The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindfulness-based social-emotional learning on the components of social-emotional competence and children's academic performance. The method of this study was quasi-experimental with post-test pre-test design with unequal control group. The study population consisted of male students of the second elementary school of Hamedan in 1397-98, that 54 students of whom were selected by cluster sampling method and were divided into two experimental groups (18 people) and a control group (18 people). First, students in the experimental and control groups filled the Zhou and Ee (2012) Socio-Emotional Competence Scale and the researcher-made academic performance test in the pre-test stage. Then, one experimental group was trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction method in 10 sessions and the other experimental group was trained in mindfulness-based social-emotional learning method in 18 weeks (90 audio files) and the control group no received interventions. After completing the training, all groups completed the tool again in the post-test phase. The results of analysis of covariance showed that the effectiveness of two methods of mindfulness on increasing the components of social-emotional competence and academic performance was significant (p< 0.01). But no significant difference was observed in the effectiveness of the two methods (p> 0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that mindfulness can be used as an effective method to promote social-emotional competencies and academic performance in primary schools.

Today, the world of education has shifted its focus from teaching to learning And such an approach is achieved with extensive knowledge of information technology and rich technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare education with traditional methods and education with educational software in the levels of learning, understanding and application of Mathematics and science in sixth grade female students in Khorramabad. Participants in this study included sixth grade students. This study was conducted on two sixth grade students from two schools, one with educational software and the other no educational software. For this purpose, 60 elementary sixth grade students of Khorramabad city were selected by cluster sampling method. The research tools included the Bloom Educational Objectives Survey Questionnaire designed to measure students' learning levels at the level of knowledge, understanding and application in mathematics and science. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between traditional education and software training in the levels of knowledge, understanding and application of mathematics and science. One-way analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between the traditional teaching method and the software-based teaching method in the learning levels of science and mathematics at the level of understanding the mathematics and the knowledge levels of the science lessons.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of resilience training on reducing students’ burnout. The method used in this study is pretest-posttest control group design. The population of the study consisted of all first grade high school students of Hamedan in the academic year 93-94. From this population, a sample of 40 students were selected (40 student with academic burnout selected) using multistage random cluster sampling, and were assigned to two groups of experimental and control. (Randomly assigned to experimental and control group). (Resilience training during 10 sessions of 60 minutes was conducted to the experimental group) The instrument used in the study was the academic burnout questionnaire. The results of the study revealed that Resilience training method is effective in reducing students’ academic burnout. The results also showed that resilience training is effective in reducing emotional exhaustion, academic cynicism, and academic inefficacy. Another finding of the present study was that among the components of academic burnout, resilience training had the greatest impact in reducing the emotional exhaustion subscale. It can be said that resilience training can modulate stress levels and disability in stressful situations and increases life satisfaction, self-efficacy, optimism and hope in students, which in turn reduces academic burnout.
