predictors of students' hope for education through their cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

This study investigated the mediating role of academic buoyancy in relationship Between mindfulness with happiness and academic achievement. Participants were 344 (164 male and 184 female) students in Shiraz University, selected by a random multi-stage cluster sampling method who completed the Academic Buoyancy Questionnaire (Hosseinchari & Dehghani, 1391), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer & et al., 2006), and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Hills & Argyle, 2002). Also, the total average score of students was considered an indicator of academic achievement. WARPPLS was used to test the model. The findings showed that mindfulness was positive and significant predictor of happiness and academic achievement. Mindfulness has a positive and significant relationship with academic buoyancy. Also confirmed the role of academic buoyancy as a mediator was also confirmed. Academic buoyancy has mediator role in relationship between mindfulness and happiness. But academic buoyancy showed a negative a mediator in the relationship between mindfulness and academic achievement. The results indicated that academic buoyancy has a higher role in predicting happiness than academic achievement.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of mobile-assisted teaching in self- directed learning, problem-solving skills and academic performance of Payame Noor University (PNU) students in Boukan. The study had an interventional design involving pretest - posttest with the control group. The study's statistical population was comprised of 120 students including all the students of educational sciences who had entered Boukan PNU Center in the academic year 97-98. To collect the data, sixty participants, who were homogenized on the basis of Raven Progressive Matrices (Intelligence Quotient with 90-110), were assigned randomly into one experimental group (30 participants) and one control group (30 participants). The Self-Directed Learning Scale (Fisher et al, 2001), Problem-Solving Skills Inventory (Heppner and Petersen, 1982) and an academic performance researcher-made scale were given to the experimental group and the control group as the pre-test of the study. Then the experimental group received 8 sessions (60 minutes each session) of mobile-assisted treatment in 4 weeks, while the control group underwent conventional teaching during that period. After finishing the sessions, the participants of both groups took the post-test, and the results were compared. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed significant differences in the Self-Directed Learning Scale and its components, Problem-Solving Skills Inventory and its components, and the Academic Performance Scale of the participants in the groups at 0.01 level. The findings of this study, in accordance previous studies, indicate that mobile-assisted teaching can enhance self-directed learning, problem-solving skills and academic performance of Payame Noor University students.

The aim of the current study was explaining the relationship of self-discrepancy and academic resilience with academic procrastination in students. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the present study included all students of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, from which 242 students were selected by cluster sampling. Higgins` scale of self-discrepancies (1987), samuels` academic resilience questionnaire (2004), and sevari` academic procrastination questionnaire (2012) were used for collecting the data. For data analysis, Pearson correlation quotient and Stepwise multiple regression were used. The results showed a positive and significant correlation between ought-actual (r = 0.36) and actual -ideal (r = 0.39) with academic procrastination but not between resilience and academic procrastination.In addition, stepwise regression analysis showed that among the predictor variables, the actual-ideal self-discrepancy could predict more than 15% of the variance of academic procrastination. People with self-discrepancy are more likely to be procrastinating. Ideal-actual self-discrepancy is also the strongest predictor of procrastination. Thus, students who experience a great deal of difference between their actual and ideal self are more procrastinating than those who experience a difference between their actual and ought self.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Trait Emotional Intelligence- Adolescent Short Form (TEI-ASF, Petrides, Sangareau, Furnham & Frederickson, 2006) among Iranian gifted adolescents. In this correlational study, 347 gifted adolescents (148 male and 199 female) completed the Trait Emotional Intelligence- Adolescent Short Form (TEI-ASF) and the Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS, Oshio, Nakaya, Kaneko & Nagamine, 2002). The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to determine the TEI-ASF's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Also, in order to examine the construct validity of the TEI-ASF, correlations between different dimensions of TEI-ASF with scales of adolescent’s resilience was calculated. The results of confirmatory factor analysis based on AMOS software showed that 4-factor structure of the well-being, sociability, self-control and emotionality in the Iranian sample had good fit with data. Correlational analyses between different dimensions of TEI-ASF with scales of adolescent’s resilience provided initial evidence for the TEI-ASF convergent validity. Internal consistency for the well-being, sociability, self-control and emotionality subscales was 0/82, 0/73, 0/73 & 0/70 respectively. In sum, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the TEI-ASF as an instrument for measuring Trait Emotional Intelligence among Iranian gifted adolescents.

working memory, creativity and cognitive flexibility in bilingual and monolingual students of persian azeri languages. The research method was ex post facto. The statistical population of the study consisted of all bilingual and monolingual female students in district 19 of Tehran in 2018. Of this population, 120 people were selected by stage sampling. Data collection tools included Working Memory Questionnaire (Dunman & Carpenter, 1980), Creativity (Abedi, 1985) and Cognitive Flexibility (Dennis & vanderwal, 2010). Analysis of variance was used for data analysis. The findings showed that there was a significant difference (p <0.05) between working memory, creativity and cognitive flexibility in monolingual and bilingual groups. Bilingual students had a better performance than monolinguals in all three areas. In this regard, the differences between bilingual and monolingual students were (7 points) in creativity, (4 points) in flexibility, and (2 points) in working memory. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that second language instruction in students' developmental process can enhance their cognitive abilities, especially creativity and cognitive flexibility, which is likely to improve their academic performance.

