This process is known as one of the important factors of economic development in many countries and many universities and educational institutions offer courses in this field. Considering the growing importance of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship development policy needs a precise basis from a theoretical point of view in order to help create an entrepreneurial economy with more entrepreneurs and achieve the goals set in the country. Entrepreneurship in a competitive and market-based economy is a key role today, because in a dynamic economy, ideas, products and services are always changing and because all active elements in the economic scene (producer, consumer and capital) transition) should engage in entrepreneurship. On the other hand, with the presence of women in the society, the role of this stratum becomes more apparent in economic processes, which makes it necessary to pay attention to it.

The teaching of architectural designing in designing workshops (especially in Iran) as a pivot of architecture education was in agreement by all scholars of educational and architectural problems. Training and the process of training in architectural design is one of the most important ways of demonstrating and developing creativity in the educational environment. But there is currently no specific pattern that faculty can effectively use in the lesson of designing architectural lessons. However, the mere reliance on the traditions of architectural education or compliance is not merely a common criterion for academic instruction appropriate to the development of architectural education. This research examines the designing and testing of a prescriptive model (Continuity of creativity model) for the continuity of creativity in architectural design classes. A prescriptive model based on analytical-structural implications of existing objective models and with continuity attitude was arrived to. Then, to test the model, a semi-experimental method was used to test the hypothesis. The statistical society of the study is consisted of all students of plan No.4 of Mahshar Azad University studying in BA of architecture in 2016-17 in Azad University of Mahshahr. Due to the small size of the population, 30 of them were randomly assigned into two groups of control (15) and experimental (15). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS.15. The prescriptive model indices were verified by professors and architects in using Laserl software. The results showed that education is a creative process composed of an educational procedure including phases such as producing of solution idea, recommending and introducing an idea, idea evaluation, reviewing, final adoption, and making decision. As the prescriptive model focuses on the role of educational process method by professor and students` participation in learning process, the effectiveness of developing students` unconscious mind by following brain storm, the evaluation of ideas prior to hasty decision, and considering reviewing in idealization of this model was approved. It results in positive attitude, improving satisfaction, and increasing creativity in learners. The students who were trained according to the prescriptive model had higher satisfaction, more positive attitude toward the course, had a better attitude toward increasing their creativity during the design process than the course based on common approaches. “Continuity of creativity” model can play a more effective role in the in achieving the goal of promoting/ enhancing creativity of students than traditional teaching methods. Students could start, organize, and proceed design process by getting help from professors to achieve a favorable result. This theory can be a guide to practice in organizing architectural design classes to enhance learners' creativity. It is worth noting that this model is not defective and does not claim to address all educational inadequacies in the design of architecture, since this claim requires years of research and the testing of the model and conducting meta-analytical and systematic studies on the findings of numerous studies.

This reconsideration is necessary, because there is a threat that the individualistic and physiologic approach now arranges the concept of the creative city over any further exploration of creativity and its wider role in the economic, social and cultural environment. Creativity is shown as an issue in the domination of talented artists and geniuses in the theories of the creative city. This individualistic approach leads to ignore the social dimensions, levels, and functions of creativity. However, creativity is increasingly assumed as a social phenomenon in some studies, especially in the context of social groups, organizations, and city. An integrative review of the literature reveals that the engagement in creativity processes occurs not only in individuals, but in individuals interacting with each other, in group and team works, multilevel systems and finally in complex systems such as cities. There is a need to re-conceptualize creativity as a social phenomenon, resulting from the interaction between human beings and other people, their surrounding environment and the artifacts that represent essential collective knowledge. This article offers a conceptual framework for the main processes of social creativity that integrates perspectives from a body of related literature by using a conceptual map. Criteria for social creativity in the context of urban planning can be categorized into three general categories as contextual factors, sustained everyday practices and conscious activities. The most basic requirements of social creativity are the suitable contextual factors (a set of historical, social, cultural, and political conditions) and the existence or creation of motivation in society. Social creativity in urban planning context requires a paradigm shift and change of approach toward creativity from individualistic (physiologic and expert-based) viewpoint to holistic (sociological and people-based) approach. This paradigm shift plays the role of creativity in the larger domain of urban planning discipline and thus the literature of the creative city theory provides the basis for considering it as a social issue. Creative urban planning requires a collaborative, facilitative, and participatory process based on the discourse making among different stockholders and provides the possibility for the local society to accept the role of experts in the process of urban planning. Therefore, this paper discusses the relationship between individual and social creativity and analyzes the need for the social approach in the urban planning. The paper also suggests an agenda for re-qualifying the creative city theory according to this fundamentally social conception, including how this can be achieved through implanting a new concept of social creativity. The findings include a conceptual diagram which shows the analysis and interpretation of the relationship between actors and social creative process, context and the results of creativity. Social creativity requires social action and adopting process-based approach to urban planning, promoting dialogue among actors, participation and everyday experiences. In conclusion, several proposals are offered for the application of concept in the theory of social creativity and creative city. Manuscript profile -

