The main purpose of this study was presenting the casual model of cognitive absorption, need for cognition and perceived enjoyment of learning via Augmented Reality (AR) (mediating role of mobile self-efficacy and academic engagement) with a descriptive and correlation method. For this purpose 3 western provinces (Hamedan, Kermanshah and Chaharmahal-o Bakhtiari) were randomly selected and 600 undergraduate students were selected through randomized multistage cluster sampling on the basis of Cochran's formula and after using AR application , the students completed a 52 item questionnaire that was an integration of following questionnaires: perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989), need for cognition (Cacioppo & Petty, 1982) cognitive engagement (Aloka & Odongo, 2018), mobile self- efficacy (Mahat, Mohd Ayub & Wong, 2012) and cognitive absorption (Agarwal, R., & Karahanna, 2000). After completing the questionnaire, 556 questionnaires were returned to the researcher and data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficients and path analysis using Amos 22, Lisrel 8.50 and Spss 22. The findings showed that cognitive absorption and need for cognition had a direct and indirect effect on perceived usefulness with mediating role of mobile self- efficacy and cognitive engagement. Also, the obtained results for the fit indices of the proposed model showed that it had a good fit with the data collected from the respondents. Therefore, this model can provide educators and education leaders with critical information for improving learning outcomes.

This study was conducted with the aim of standardizing the Pedagogical content knowledge scale of high school teachers in using digital games.The present study is a correlational study with the statistical population including all high school teachers in Urmia. In this study, two areas were selected randomly from education districts and then Questionnaires were distributed among high school teachers in district 2 using the relative stratified sampling method.To assess the Pedagogical content knowledge of digital games the questionnaire of Sue et al (2013) was used. Finally, the data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis statistical test. In confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit indices showed good fit of the model. The results also showed that all items of Urmia High School Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale were acceptable in using factor loaded digital games.And none of the items were removed from the Sue et al.Questionnaire (2013). It should be noted that in the subscale of game knowledge, item 1 with factor loadings (0/779) , in the subscale of Pedagogical game knowledge, item 9 with factor loadings (0/745) , in the subscale of game content knowledge, factor 12 with operating load (0/761) is considered to be the most relevant items for each component of game knowledge, Pedagogical game knowledge, and game content knowledge. The Pedagogical content knowledge of high school teachers in the city of Urmia in using digital games has a good content and structural validity and can be used to evaluate the Pedagogical content knowledge of other high schools in using digital games.