The present study aimed to identify the components of professional ethics in the context of e-learning and distance education and design a model of professional ethics. To achieve this goal, the exploratory mixed method was used with a focus on the qualitative-quantitative method. In the qualitative section, in order to collect data, the semi-structured exploratory interview method and the focus group were used, and then in the second stage, the descriptive-analytical method was used quantitatively and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. In order to assess the current situation of professional ethics in Alborz Higher Education Institute, the identified components were surveyed as a researcher-made questionnaire from the viewpoint of students. A one-sample t-test with a test value of 3.5 was used to analyze the questionnaire. The results showed that the factors and components of professional ethics with t visible in the table were significantly higher than the expected average.In terms of desirability, behavioral and process components were at the desired level and only the component of ethics-oriented interaction in the e-learning environment related to educational assistants was at a relatively desirable level from the viewpoint of students. By erpresenting the initial model of professional ethics based on the literature review and interviews with e-learning experts, and qualitative and quantitative results, the conceptual model of professional ethics was obtained.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of The Parenting Program to mothers on executive functions and academic motivation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population included all mothers of children with ADHD in Kashan, from whom 32 people were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Harter’s academic motivation questionnaire (1981) and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function were used. After the pre-test, the experimental group received positive parenting training in 7 sessions of 60 minutes, and the control group did not receive any training. After all training sessions, a post-test was performed. Data were analyzed by analysis of covariance and SPSS-26 software. The results showed that positive parenting education to mothers has a significant effect on executive functions and academic motivation (F = 71.63 and p <0.01) of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It seems that positive parenting education for mothers improves executive functions and academic motivation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediatory role of the research spirit in relationship between motivational orientations and academic stress, with research self-efficacy to illustrate the relationship between research variables in the causal model. The research population included all Graduate students of Kharazmi University in the academic year 2019-2020, that according to Loehlin & Beaujean, (2016), for sampling a statistical sample group with a sufficient number for the model, 15 persons were considered for each variable, of which 280 people were selected using random multi-stage cluster sampling method. The instruments for data gathering were: research self-efficacy questionnaire of salehi (2010), motivational orientations Questionnaire of salehi (2011), research spirit Questionnaire of shirzad & et al (2016) and the academic stress Questionnaire of kamkari & et al. (2010). The data were analysis by method structural equation modeling using softwares of 22-SPSS and 24-AMOS. The results showed that the proposed model has a good fit with the data of this study (RMSEA = 0.044, GFI = 0.99, AGFI = 0.96, CFI = 0.997). The directions of internal research motivation and external research motivation had a positive effect on research spirit and research self-efficacy. Research apathy had a direct and negative effect on research spirit; but it did not have a direct effect on research self-efficacy. Academic stressors had no direct effect on research morale and self-efficacy. Also, the direct effect of research spirit on research self-efficacy was positive and significant. Indirect results of the paths showed that the orientation, intrinsic motivation and research motivation have an indirect effect on research self-efficacy mediated by research spirit; however, external research motivation and academic pressures mediated by research spirit did not have an indirect effect on research self-efficacy. 46% of the dispersion of research spirit scores and 16% of the dispersion of research self-efficacy scores were explained by research motivation orientations and academic pressures. The findings were consistent with the results of previous similar studies and are an important step in explaining the factors affecting research self-efficacy and also as a suitable model for designing comprehensive programs affecting research.

