Method of the research was descriptive and field-searching. The statistical society consists of all the male and female teachers and students of science education in the teacher training centers of Tehran province. Since the population of the society was only 300 people, the sampling was carried out by the WRT sampling method. For data collection, the researcher designed a 31-component questionnaire. The content validity of the questionnaire was assessed by experts and its construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach's alpha method (α=0.84) was eventually verified. All the data were analyzed via the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, independent t-test, and ANOVA variance analysis in SPSS software. The results indicated that student teachers of experimental science education do not have a correct and sufficient understanding of the nature of science and its components -- philosophical foundations of science, different steps of an empirical method, scientific achievements – and there is no significant relation between the teaching experiences of the teacher students and their understanding of the true nature of the empirical science. In addition, there is a significant correlation at p ≤ 0.01 between the student teachers’ performances and their understanding of the nature of science, and the sex of the student teachers was also significant in understanding the nature of science.

The method being used was of the descriptive, co relational, one.27339 girl students, in third grade of junior high school in Tehran, were the statistical population. Amongst whom, 48 students, being about 13 years old, were selected by multiple cluster sampling. Data, then, were collected by a questioner, focusing on the student- teacher relationship style as well as the average scores of the students, during the first semester in1388-1389. By means of the psychometric criteria, both the validity and the reliability of the questioner have been verified. Descriptive analysis (mean, slandered deviation) and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the mean scores of the both positive behaviors of the teachers, as: leadership, understanding, freedom, supporting, and negative behaviors, as: indecisiveness, aggressiveness, dissatisfaction and seriousness, were very low. It is, also, represented from the multiple regression analysis that not only can positive relationship style predict the academic achievements of the students (R2=0/366, F=275/81, p < 0/0001), but also, by means of the negative one, students’ low achievements would be predicted, (R2=0/504, F=134/41, p < 0/0001). In positive relationship style, freedom and supporting are the best predictors however, the most powerful one is the leadership of the teacher, predicting the student achievements up to 38/7(R2=0/387, F=302/041, p < 0/0001). Although all the elements in negative style are able to predict the low achievements of the student, the indecisiveness is the best indicators, 27/6, (R2=0/276, F=182/01, p < 0/0001).

To substantiate such an objective, a descriptive – correlative survey design was utilized. The target population comprised all the students studying at Islamic Azad university Khorasgan Branch at various educational levals during 2006-2007 academic year. 250 students were randomly selected using stratified sampling method and sample selection formula. The instrument for collecting the data was Peter Honey`s model of measuring the creative thinking which was modified by the researcher so that certain demographic variables such as sex, parents` level of education, students` average scores, educational level and type of subject area were fitted into it. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted by both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Whereas the former measured frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation values, the latter enlisted dependent t-test, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson product moment formula and Tukey test for interpreting the data. The findings revealed that all target students enjoyed creative thinking at an average value. In addition, there was no meaningful relationship between creative thinking on the one hand and sex, parents` level of education, students` average scores and type of subject areas on the other hand. However, the relationship between the students` educational level and creative thinking was significant. The results obtained from Tukey test indicated that there was a meaningful difference for creative thinking between students involved in two-year education and MA/MS students (P=0/021). By contrast, such difference between BA/BS students and MA/MS students was (P=0/002) which was also significant. Overall, it was concluded that creative thinking was higher in MA/MS students compared to the students involved in a two-year education. Manuscript profile -

Reinforcing the students’ self-awareness and their development in math are the top two elements being discussed in this research. The sample of students being chosen is from a rural complex on the suburb of Torbat-e-Heidarie town. Once one control group and an experimental one (each consisting of 15 members) were selected, the experimental group was taught about methods of problem-solving during five 45-minute sessions. Then, both a pre-test (including 18 questions on math) and a post-test (including 18 questions on math and 80 questions on self-awareness) were given. The questions of two tests had the same level of difficulty. Having been analyzed by co- variance, the scores of the pre and post tests indicated that there was significant relationship between the pre and post tests. The mean score, in the post-test, has increased remarkably, comparing with the pre-test, in the experimental group whereas, such an improvement has not been noticed among those of the control group. What being concluded from the mean scores in pre and post tests in the experimental group is that math problem-solving methods can have a great effect on reinforcing the students’ self-awareness as well as their improvement in math.

