While many universities in different countries strive to attract international students, only certain universities succeed. Iranian universities have not had much success in this field, despite the emphasis being placed on foreign students' programs in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This dissertation highlights the key factors behind the success of the country's universities. A study of the records shows that universities in countries with specific brand structure have a greater chance of attracting international students. Of course, the impact of those universities on education and research cannot be taken into account. With these considerations in mind, this paper examines the impact of government structure, brand and academic status on the attraction of international students. For this purpose, referring to the statistics and information of 23 countries that are more or less in the geographical area of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which have some features in common with our country, ranking their universities (of course in terms of country statistics) and Using the partial least squares method, the general attraction model of international students is designed. Therefore, the model confirms the effect of government structure and national brand along with the ability of universities to attract foreign students. Manuscript profile

This study investigated the relationship between learning style preferences and the nationality background of Iranian and Iraqi University EFL students. A total number of 40 male and female participants, 20 Iraqi and 20 Iranian, majoring in EFL, took part in this study. To conduct the study, a qualitative-quantitative method was used which encompassed two kinds of data-gathering instruments: a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The first instrument was Cohen, Oxford, and Chi's (2001) online learning style survey questionnaire which assessed the participants’ general approaches to learning, and the second instrument was a semi-structured interview that asked some other questions not covered by the questionnaire. Prior to using the learning style survey questionnaire, a pilot study was conducted to validate and refine the questionnaire. Statistical procedures such as descriptive statistics which consisted of Mean, Skewness, Kurtosis, and Standard Deviation were used. Moreover, the Chi-square, Cramer’s V, and T value were used to analyze the collected data. The obtained results revealed that the relationship between learning style preferences and nationality background was meaningful and the learning styles of students from these two nationalities were different from each other. From a quantitative standpoint, Iranian learners were more open-oriented learners, while Iraqi participants were more closure-oriented in their learning process. The results also revealed that not only the Learning Style Preferences (LSPs) were different across groups, but also were various for individuals in each group. The results of this study offer valuable insights for teachers who are working with learners from diverse nationalities. Manuscript profile

Abstract This research aimed at investigating the effect of teaching by the Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) method on the academic achievement of high school students in physics by a quasi-experimental method. The research Population were the first grade female students of Falavarjan high schools. The study was conducted by using two groups randomly-selected of high school students (each group with 28 students). The experiment group was taught by the TEAL method and the control group was taught by the traditional method. The academic achievement of the subjects were assessed by the teacher-made pre-test and post-test. The validity was confirmed by the experts and its reliability was established by cronbach's Alpha (α=0.86) coefficient (86%). The data was analyzed through inferential statistics (ANCOVA). The results showed that the academic achievement by the TEAL method have been higher than those using the traditional method of learning at the probability level of 0/001. Manuscript profile

This collaboration among researchers results in the development of scientific knowledge and hence the attainment of wider information. The significance of collaboration in the production of scientific publications in today's complex world where in the age of technology is very apparent. Scientists from many nations have realized that in order to get their work wildly used and cited to by experts, they must collaborate. This research aims to survey the rate of collaboration among Iranian LIS students on the production of scientific articles for the annual student conference of Al-Zahra University and assess their contribution to domestic scientific production in the field of Library and Information Sciences. It is through the efforts of the Al-zahra library and information science student's association and their lecturers that this annual conference happens every year and has been able to bring together lecturers, librarians and LIS students in order to debate the latest information in the aforementioned field since its establishment in 2000 for seven consecutive years. As this is a student conference and most of the LIS students of all levels submit papers to this conference. The aim of the present article is to survey the rate of collaboration among contributors which in turn should clarify the contribution of Iranian LIS students in the production of these articles. To that end submitted articles and thematic inclinations of each conference has been examined. Research results indicated that in the seven conferences held 63 articles were present in oral presentations form, of the 91 authors collaborating in the production of these articles, 51 were female and the rest i.e. 37 were male.

around a decade ago, while studying the structure and content of human values in Iranian students (Delkhamoush, 2005), some deviations from the theoretical model of Schwartz’ Basic human values (1992, 2006) were identified. The present study aims to explain the alterations in structure of Iranian students’ values dealing with an approach to the original theoretical model in terms of causal effects of socio-political conditions, particularly the increasing impact of mass communication during last decade. 400 students (200 females, 200 males) completed the 40–item version of Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-40, Schwartz et al., 2001) and using Smallest Space Analysis (SSA), value structure relations were determined. Compared with previous sample structure, as well as the original theoretical model, the following cross-cultural similarities and dissimilarities were recognized: 1) in spite of previous study, the achievement value appeared in its expected position, 2) a new alteration in the order of hedonism value, in regard to circular arrangement of values was observed, and 3) national security and social order items were transferred to universalism value as before. The study demonstrated that despite the impact of modernization and convergence process on the students’ values, tendency towards idealizing senses of certain values still remains.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Nomophobia questionnaire among Iranian students. This study was a survey. The sample size consisted of 384 students (186 boys and 198 girls) from the students of Islamic Azad university central Tehran branch in the academic year of 1395-96, were selected using Multi-Stages cluster sampling. The Nomphobia questionnaire (NMP-Q) was translated into Persian and then performed on 50 students. Its Cronbach's alpha coefficient was satisfying for the whole scale and its components, and it was ultimately decided that the final implementation would be unchanged. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that this questionnaire had 4 factors which in total determined 48.1% of the total variance. The results also showed that Cronbach's alpha's reliability was 0.81 for the whole questionnaire, for Not being able to access information 0.81, for Giving up convenience 0.79, for Not being able to communicate 0.82 and Losing connectedness 0.83. This study confirmed that the (NMP-Q) questionnaire could be used as a reliable tool for measuring the mobile phobia in Iranian students. The validity of this questionnaire is proposed at the general population level.Keywords: Standardization; Nomobophobia (NMP-Q); Iranian Students. Manuscript profile

Although the definition of sexual abuse is slightly different for the child and the adult, but it generally refers to behavior that is intended to achieve sexual pleasure without mutual rational consent. Earlier studies indicate that this phenomenon has a devastating effect on the general and mental health of victims. The purpose of this study was to compare the general health status of students with & without history of sexual abuse. For this purpose, in a comparative post-event study that included 256volunteer students in Tehran (fall & winter 1395), the general health status and history of sexual abuse among subjects were studied and compared. The results of U Mann-Whitney tests (Bonferroni corrected), indicated that the general health of the group with a history of sexual abuse was more threatened than the normal group. Also among the different subscales of general health include Somatic symptoms, Depression, Anxiety and insomnia and Social dysfunction, only somatic symptoms was different significantly between two groups and it was more complained in abused group. It should be noted that distribution of depression was not significantly different between two groups, but it was near significant level and the group with a history of sexual abuse was more complained. Despite the simple research method and conditions in all various stages of this study, it seems that the phenomenon of sexual abuse and its complications is also serious in our country (Iran).
