Accordingly, this study was conducted with the aim of mediating the role of student satisfaction in the relationship between service quality and student loyalty. The statistical population of this study consists of graduate students of the University of Isfahan, whose number is about 4469 people. To select the sample size using Cochran's formula, a sample of 351 people was selected in a stratified manner appropriate to the volume. To measure the quality of services, Shahverdiani (2010) questionnaire, student loyalty and student satisfaction questionnaire of Zandavanian et al (1397) were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its composite reliability and validity were evaluated by construct and content validity. The research hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling technique. The results showed that from five dimensions of service quality, tangible factors, reliability and empathy have a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction, but Responsiveness, Assurance does not have a significant effect on student satisfaction. On the other hand, student satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on student loyalty. The results of mediator role also showed that student satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between tangible and reliability factors and empathy with student loyalty, but student satisfaction does not play a mediating role in the relationship between Responsiveness and Assurance with student loyalty.

In DEA, DMUs separate to two efficient andinefficient groups. In the basic DEA models, inefficient DMUs merely are ranked but efficient DMUsare not. In the other hand, in this case all efficient DMUs have efficiency equal to number one. Thus,there is not possible for making priority within these DMUs. On the base of used algorithm in thisresearch a DMU has defined as dummy optimal and in the last phase of the algorithm, after resolvingthe model of dummy optimal DMU's efficiency number will be equal to one, then the valu of objectivefunction for other DMUs, that concerning dummy optimal DMU have evaluated, will be less than one.In this manner efficient DMUs will be ranked too.

However, literature review in Iran shows lack of any model or theoreticaland research framework in this regard.To obviate this shortcoming, the researcher attempted to design an appropriate model, on the basis ofrevision of the relevant literature and theoretical foundations and some prevailing models such as educatingmultidimensional citizen, extending social context of educating citizen, human capital, intellectual capital,social capital, teaching- learning process of educating citizens and paying due attention to values, the sum ofwhich led to the development of an initial model. An attitude measurement scale (a questionnaire) composedof 22 elements was designed to evaluate the initial model. Reliability of the questionnaire was established bytest-retest method. It was calculated 85.46%. A panel of higher education expert (n=30) established thecontent validity. Minor changes/modifications were made based on evaluation of pilot study and suggestionsfrom the panel of experts. Final questionnaire (proposed model) was distributed among the randomlyselected target sample (n=480), composed of university chancellors, (n1=150) deans of faculties, heads ofdepartments (n2=150). Faculty members (N3=150) and higher education experts (n4=30).The collected data and the proposed model was then approved with a scale of 4.79 out of 5 through theapplication of statistical methods of pierson and Donkan coefficient of correlation and was analyzed by usingdescriptive and inferential statistics and Spss software, afterward.The major finding of this study was a model made up of six main components: philosophy, goals, theoreticalfoundations, conceptual framework, implementation procedures, evaluation and reengineering systems.By implementing the proposed model in higher education system, particularly in Islamic Azad Universitybranches , educating professional, knowledgable, responsible, and proficient citizens who will be able tomeet the challenges of knowledge-based society, knowledge economy, and knowledge management in thethird millennium would be actualized.To educate professional citizens, it is required to develop technological, economic, social, intellectual,management and leadership, spiritual, ethical & religious, environmental, global & international, individual,research , political, and cultural competencies through an integrated program in higher education systemparticularly in the Islamic Azad University. It is recommended that the proposed model be applied by the“Office of Human Resource development Studies” after being approved by the University`s SupremeCouncil of Planing, through considering teaching and learning (conceptual, affective, active, andinstituionalization) levels Manuscript profile -