Regarding the role of GDA and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ problems with grammar learning, the present study attempted to investigate the effect of GDA on EFL learners’ grammar achievement. To this end, 70 students participated in this experimental research and were given the Oxford Placement Test (OPT). As a result, a total of 52 participants were chosen through a selection process involving the OPT with subsequent random assignment to both the experimental and control groups. Subsequently, a grammar test was administered as a pretest for both groups. The former were taught through online GDA through Adobe Custom while the latter had their own conventional method of explicit instruction. After 10 sessions of treatment instructions, both groups sat for the grammar posttest, parallel to the pretest. The application of the independent samples t-test revealed that there were significant differences in the post-test grammar achievement between the participants in the experimental group and the control group. Specifically, the individuals in the experimental group exhibited superior performance compared to their counterparts in the control group. The results of this study can shed light on the effectiveness of GDA, in grammar achievement among Iranian learners. In line with these findings, some implications for language stakeholders were provided. Manuscript profile -

The Zanjan University’s students in the academic year 2016-2017 have been selected as the statistical population. The research sample consisted of 489 people (277 females and 212 males) who are selected by cluster random sampling method. To summarize the data, a short form of the NEO-FFI Questionnaire, the Academic Resilience Scale (ARI), the Shatte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, a researcher-made questionnaire on attitudes toward education and career prospects are used. The proposed model was evaluated by structural equation modeling using AMOS-7 software. The results showed that the population-cognitive variables negatively predict academic achievement. Among the personality factors (openness and conscientiousness), emotional intelligence and interest in education and career prospects positively predict academic achievement. Emotional intelligence also predicts academic achievement through resilience. Educational resilience does not mediate the relationship between attitudes toward education and career prospects, gender, age, and academic achievement, and academic resilience mediates only the relationship between personality performance and academic achievement. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of students, it is recommended to teach and promote the level of resilience and emotional intelligence, conscientious personality traits and openness through workshops.

The present study is correlational type of study. The study population included 13000 students of Kerman Shahid Bahonar University, which 380 (150 males, 230 females) were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Participants completed the Family Communication Patterns Questionnaire (Fitzpatrick and Ritchie, 1997), Academic Self-concept Questionnaire (Li Yu and Wang, 2005), and Achievement Motivation Questionnaire (Herman, 1970). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and path analysis test. The results showed that family communication patterns positively and significantly predict the academic self-concept and academic self-concept positively and significantly predict the achievement motivation. Communication patterns through a mediator variable of academic self-concept predict the achievement motivation. As a result, as general effects of two direct and non-direct paths increase, dimensions of family communication patterns and academic self-concept will have a mediating role for academic self-concepts in the relationship between communication patterns and achievement motivation.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between attachment styles, risk perception and fear of success and students’ academic achievement. The study population consisted of all the male and female high school students in Urmia in the 2014-2015 educational years. A total of 380 students were selected using the multi-stage cluster sampling technique in terms of district, gender and educational level. Data were collected using attachment styles questionnaire (Van Oudenhoven, Hofstra and Becker, 2003), risk perception scale (Benthin, Slovic and Severson, 1993), fear of success questionnaire (Zuckerman and Ellison, 1976) and the average of students’ grades. The questionnaires have a desirable validity and appropriate reliability. Data were analyzed with Pearson’s correlation coefficient and path analysis techniques. The results showed that in the first model, the secure attachment style had significant, positive, direct and indirect effects on academic achievement. The variables of risk perception and fear of success proved good mediators between secure attachment style and academic achievement. In addition, in the second model, insecure attachment style had a direct and significant effect on academic achievement; however, it had no significant indirect effect on academic achievement. The variables of risk perception and fear of success were not good mediators between insecure attachment style and academic achievement. Based on the results, emphasis should be placed on the roles of attachment styles, risk perception and fear of success in academic achievement. Manuscript profile -

