        The current study was performed with the aim of investigating the relationship between self-directed learning, self-efficacy and information literacy and knowledge sharing behaviour among male students of high school of district 2 of Isfahan in the academic year 93-94 through the descriptive approach of the correlational type. All high school male students of district 2 with the number of 4995 formed the statistical population of the current study that among them 356 people were selected to participate in the current study by the random cluster sampling method. Data collection tools in this study were 4 questionnaires of self-directed learning of Fisher et al. (2001) with 40 items, self-efficacy of Sherer and Maddux (1982) with 17 items, information literacy with 18 items and knowledge sharing with 15 items, that their validity was confirmed, and their reliability, also, was obtained 0.78, 0.90, 0.91 and 0.85, respectively, by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Obtained data from the research were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics including correlation coefficient, stepwise regression and analysis of variance. The test results of main theories showed that there was a significant relationship between self-directed learning and knowledge sharing behaviour, between self-efficacy and knowledge sharing behaviour and between information literacy and knowledge sharing behaviour. Also, the results showed that there was a significant relationship between the propensity for learning dimension, the self-management dimension and self-control dimension and knowledge sharing behaviour. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the desire to behaviour starting of self-efficacy dimension, the desire to expand the effort for affecting the task of self-efficacy dimension, resistant in facing with the obstacles of self-efficacy dimension  and knowledge sharing behaviour. The results of stepwise regression revealed that propensity and self-management dimensions of self-directed learning have the ability of predicting the knowledge sharing behaviour. The relationship among the propensity dimension to expand the effort for affecting the task has the ability of predicting the knowledge sharing behaviour. Among the views of respondents in all four variables based on the education base, there was no significant difference. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to the effect of training Cognitive and Metacognitive Learning Strategies on academic self-handicapping and self-directed learning of Entrance Exam students. This study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female high school students of Khorramabad city who were studying in the academic year 2018-2019. Thirty students were selected using multistage cluster sampling and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Students in the experimental group received training cognitive and metacognitive strategies training in eight sessions but the students in the sample group did not receive any training. Before and after training, both sample groups completed pre-test, post-test, and follow-up questionnaires for academic self-handicapping and self-directed learning. Data were analyzed by Statistical software package in social sciences. The results showed that training cognitive and meta-cognitive learning strategies significantly reduced academic self-handicapping (p=0/001) and significantly increased self-directed learning (p=0/001) in the sample students. According to the findings, it can indirectly reduce academic self-disability and increase self-directed learning by training cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies to teachers. Also, by training these strategies to students, teachers can also directly reduce analytical disabilities and increase self-directed learning Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to explain the mediating role of self-directed learning in the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and academic procrastination of high school students. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population was all 6100 high school students in Miandoab, of which 361 were selected using cluster sampling using Morgan table. Data collection tools were standardized questionnaires of metacognitive beliefs of Wales et al., Gagilmino self-directed learning, and Solomon and Rodoblum. Validity (content and structure) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) of the questionnaires indicated that the measuring instruments had good validity and reliability. The results of testing the hypotheses by SPSS and PLS software and using correlation tests and structural equation modeling showed that Self-directed learning plays a significant role in the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and academic procrastination (p<0.01) and the relationship between the three components of positive beliefs about worry (p<0.05), cognitive confidence (p<0.05) and cognitive self-awareness. (p<0.01) with academic procrastination and with the mediating role of self-directed learning is negative and significant. Self-leadership is positive and significant (p<0.01). Finally, the results showed that self-leadership learning has a negative and significant relationship with academic procrastination (p< 0.01). Finally, the results showed that self-directed learning has a negative and significant relationship with academic procrastination (p< 0.01). Therefore, by strengthening positive metacognitive beliefs in students and, consequently, increasing self-directed learning, it is possible to reduce academic procrastination in them.