Meanwhile, interpretations of the quality of the space, experience and event concerning the conventional and standard quantities can not be seen, something which seems to be a result of reductive and simplistic outlooks in line with modernist currents and incomplete education of the concepts of this current and dissemination of the tendency toward an international style. The present article intends to develop a post-modern framework for an outlook toward func-tion in designing and show that a transition has occurred from functionalism to programming which accepts a fuzzy spectrum of necessity, freedom and pleasure. In this situation the de-signer comes across a problem whereby he (she) has to prepare a lot of options and make some decisions in order to meet a variety range of the needs of his (her) audience, however, the de-signer’s technical know-how is not often sufficient for analyzing the reality and future predic-tion and eventually organization of the human systems. In order to change the program into the design, the designer has to make some orientation and options in programming. The de-signer is faced with the variables of the problem, their significance as well as acceptance of the changing situation and growing variables on one hand, and human’s behavior, quality and life style on the other. This complication aggravates when the audience or user of the space plays an active role against the author of the space or the architect, hence a confrontation and chal-lenge take place. Explanation of the term »environmental design« which contains the behav-ior- space system refers to the inseparable aspects of biological and non-biological human sys-tems. The objective is to prepare the ground for the synergy of these two systems toward a proper system of correlated variables in the designed space. Taking advantage of indirect measurement and using the model of ideal type of design, this article tries to study the situation of in between space syntax so that users would take more freedom and pleasure in the space through categorization, registration and mapping of the proportion of optional and necessary activities in the spaces of National Library and Library of the University of Tehran. According to the studies and analysis of the data extracted from ob-servations, the results of the research reveal that the proposed mechanism of designing the in between spaces at libraries toward rendering a better function includes: 1. Prediction of the open in between spaces at a place with most adjacency to other functions, since the more con-tradictory or indifferent the relations between functions are, the more effective they would be. 2. Design of the closed in between space so that it enjoys a high visibility along with a high spatial scale. 3. Provision of subsidiary function to in between spaces. Manuscript profile -

In terms of the applicability of the subject, the researcher, in order to answer the problem of managers' narcissism, should examine the issue at the level of the directors of Payame Noor universities. To further explain the problem, first narcissism was introduced; its definitions and dimensions from the point of view of thinkers, and by expressing various approaches and theories, the examples and consequences of narcissism were examined. The research method in this research is descriptive-survey type, from the field branch and in terms of applied nature. The statistical population and sample size in the qualitative part is 8 experts and management specialists and in the quantitative part includes all managers of Payame Noor university centers and units in region 5 (Isfahan, Yazd, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province), the total number of which is 168 people. Due to the limited statistical population, the sample size is considered equal to the statistical population. Data collection tools are semi-structured interviews and researcher-made questionnaires. Qualitative information analysis was performed based on data theory approach (three stages of open, axial and selective coding) and a quantitative part of inferential statistical methods (confirmatory factor analysis) and paradigmatic models. According to the main purpose of the study, using AMOS software, the effect of these factors on managers' narcissism was investigated. The first-order factor validation model was presented to measure the narcissistic component of managers. Then the significance of the difference between factor loads (regression weights) with zero value was presented. Because the calculated P value showed that among the 16 factors affecting the narcissism of managers, 3 factors are greater than 0.05, so with 95% confidence we can say that the calculated factor load for these 3 components is not significant and on the narcissism of the managers of Payam Noor universities. Light has no effect. By removing the three factors, the model was tested again and finally the model of factors affecting the narcissism of managers was designed. Manuscript profile -

The research method is causal and applied in terms of purpose. Two researcher-made questionnaires with 25 and 22 items, respectively, and supplementary sources such as annual reports prepared by incubators and technology parks were used to collect data. The statistical population of the research is the founders and managers of the university spin-offs established in the last decade, in which eleven ASOs were selected as a sample. In order to study the relationships between variables and test the hypotheses, the structural equation model was used. The results showed: a) Market networks and academic support networks have a positive effect on strengthening the entrepreneurial orientation of the university spin-off. b ) The size and frequency of the academic support network has a positive and significant effect on the entrepreneurial orientation, but the size and frequency of informal networks have no effect.

This article was performed to identify and analyze the culture of creative teaching in the faculty of Nursing and Midwifery of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. The qualitative research, purposeful sampling and saturation logic based on the theoretical perspectives of 16 faculty members were identified. Data was collected by non-structured interviews and was analyzed through coding techniques. The results were classified into five categories: student characteristics, the power distance of the teacher and student, student-teacher dependency, conserving attitude to science, emphasis on research and lack of teachers’ educational training. The results showed that teachers had different ideas about the characteristics of students and there was a clear boundary between the student and the professor stress. In addition, the findings showed that students tended directly to learn lessons from a teacher. On the other hands, students were not able to discuss and challenge in the classroom and lack of emphasis on research and education as well as other factors on creative teaching process.