The longitudinal design of this research is a panel study in which the necessary measurements are made over time and at specific intervals. The students studying in the three semesters were the statistical population of this research. The sample size was determined by GPower software and based on the type of statistical tests required. After screening more than one hundred thousand pairs of "student grade-teacher evaluation", the final analysis was performed on the data of 1970 students who had studied with a certain professor in three consecutive semesters. The tool for collecting the evaluation data of the professors was the official survey form of the institution in the intended semesters. The analysis showed that with the increase of the student’s final grade, his/her evaluation grade from the professor in the next semester increases significantly. Supplementary analysis showed that the effect of this initial score remains stable until two semesters late. It can be said that with a one-unit increase in students’ final grade, after two semesters, a significant increase between 1 and 4% in their evaluation grade from professors can be seen. The regression coefficients of the relationship between the grade point average of the whole class and the teaching evaluation of professors were also significant in the case of two consecutive semesters. Finally, the analyzes on the grades of the specialized and main courses of the students showed that compared to the past semesters, there is a grade inflation in the groups of humanities, literature, architecture and art. Based on this evidence, it is suggested that the phenomenon of grade inflation be considered from the point of view of its possible connection and interrelation with the way student evaluations are used in the employment and academic decisions of faculty members.

The study took place in Shabestar city during the fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year and involved 60 students who were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group, with 30 students in each group. The students had similar scores on a pre-test of science knowledge. The data collection instruments were a teacher-made achievement test and a problem-solving perception questionnaire was designed by Heppner and Petersen (1982) using a 5-point Likert scale. The instruments had a split-half reliability coefficient of 87% and a Cronbach’s alpha of 85%, respectively. The experimental group received instruction using the UbD curriculum, while the control group followed the traditional curriculum. To analyze the collected data, descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution tables, minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics such as univariate analysis of covariance) with SPSS 25 software were used.The results showed that the UbD curriculum significantly increased the students’ science achievement and problem-solving perception compared to the traditional curriculum. These findings indicate that the UbD curriculum is a more effective and engaging way of teaching science to sixth-grade students, as it fosters their understanding of the subject matter and their problem-solving perception. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence that supports the use of backward design and authentic assessment in science education. Manuscript profile -

Learning styles is one of the interesting research fields in behavioral sciences; Therefore, due to the increasing amount of research in the learning styles field, it is necessary to conduct combined research in this field. This research was carried out by the meta-analysis method with the aim of numerically combining the quantitative results of researches in this field. The research population is all post-graduate theses and articles in the field of the relationship between learning styles and academic achievement indicators in the country between 1371 and 1401 years. From the initial 189 studies, 98 cases were included in the meta-analysis based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 384 effect sizes were obtained from these studies. The results showed that the summary effect size of learning styles with academic achievement was .19, although subsequent analyzes showed that the effect size is different in learning styles various. The largest effect size is related to Jackson's style profile and the smallest effect size is related to Fleming's styles with academic achievement indicators. The implications of this meta-analysis show the relatively low impact of learning styles on academic achievement and emphasize the need to investigate the role of mediating variables in the relationship between these two variables.

The statistical population of this research was all high school students of Urmia in 2014-2015 academic year. To this end, 360 students (210 girls and 150 boys) were selected by random multi-staged cluster sampling method. All of the participants completed the educational stress and educational help seeking questionnaires. Also, the GPAs of the previous year were considered as indicator of the students` academic achievement. The data was analyzed by Pearson correlation and multivariate regression. The findings showed a negative significant relationship between educational stress and academic achievement and a positive and significant relationship between educational help seeking and academic achievement. Moreover, there was no significant relationship between educational stress and educational help seeking (p≤0/01).

