The present study investigates the factors affecting the adoption of cloud computing in higher education in order to provide a suitable model. The method of this research is qualitative and synthesized research which is done by using content analysis method with meta-synthesis. The statistical population of the study consisted of all studies from 2008 to 2018 in the field of cloud computing in higher education inside and outside Iran. From a total of 5 volumes of books and 75 articles reviewed from reputable internal and external databases, 38 studies were purposely selected based on the thematic relevance of the data. The data was collected through a study jack. In order to analyze the data, coding method was used for qualitative studies. For this purpose, 15 replicate components were identified and finally 74 concepts were extracted as main components. Next, the coding and categorization of the information obtained from the research, the theoretical foundations of the cloud computing domain, the main categories and themes were extracted. The results of the inductive and hybrid content analysis of the categories lead to the emergence of a conceptual framework in the area of cloud computing acceptance in higher education around 4 dimensions: technology, environment, individual and organizational Manuscript profile

This study has been conducted to epistemologistically explore the media literacy of Canada and Japan in order to propose a localizing pattern for the media literacy in Iran.The methodology is field research and of applied research type. The statistical population includes two groups. The first group were the media literacy specialists, the educational planners, and the media literacy teachers who have taken part in the specialized meetings who were interviewed for determining the desirable pattern.The second group were the media literacy experts who were applied to validate the localizing pattern. The sample size for the interview was 25 and for validation 35.The analyzing method included three phases of axial, selective, and open code-giving and was organized on the basis of content analysis within the framework of basic concept.The findings of the research show that the targeted course plan included one comprehensive concept and seven organizing concepts.The study showed that the educational systems of Canada and Japan is characterized by a rational and systematic method, yet the implementation of the desirable pattern in Iran still remains to be reflected upon and revised.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using computer software and social networks on improving the students' mathematical attitude. The research method is quasi-experimental with the pretest-posttest design with the control group. The research sample comprised 60 primary school students in the first and second-grade schools of Khomein in the academic year of 96-97. They were selected by simple random sampling method and 30 of them were in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. To collect data, Aiken attitude questionnaire, which consists of 16 questions in terms of Likert spectrum, was used. Using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the reliability of the standard questionnaire was estimated to be 0.83. Initially, two groups were pre-test and the experimental group was trained using computer software and a social network (telegram) during 16 sessions in two months, and the control group was trained in the traditional way, then from two groups are tested. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of covariance analysis showed that using computer software and social networks improves students' mathematical attitude.