This research was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The participants were 10 teachers who were graduated from Fars Farhangian University and had experiences of teaching mathematics in the fourth grade of elementary, which were selected by a purposive sampling for interview until the data were saturated. The data collection method was in-depth semi-structured interview. The thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that, 111 basic themes, 19 organizing themes and 2 comprehensive themes were formed under the title of mathematical misunderstandings and their causes. By analyzing the extracted themes, it can be realized that the participants had a relatively good knowledge of mathematical misunderstandings. They considered the heavy content of the fourth grade mathematics textbook and its incompatibility with the cognitive development of the students and the lack of time to present the concepts as the most important causes of mathematical misunderstandings in this grade. Therefore, by reviewing the content of the fourth- grade mathematics textbook, it can be expected that a more appropriate platform for the mathematic teaching _learning process and preventing misunderstandings should be provided.

This problem, which occurs at the beginning of the university semester, involves allocating events (courses, faculty, and students) to a number of time slot and specific number of rooms. The UCTTP problem must satisfy both hard and soft constraints so that feasible time tables are obtained after complete and correct satisfaction of all hard constraints. Satisfaction of soft constraints is merely for the quality improvement of the produced feasible time tables and unlike hard constraint their satisfaction is not mandatory. Another important issue associated with this problem is the multiplicity and variety of constraints (hard and soft) that are completely case dependent. The soft constraints considered by each solution (schedule) are evaluated by the penalty function, which is obtained by a summation operator. In this operator, a weight is assigned to each soft constraint, and according to these weights, a penalty function is obtained, the output of the penalty function is used in the objective function which yields final solutions. After obtaining all the final solutions, the schedule tables that have no collisions, that is, satisfy all the strict constraints, and secondly, have a higher value in terms of the value of the objective function are selected.Method: According to the simulation results, it can be said that in using clustering algorithms, the efficiency of fuzzy C-clustering algorithm in minimizing resource loss (surplus) and descending satisfaction of soft constraints of common lecturers of faculties is higher than funnel clustering algorithm and the K-mean.Findings: The optimal ratio of the number of applied penalties for the violations of lecturers’ soft constraints and the percentage of violations of lecturers among the fuzzy multi-criteria decision comparison algorithms, local search and genetics, as well as the combination of these algorithms are related to the combination of two comparison algorithms (i.e. fuzzy multi-criteria decision making and local search).Discussion and Conclusion: We observed that with regards to the percentage of satisfaction of soft constraints of common lecturers, the combination of local search algorithms with C-fuzzy clustering shows the best performance and f fuzzy multi-criteria decision comparison algorithm has the worst performance.

The statistical population of the research in the qualitative part includes the assistant professors of physical education of the universities of medical sciences in the country, professors with books or research in the field of student sports, high-ranking people of the National Federation of University Sports, and for the quantitative part of the research, all students of medical sciences universities throughout Iran as a community were studied. The sampling method in the qualitative part included the purposeful sampling method (deliberate or judgmental), and the sampling was done using the snowball technique until the theoretical saturation was reached; which was obtained after interviewing 19 people. In the quantitative part, cluster random method was used and finally 400 people were selected as a sample. The data collection tool was used in the qualitative part of the semi-structured, in-depth and exploratory interview; The research audit was done with the methods of believability, transferability, reliability and verifiability. To analyze the data, open, axial and selective coding was used. However, in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire from the qualitative part of the tool was used. Content validity was measured and confirmed by 10 expert professors in a corrective manner and in accordance with the objectives, and the reliability of the questionnaire was estimated through Cronbach's alpha. Maxqda, SPSS and Amos software were used for the analysis.Results: The results showed that the codes extracted from the interview in 6 main categories are equal to 191 codes, the causal conditions are equal to 7 components and 27 codes, the central phenomenon is equal to 3 components and 11 extracted codes, the background conditions are equal to With 7 components and 36 extracted codes, intervention conditions are equal to 8 components and 41 extracted codes, strategic conditions are equal to 8 components and 43 codes, and consequential conditions are equal to 5 components and 24 extracted codes. Also, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the causal factors on the central phenomenon (r=0.84); the central phenomenon on strategic factors (r=0.75); background factors over strategic factors (r=0.29); Interfering factors have a positive and significant effect on strategic factors (r=0.55) and strategic factors on outcome factors (r=0.28) (p≥0.05).Conclusion: The development of university sports can guarantee the health of students and one of the effective factors in the development of sports in the country. Accordingly, the role of universities is important for the development of sports in the country. Identifying the platforms and factors for the development of sports in universities, especially universities of medical sciences, in addition to improving the health of students, improves the social status of students.