To this end, a sample consisting of 363 boy students of high schools in Rafsanjan (210 from regular schools and 153 from special schools) were selected. To measure the academic achievement of the students, their math scores were used and to determine the professional competencies of math teachers, a questionnaire was used. After exploratory factor analysis of the questionnaire, three factors including competencies of cognitive, affective and skill were identified. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the fundamental factors were found to be 0.88, 0.87 and 0.83, respectively. The results of the convergent and discriminant validities showed that the questionnaire had sufficiently good validity. Then, math teachers’ professional competencies from the students' point of view were prioritized. The results showed that between competencies of cognitive, affective and skill of math teachers and mathematical achievement of the students there was a positive relationship and that its amount in special schools was more than regular schools. It was found that skill competencies of teachers in regular schools and affective competencies of teachers in special schools can be predictors of the studentsʼ mathematical achievement. Finally, the importances of professional competencies in the process of training, attraction and performance appraisal of math teachers were emphasized. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, 166 students (98 male and 68 female) were randomly selected with cluster sampling from Islamic Azad University branch Abadan that they are enrolment in pre-mathematics courses in the second semester of the 1389-90 year. The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students scale and Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Anxiety Scale were used respectively for measuring studying approaches and mathematics anxiety, Final exam scores was considered as achievement in mathematics. The Pearson correlation test didn’t show a significant relationship between deep, strategic and surface studying approaches with mathematics achievement. Mathematics anxiety had negatively significant related to mathematics achievement and also all subscales of studying approaches had a significant relation with mathematics anxiety. Using the structural equation modeling for identifying relations between studying approaches and math achievement in the presence of math anxiety indicated a surface studying approach has a negative indirect significant effect on mathematics achievement. The result shows that students with surface studying approach show a weaker performance in mathematics, even in the non-deep tests. The results of this study can be used in academic counseling to increase mathematics achievement. Manuscript profile -

A sample of 366 female high students were selected through multistaged sampling. To measure the students̕ working memory and intelligence, the researchers used information processing index (IPI) and Raven̕s progressive matrix respectively. The students̕ GPAs were used as the indicator of their academic achievement. In this study, using Pearson correlation coefficient and independent samples T-test, the relationship and difference between working memory and intelligence of bilingual and monolingual students were found, and the regression analysis were run in order to predict the role of working memory and intelligence in the students' academic achievement. The obtained results revealed that there was a significant relationship among the scores of working memory, intelligence, and academic achievement. However, although the scores of the bilingual students in intelligence test were higher than those of monolingual students, there was no significant difference between these two groups. Moreover, working memory and academic achievement were significantly higher among bilingual students as compared to monolinguals. Although bilingual students, due to having plenty of linguistic recourses and experiences in phonological in phonological and semantic structures, have a better performance in their working memory and academic achievement assignments as compared to their monolingual counterpart's, they cannot achieve better scores in intelligence tests due to the pivotal role of language as compared to other more effective variables in intelligence scores Manuscript profile -

For example, demographic factors like age and marital status, and individual factors like education and experience were recognized as strong job achievement determinants. Recent experimental evidence also supports that social-demographic features (age, gender) are the basic or strong predictors of job achievement.In this respect, the issue of emotional intelligence has also been recognized as another factor in this field. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. A sample of 100 people from the. Staff of Islamic Azad University of Tabriz was selected, whose objective and subjective job achievements were examined. The results of these examinations were as follows: 1) There is no significant and direct correlation between emotional intelligence and subjective job achievement, 2)There is a significant and direct correlation between emotional intelligence and objective job achievement, 3)There is no significant correlation between age and objective job achievements, 4) There is no significant correlation between age and subjective job achievements, 5)Score difference of objective job achievement based on gender is significant, and 6) Score difference of subjective job achievement based on gender is insignificant.

The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-method design, consisting of two phases for data collection and analysis. In the quantitative phase, 40 male and 40 female students aged 16-18 were conveniently sampled from tenth-grade high schools in Lahijan, Iran. They were divided into two experimental and two control groups. The experimental groups received instruction using the team-teaching model, while the control groups received traditional instruction. Data analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA, which revealed a statistically significant improvement in the performance of the experimental groups compared to the control groups. Due to gender differences, the results showed no significant disparities in the outcomes achieved by male and female students. In the qualitative phase, the same participants from the experimental groups were asked to provide open-ended responses regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the team-teaching method, using a questionnaire developed by Jones and Harris (2012). The responses were carefully examined using open coding techniques, and common themes were identified through systematic comparison of the codes. The findings indicated that team-teaching offered a wide range of benefits. Considering gender differences, it was evident that male participants perceived the benefits of the team-teaching model to outweigh the drawbacks more than their female counterparts. These findings have pedagogical implications for Iranian teachers and theoreticians in the field of English language instruction. Manuscript profile -

