The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the type of presenting educational materials (text only and text/picture) on vocabulary retention in the multimedia learning environment with the mediation of verbal fluidity. In this study, 78 students (45 female and 33 male) were randomly distributed into 6 thirteen-member groups in a multi-group pretest-posttest plan. The tools in this study were Tehran-Stanford-Binet intelligence test (TSB-R) and the researcher-made test of recalling words. The participants were randomly divided into test groups (control, verbal and picture-text) and screen size (big and small) groups. Before and after the tests, a retention was measured. The findings indicated that the text-picture group recalled fairly more words. Also, the members of this group in comparison with each other had closer performance. In addition, results indicated that the groups with bigger screen size recalled more words than the groups with smaller screen size. The findings about the mediation of verbal fluidity showed that it doesn’t have any effect on the subjects. The positive function of the text- picture explanations and screen size should be considered in planning the multimedia environment.

This Study has been done with the aim of systematic review of studies which have been done on Payame Noor University by the use of searching tools in Electronic Data Bases. In total, 160 articles which have been published during the years 1383-1394 in scientific-research valid magazines have been studied and reviewed. This reviewing study shows that most of the researches conducted on Payame Noor university field have weak writing structures and non-definitive frameworks. Moreover, because of having no efficient stability and the diversity of reviewed researches in subject area, it is not possible to present a substantive and comprehensive image of training and educating processes in Payame Noor University. This fact indicates that the university should have a comprehensive and complete plan of micro and macro projects. It is suggested that the open education research office should extract the main pivots of this comprehensive plan and by regular programming proceed the required researching plans.

In order to check the samples language performance, some linguistic characteristics like syntax, morphology and lexicon were evaluated by researcher made test related to Persian Language. Collected data were analyzed in both descriptive and inferential static level. In descriptive level, correlation test with aid of statistical indicators like mean, standard deviation and variance were used to study the relations of each skill like syntax, morphology and lexicon separately in samples of each group. Also, T test were applied to compare the mean of two groups. Results show that there is significance difference between language performance of intellectual male and usual students and the difference in syntax subtest is (p=0.001), in morphology (p=0.001) and in lexicon (p=0.001), (p˂0.05). Syntax, morphology and lexicon skills of intellectual students are superior to usual ones and their language performance is in higher level therefore.