The traditional architecture of India before the arrival of the British in India was more about creating spectacular and attractive forms carved out of stone. At this time, the main purpose of architectural tools was to glorify and magnify rituals and customs. Then the British entered the scene and they built their first modern buildings, which housed all the necessities of running a large empire. At this time, the culture and art of the colonialist country consciously and unconsciously influenced the way of construction and architecture, especially in the big cities of India. India declared independence in 1947 with non-violent struggles. The purpose of this research is to investigate the components of the modernism tradition in the university buildings of Iran and India. The research method in this research is a combination of nested type (qualitative in quantitative) with comparative weighting to the results of analysis in the quantitative field, in the qualitative part, first, using the technique of systematic review of the theoretical literature of articles in the field of tradition and modernism, indicators of tradition and modernism are extracted. And then they are categorized and semi-structured interview questions are developed based on them in the qualitative section. The experts who are selected based on the snowball system with the entry criteria are interviewed and the results are entered into the ATLASTI software for ease of coding. University buildings are selected with Delphi future research system with Kendall's coefficient, and then based on the obtained components, a questionnaire is compiled and provided to space users. The method of selecting the study samples was such that among about 200 universities in Iran and India according to architectural characteristics (tangible and intangible strategies and metaphors), the number of 22 universities in Iran and India in the first stage according to research data, documents and documents available , the plans were selected and then according to the opinion of designers and theorists in the field of contemporary architecture in Iran, using the Delphi method and taking into account the influential factors in their design as well as the availability of existing documents, their number was reduced to 18 universities in Iran and India and examined. In the quantitative stage, the sample size is selected by Morgan's table with the number of 384 people. The results are entered into JMP software for the analysis of inferential statistics. The results indicate that in the university buildings of Iran, the game components with visual communication elements with a value of (1.000) have the highest coefficients of determination in the association of tradition, and introversion with a value of (0.246) has the lowest correlation. In Indian university buildings, the use of brick as the dominant wall material with the value of (1.000) is the highest and the lowest is related to the spatial hierarchy with the value of (0.254). In the components of modernism in Iranian academic buildings, playing with honest dimensions (1.000), honest expression of structural materials on the facade (1.000) and reminders of modernism have the highest coefficient of determination and the lowest related to the connection between inside and outside with wide transparent surfaces with The value is (0.354) in Indian university buildings, the play of light and shadow, the honest expression of structural materials on the facade and reminiscent of modernism with the value (1.000) is the highest value and the lowest value is related to the use of materials and new technological achievements (0.155) ) Is.

In order to test the hypotheses, a sample of 600 students from Payame Noor University centers through multiple cluster sampling and stratified sampling were randomly selected, who answered a self-report questionnaire consisting of subscales of the intelligence beliefs (Abd-El-Fattah & Yates, 2006), achievement goals (Middleton & Midgley, 1997) and scale of educational self-efficacy and self-regulatory learning strategies taken from the Motivated Strategies for Learning questionnaire (Pintrich & De­Groot, 1990). The results indicated that the proposed causal model after revision enjoys a good fit index, and that the variables formed 34 and 30 percent of the total variance of cognitive and metacognitive strategies. In general, according to the results of this study, it was revealed that intelligence beliefs not only have a direct effect but also have an indirect impact on the students’ self-regulatory learning strategies through achievement goals and educational self-efficacy. The results indicated that students’ intelligence beliefs, especially incremental intelligence beliefs, through the mediation of achievement goals and educational self-efficacy, can be effective on the students’ self-regulatory learning strategies, and finally, on their performance.

The present study was motivated to scrutinize the EFL instructors’ insights to explore the potential washback effects of the new Iranian TEFL Ph.D. program entrance exam on their teaching methodology, class assessment, and syllabus design. To this end, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews with ten experienced instructors teaching M.A. courses at four Iranian universities. The results emerging from the close qualitative content analysis of the respondents’ introspection indicated that the new exam, despite its considerable significance, fails to generate substantial effects on the instructors’ teaching methodology and class assessment due to the inconsistency between the objectives supposed to be met by the new exam administration and those expected to be achieved in TEFL M.A. and Ph.D. programs. Further, it was revealed that the new exam, on the contrary, substantially influences the instructors’ syllabus design through conditioning their material and content selection.