In this research, the status of psychological separation and its quadruple components, namely: emotional, functional, conflictual and attitudinal, in relation to parents and their role in student academic achievement have been investigated. Based on data obtained from the Hoffman Psychological Separation Inventory (PSI), administered on a total of 174 unmarried available students of the Islamic Azad University, having separated from their parents in pursuit of their academic careers; the overall score of psychological separation along with its different facets were determined and the Academic Achievement Index (AAI) was assessed. Statistical Analysis of data revealed a significant difference between the two sexes, showing a higher degree of independence in boys in respect to the overall score of psychological separation in general and the component of emotional independence in particular. Regression measures of AAI against psychological separation was meaningful in boys, the percentage of predictable variance being 13. A verage score comparison of Iranian students with those of their foreign counterparts revealed a lower level of conflictual and functional independence and a higher level of attitudinal independence in the sample. Results suggest that special attention should be devoted to the different aspects of separation regarding type of independecy and gender of both, students and parents. Manuscript profile -

Structural equation modeling was used to assess the structural relations among achievement emotions, cognitive appraisals, and academic engagement. The results indicated that 1) the adaptive cognitive appraisals related positively and significantly to positive achievement emotions, 2) the adaptive cognitive appraisals related negatively and significantly to negative achievement emotions, 3) the nonadaptive cognitive appraisals related negatively and significantly to positive achievement emotions , 4) the nonadaptive cognitive appraisals related positively and significantly to negative achievement emotions and, 5) the positive achievement emotions related positively and significantly to academic engagement and finally 6) the negative achievement emotions related negatively and significantly to academic engagement. The results also indicated that the positive and negative achievement emotions fully mediated the relation between the adaptive and non-adaptive cognitive appraisals and academic engagement and this model had a good fitness. All of the regression weights in the both models were significant and the mediating models of positive and negative achievement emotions, accounted for 49% and 26% of the variances in academic engagement, respectively.

Based on correlational design, 140 Tehran senior secondary school female only students majoring in biology were selected by multistage random sampling and completed Academic Motivation Scale (AMS; Varelland et al.,1992) and Academic Self-Concept Scale (Delavare, 1994). Academic achievement was measured based on the mean of the final scores obtained in biology, physics and chemistry. The findings showed that academic self-concept was associated positively with intrinsic motivation and academic achievement. Furthermore, the results of path analysis showed the significance of the direct effect of academic self-concept on academic achievement while the indirect effect of extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation and amotivation on academic achievement was meaningful by the mediation of academic self-concept. Therfore, the mediating role of academic self-concept in the relationship between academic motivation and academic achievement was confirmed. Manuscript profile -

Learning Strategies questionnaire by Pentrich & et al (M.S.Q.L) and Cassidy & Long's problem-solving styles questionnaire were administered. Data were analyzed using Pearson's coefficient of correlation, independent t test and multiple regressions. The result showed that there is a relation between learning strategies and educational achievement. Also, out of problem-solving styles, only creative style shows meaningful relation with educational achievement. Moreover, there is a positive relation between the various learning strategies and creative problem-solving, confidence, and attitude and a meaningful negative relation with helplessness. Control and avoidance styles didn’t also show any relation with learning strategies. Furthermore, no meaningful difference was observed between gender and learning strategies except in metacognitive self-regulation strategy. Also, the students in the humanities use learning strategies more than students in engineering. However, there wasn’t any difference between them in using problem-solving styles. The results of regression analysis showed that elaboration strategy and creative problem-solving style can predict the educational achievement. On the whole, learning strategies and problem-solving styles explain 5.8 % of educational achievement variance. Manuscript profile -