The aim of this study was to develop a model of employee procrastination based on the amount of psychological capital (resilience, self-efficacy, hope and optimism) with the moderating effect of critical thinking in employees. The research method was descriptive and was a correlational design and structural equation modeling method. The statistical population included all employees of Parsian Bank in 1399-1400 with a volume of 2600 people and 300 samples were selected by stratified sampling method. Measurement tools were Saffarinia et al's organizational procrastination questionnaire (2011), Luthans et al's psychological capital scale (2007) and Ricketts critical thinking questionnaire (2003). Data analysis was performed using SPSS25 software and LISREL software. According to the results, the factor load of the direct path of the effect of the psychological capital variable on the procrastination variable was not significant, but with the mediation of the critical thinking variable, this path became significant. Then, in order to modify the model, the paths whose factor load was not significant were removed. Finally, the modified model had a good fit. In the final model, all factor loads were significant, which showed a strong relationship between the observed variables and latent variables. According to the results, it can be said that the more psychological capital and critical thinking a person has, the less procrastination he will have.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family communication patterns and academic emotions with the mediating role of academic identity. To achieve this goal, 348 female high school students in Yasouj were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and They answered questionnaires of family communication patterns (Fitzpatrice & Ritchie, 1994), academic emotions (Pekrun et al, 2005), and the Academic Identity Questionnaire (Was & Isaacson, 2008). The results of path analysis showed that the direct effect of conversational orientation on academic emotions was significant, but the direct effect of conformity orientation on academic emotions was not significant. Except for the direct effect of conformity orientation on achievement identity style, all direct effects of conversational and conformity communication patterns on academic identity styles (moratorium, closure, diffusion, and achievement) were significant. Also, the direct effect of all identity styles on positive academic emotions and the direct effect of diffusion and moratorium academic identity styles on negative academic emotions was significant. The results also showed that family communication patterns through academic identity have an indirect and significant effect on academic emotions. Overall, the results indicated that academic identity played a mediating role in the relationship between family communication patterns and students' academic emotions.

The aim of this study was to compare three methods of teaching based on the cognitive load theory (CLT), multimedia education, and speech on the level of achievement and motivation of students in learning the fourth elementary science course, which was done as a quasi-experimental project. The statistical population of the study was the students of a school equipped with information technology in Mahmudabad city. The tools of this research include 1. Researcher-made learning test in the fourth science course 2. Questionnaire of academic achievement motivation of Verland et al. (1985) 3. Academic motivation scale (AMS) and 4. Measurement scale of Pass and Van Merriënboer (1993). The results of the questionnaires and the learning test were analyzed by using ANOVA. The results showed that the level of learning, the motivation of students who were under teaching based on cognitive load theory was significantly higher than students who received multimedia education and speech. Also, the mean of the cognitive load in speech group was 4.47, multimedia group 3.82, and in training group based on cognitive load theory 3.63. This means that students in the teaching group based on cognitive load theory received less cognitive load than students in other groups. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that teachers and educational planners train the basic principles of cognitive theory so that they learn these principles and due to the limited capacity of students' active memory and the motivational aspects of the learning environment, they apply them in teaching and planning lessons.

Scaffolding is conceptualized as the provision of assistance to learners and the gradual withdrawal of the aid as the scaffoldee signals progression in their knowledge/skill and the capability to take over more responsibility. The present study sought to scrutinize the impact of metacognitive scaffolds intended to endorse metacognitive activities (i.e. planning, monitoring, and evaluation) on various aspects of oral proficiency namely, complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Sixty participants selected through a proficiency test and ranging in age from 16 to 27 took part in the study. Complexity was assessed by calculating the ratio of clauses to AS units in the participants' production. Fluency was measured by dividing the number of syllables by the total number of seconds and multiplied by 60, and accuracy was gauged as the percentage of clauses devoid of syntactic, morphological, and lexical errors to the whole number of clauses. The results of a number of t-tests and ANOVAs on pre and post-intervention oral performance revealed that metacognitive scaffolds could significantly enhance oral proficiency in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Implications for classrooms are discussed.

Children with learning disabilities form a heterogeneous group. Their common denominator is that they all have difficulty in learning school subjects. The present study determines the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on reducing handwriting and math problems in students with special learning disabilities. Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pretest- posttest design with a control group. The statistical population includes all male students in the third grade of primary school in Ilam in 1400. Using the available sampling method, 20 people (10 people in the experimental group and 10 people in the control group) were selected as the sample size. The research tools were Kosanj et al.'s (2012) questionnaire, handwriting problem checklist, failure test, and mathematical performance test for math disorder and cognitive-behavioral play therapy protocol. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that cognitive-behavioral play therapy effectively reduced handwriting and math problems and mathematical components of students with special learning disabilities. Therefore, it can be said that teaching the cognitive-behavioral play therapy can solve the handwriting and math writing problems in students with learning disabilities and can inform them to deal with problems during school.Cognitive: behavioral play therapy, handwriting and math writing disorder, special learning disabilities

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cyberspace literacy training on the victimization of cyber bullying, self-control and critical thinking in high school students in 2019-2020. The present study was an experimental design with pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population included all third grade high school students in Ardabil, from which 30 students were selected by available sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Prior to cyberspace literacy training, both experimental and control groups answered the CBVEQ, the 13-item Tanji, self-control questionnaire, and the Ritex Critical Thinking Questionnaire. Then, the experimental group was trained in 8 cyberspace literacy program, but the control group was not receiving any intervention. After the training program, two groups respondent all questionnaires. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that cyberspace literacy training had improved cyber victimization and self-control (p <0.05), but cyberspace literacy training program had a significant effect on students' critical thinking in the experimental group. did not show. Findings show that cyberspace literacy training can reduce the destructive consequences of this network by increasing users' awareness about this phenomenon.