Th MoreIn the third millennium, higher education is moving from a single-function and single-institution entity toward the multi-function and multi-dimensional one. Therefore, it is confronting new challenges. The best possible safeguard against these challenges is quality. Thus, total quality management (TQM), with its considerable results in industry and business, is now entering the higher education system. Educational and research quality is one of the concerns of higher education systems, and universities have always struggled to attain it. The constant promotion of higher education quality requires educational assessment. During the past two decades noticeable attempts have been made in many countries to enhance higher education quality and to attain the objectives of higher education systems. The main objective of the present research is to determine the rate of university chancellors’ readiness to establish comprehensive quality and productivity management. In this study, the six principles of commitment, customer orientation, realism, collaboration, training, and continuous improvement have been considered as the TQM principles. The statistical population consisted of all the personnel of Islamic Azad University, Zanjan Branch, from among whom 111people were selected as the research sample through the use of random sampling method.

The method of the study is quantitative and descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included all the faculty members of Payame Noor University in Iran. The sampling method was a multi-stage cluster sampling with proportional distribution. The sample size was determined equal to 280 individuals based on the Krejcie and Morgan table. Two researcher-made questionnaires were used in order for collecting the required data. The first questionnaire was designed to assess factors affecting the quality of distance education and the second one for measuring the social capital. The content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by the experts and estimation of factor analysis also showed that the construct validity of both questionnaires is desirable. The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated using Cronbach's alpha as 0.87 and 0.95, respectively. In addition to the descriptive statistics, the inferential statistics (hierarchical regression and structural equation) was also applied for analyzing the data. The results of the hierarchical regression showed that at the first level of the underlying factors, the greatest effect on the social capital is related to the family's cultural literacy (0.48) and at the second level, among the organizational factors, the greatest influence is related to the variables of the educational function (0.58) and the communication space (0.52) and the lowest impact is associated with the variable of the electronic technology (0.34). In addition, the obtained results from the structural equations confirmed suitability of the designed model with the data. Manuscript profile -

At the same time, the ESP materials were also evaluated by both ESP students and instructors. Based on the NA conducted, an EGAP course was designed and taught to a group of students as the experimental group prior to their ESP course. Teaching was done using WhatsApp Messenger. Using WhatsApp gave students the opportunity to learn English in an environment they were familiar with. In fact, the advantage of using WhatsApp is that it provides a suitable educational environment that is always available to students and also allows easy communication with the professor. After the ESP course, the mean score of this group was compared to that of control group. The result of the independent samples t-test showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups but the eta square was low and negligible, indicating that for more power, a longer treatment course was needed.

These information systems have become an integral part of the education industry today, and their continuing promotion is necessary for the development of the quality and quantity of higher education in the country. Accordingly, the existence of models that can periodically assess the quality of these systems and reveal potential gaps in order to promote these systems is inevitable.The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive quality assessment system for comprehensive educational systems that allows for the continuous measurement and upgrading of these systems. In this regard, through comprehensive literature review, the criteria for evaluating comprehensive educational systems including content, flexibility, ease of use, user services, organizational structure, and apparent form were identified, along with 42 subscriber indexes with final experts opinion.By designing a semi-structured questionnaire in the form of a case study in Applied Scientific University, the importance and relevance of the indicators and factors were investigated. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the validity of the constructs was tested. Then, using the structural equation method, the relationship between factors was modeled.The results of the study show that the factors of appearance, convenience and user services and flexibility are directly affected by the content and organizational structure indirectly affect the quality of comprehensive educational systems.

Also, on the basis of confirmatory factor analysis, the 5 factors with a total cumulative variance explained nearly 63%, were extracted. For making items reliable, the Cronbach’s alpha was used (α=0.94). Findings: in general, results show that the research-made scale (information literacy questionnaire) is a suitable and reliable instrument for assessing the information literacy of distance learner. Also, other result of research shows that the level of students’ information literacy skills at Payam-e-Noor University is moderate. Conclusion: one of the results of this study was that the instrument (scale) is valid & reliable, so using this scale is proposed for assessing of Students’ Information Literacy at other branches of Payam-e-Noor University. Another result of research was that level of students’ information literacy in PNU isn’t desirable and there is a gap between status quo and desirable situation; therefore some interventions (such as: formal and informal instruction) for rising of students’ information literacy is proposed.