The researchers interviewed experts in the fields of AI, law, and English language material development. The researchers analyzed real-world cases of AI-TEFL generated content usage, particularly within academic settings. The findings revealed that AI-generated content challenges conventional notions of authorship and creativity by introducing autonomous AI creators while also augmenting human creativity. The ambiguous landscape of intellectual property rights necessitates adaptive legal frameworks. While AI challenges established norms, it also offers opportunities for collaboration and inspiration. To address these issues, collaborative frameworks, ethical guidelines, and transparency were proposed as integral solutions. Respondents emphasize collaborative efforts to address the ethical and legal concerns associated with AI's influence on content generation within the academic communities. The implications extend to various sectors, including academia, creative industries, and legal systems. This study underscores the pressing need for a delicate balance between AI's creative potential and the preservation of ethical and legal standards in the evolving landscape of content creation.

The statistical population of the study included all elementary school teachers in 2019-2020, and the statistical sample (191 people) was selected through stratified random sampling method. The data collecting instruments were Bass’s (1985) transformational Leadership questionnaire (α=0/90), Schaufeli’s (2001) job engagement scale (α=0/78), and Averil’s (1996) emotional creativity questionnaire (α=0/70). The data were analyzed at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics, and structural equation modeling analysis and SPSS 22 were used to analyze the hypotheses.Findings: Findings indicated the role of emotional creativity as a mediator between transformational leadership and job engagement. There was a positive and significant relationship between the components of transformational leadership (inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, idealized influence & individual consideration) and job engagement. Also, there was a positive and significant relationship between the components of transformational leadership (inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, idealized influence & individual consideration) and emotional creativity (P<0/01).Conclusion: This study showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the components of transformational leadership and teachers' job engagement and emotional creativity. According to this finding, if managers see transformational leadership strategies as a requirement on their leadership style, they can make teachers enthusiastic about their work. On the other hand, by confirming the role of emotional creativity as a mediating variable, it is suggested that in order to increase the job engagement of elementary school teachers, managers can promote their emotional creativity.

Results: Results revealed that there was a meaningful relationship between deterministic thinking and creativity (r = -0/40). Also among the subscales of deterministic thinking the relationship between absolute orientation and deterministic thinking in negative events with creativity is meaningful. While the relationship between deterministic thinking in interaction with others and deterministic thinking in predicting future with creativity is not meaningful relationship. Moreover, the relationship between deterministic thinking and emotional creativity is a meaningful relation (r = -0/47). Also the relation between deterministic thinking in interaction with others and deterministic thinking in negative events and absolute orientation with emotional creativity is meaningful relation but the relation between deterministic thinking in predicting future with emotional creativity is not meaningful.

Their teachers – a group of six- were also given a questionnaire of thinking style in teaching. The Pearson correlation coefficient and the regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings show that, in general, the match of judicial thinking style (r=-0.34,p<0/01 ) and conservative thinking style (r=-0.42,p<0/01) have meaningful relationships with innovation and extension of creativity (r=-0/32,p<0/01). Concerning the investigation of the four dimensions of creativity, the findings of the study show that the match of the judicial thinking style (Beta= -0.35) and mismatch of the liberal thinking style (Beta =0.37) were the most predictive. The final findings of the study show that the match of the thinking styles has more relationship with creativity than the mismatch of thinking styles.

For recognizing power of creativity and storytelling of the authors of these books, the present article tries to study some elements of story, such as plot, character, dialogue, verisimilitude and point of view. Some narratologists, like Gerald Prince and Rimmon–Kenan interpret point of view as “focalization”. Based on their views, the analysis of point of view or focalization in the story of “the Arab and pot of water” shows that the numbers of focalized characters in Book I of Masnavi Ma'navi are more than other books. It seems that Jalāl-al Din Rumī expands the plot, increases the numbers of characters and prolongs the dialogues, and on this way, he fascinates the story. The authors of present article attempt to show which poets have successfully acted; the unknown poet of Book VII of Masnavi Ma'navi, despite having the Book I of Masnavi Ma'navi, has not been able to use the ways of storytelling of Jalāl-al Din Rumī.

Fostering a dynamic, creative education nurtures children's intellectual, social, cultural, and creative growth. Crucially, reforming educational structures necessitates the meticulous design of spaces intricately linked to students' activities, finely attuned to optimize the holistic growth—physical, mental, emotional, and social—of children. This research endeavors to introduce a comprehensive model for the design of group educational spaces, emphasizing the active participation of preschool children throughout the design process. Employing a nuanced amalgamation of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the study underscored the pivotal role of architectural education, revealing starkly divergent outcomes between control and test groups. Physical elements, such as the interplay of color schemes, spatial configurations, and the predilection for well-illuminated, open spaces adorned with natural light and transparent architectural elements, emerged prominently. Additionally, the study unveiled the paramount importance of fostering spaces conducive to peer dialogue, artistic expression, comfort-enhancing large cushions, personalized areas, circular tables, and verdant, green surroundings. These insights pave the way for shaping educational spaces to meet children's needs, fostering an enriched and inclusive learning environment through their active involvement. Manuscript profile -