Two hundred and eighty nine undergraduate students (143 females, 146 males) were selected from different disciplines of Tehran University using convenience sampling. The guilt subscale of the Personal Feeling Questionnaire (Harder & Zalma, 1990) and the Chronic Self-Destructiveness Scale (Kelley, et al., 1985) were used for studying divergent validity. The results indicated that the WUSCT had appropriate internal consistency (ranged from 0/118 to 0/326). The Cronbach α and 2-weeks test-retest reliability were .781 and .876, respectively. The negative correlation of the WUSCT with self-destructiveness demonstrated the divergent validity of the WUSCT. The WUSCT could discriminate the group with high ego development from the group with low guilt and self-destructiveness which indicated the discriminant validity of the WUSCT. The factorial analyses indicated that the WUSCT was unidimensional. The findings suggest that the Persian version of the WUSCT is a valid and reliable tool for assessing ego development.

The research was a correlational study. The statistical population included all undergraduate students from Marvdasht Islamic Azad University, who were studying in 2019-2020. To conduct the research 336 students (161 men and 175 women) were selected by random multi-stage cluster sampling. They completed the Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Bouffard, Boisvert, Vezeau & Larouche, 1995), the Academic Hope Scale (Pekran, Goetz, Titz & Perry, 2002), and the Student Adjustment to College Questionnaire (Baker & Siryk, 1984). Structural equation modeling was run as the statistical technique for analyzing the data. The results show that the proposed model’s fitness to observations was desirable. Also, academic hope has a direct effect on academic self-regulation and students’ adjustment to the university. The indirect effect of academic hope on university adjustment through the mediational role of academic self-regulation was significant too. Thus, academic hope affects students’ adjustment to the university directly and indirectly; through academic self-regulation. The results of this study have some implications; in order to increase the adjustment of students to the university academic hope and academic self-regulation should be taught and promoted.

Based on Quality Deployment Function analysis, found out that Extensible Markup Language (XML) could be more proper programming language to achieve flexibility as one of the most important engineering characteristics to fulfill user’s requirements. The important ambiguous issue in this context was how the internal communication between the requirements was; As a result of simulating these relationships, it was found that the way of communication overshadows the whole results. At the time of planning in the field of data quality and presenting a model in this regard, it should be considered that the factors may have conflicting relationships and unilaterally addressing a requirement or characteristic without considering its relationship with other cases could have the opposite result and efforts related to it will be fruitless.

The gradual separation of science from philosophy and then the creation of academic disciplines are two historical evidences of this claim. The industrial revolution and its consequences, the factory system, the professionalization approach in science and technology, and the analytic thinking, are the most important factors in creation the divergent trend of science and technology. Since the middle of the twentieth century, with the advent of two flows of "interdisciplinaries" and "emergent technologies", the convergence of science and technology has begun. The domination of "systemic thinking" instead of "analytic thinking" and as well as the "deprofessionalization" approach, instead of the "professionalization" approach, are two factors that influence this change of paradigm. In this paper, with a cultural-historical approach and the use of existing documents, we seek to explain the claim that the trend of science and technology has been diverging for several hundred years and gradually, in the mid-twentieth century, evidence of its convergence has been observed.

Unfortunately, the spread of social damage and its anti-Semitism on the cultural identity of the younger generation threatens the peace and balance of sustainability institutions such as the family and education. The result is that, considering the final part of this paper, one can reduce the scope of ambiguity in the cultural intervention of the university to reduce social harm. As well as the collective responsibility of the indifference of the executive directors of universities, especially in the provincial center; to provide academic units with awareness of clear legal, sociological, and cultural strategies, they will provide functional and coherent patterns to reduce the distress and infectious (social) syndrome of urban society. And provided an innovative, dynamic, and scientific discursive atmosphere to attract new ideas and methods.

Indexed articles on the quality of college life were obtained from some prestigious academic databases in education. Articles on the quality of college life published outside Iran between 1992 and 2019 and those published in national databases between 2011 and 2019, were analyzed. A survey was also performed with some faculty members selected through convenience purposive sampling. After coding and categorizing 74 initial questions, their content validity was confirmed in two ways: qualitative (the opinion of 10 experts in the field of educational management) and quantitative (testing the relevance of each item through content validity ratio (CVR). Low validity questions were removed and finally 62 items were approved. Using the Holsti coefficient, the reliability of the questionnaire was estimated to be 0.91. An inductive approach to content analysis showed that four components of research facilities, learning opportunities, assessment and educational facilities were some variables that formed the quality of college life with an emphasis on educational facilities. Given the important role that university graduates play for the society in reaching its goals, the criteria suggested in the proposed model can help decision makers improve quality of college life among students with an emphasis on educational facilities.
