        The purpose of this study was identifying pathologies in teaching methods in Isfahan high school. Hence, descriptive- survey method was used.  The statistical population of this research included teachers and students of Isfahan high schools, who had been educating in academic year 85-86 whose number were as 8097 teachers and 140250 students. By means of cluster sampling and stratified random sampling as well as evaluating the falling measure of the test; sample size was estimated as two groups of 110 and 240. Then, by eliminating problematic questionnaires, 95 teachers and 206 students were selected as the statistical sample.  The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire which included 20 closed questions in Likert range and an open question. Reliability coefficients of the teachers' and students' questionnaires were measured as       0/99 and 0/98, using Alpha Corn Bach, respectively. Also to measure the questionnaires' validity, content-dependent method was used. In order to analyze data, descriptive statistics and inferential ones were utilized.  The findings showed that measure of pathology teaching methods from the view points of the teachers and the students was more than the average level. From the teachers' view points, the most destructive factors were as "lack of teachers' care to teaching practical skills" and "teachers' professional and scientific low level". Most of damages from the prospective of the students, also, were related to "the teachers' high expectation of students", "disregarding the spontaneous responses of students", and "lack of attention to the interests of the students". Further results also showed that there were significant difference between the teachers' and the students' attitude toward existing issues. Based on their gender and educational background, the teachers expressed different idea, too, but no significant difference was observed based on the teachers' degree. Also, there was a significant difference between students' opinion based on their majors and the area of their education, but no significant differences was found based on their gender and grade.

        Introduction: Today, there are many teaching methods. The question of which method is used for which lesson and at what time depends on the teacher's choice and his or her ability to implement it. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of the teaching method of jurisprudential inquiry and lectures on the learning of industrial-organizational psychology students.Materials and Methods: In the current study, a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design, including two non-randomized groups, was used. The teaching method (jurisprudential inquiry and speeches) was studied as the independent variable, whilst the students' learning in the industrial-organizational psychology course was studied as the dependent variable. The population included all industrial psychology students, 64 of whom were selected using the convenience sampling method.Results: The results showed a significant difference between the performance of research groups (P> 0.001). Therefore, according to the mean scores of learning by the teaching method of jurisprudential inquiry, it can be claimed that the method of jurisprudential teaching was more effective in improving the learning of students in the course of industrial psychology than the lectures. Also, the analysis of Eta Squared shows that 26.5% of the variance of the dependent variable (learning industrial psychology course) is explained by the independent variable (teaching method).

        Throughout history, the accumulation of information by student, has been seen as a basic principle in education. As a result, what distinguishes students is the degree of their ability to retain information in their minds, lending to put an emphasis on memory. In 1800s, this theory was doubted. However, it still overshadows education environments. New methodology has paved the way for changing the nature of education. Educating children through problem solving and experiments has led to a change in learners’ behavior. The present research studies different types of teaching (lecturing, question and answering, problem solving, and group discussion), and their effect on learners metacognitive. The objectives of the research are to investigate the effect of each method on learners metacognitive , and to provide authorities some suggestions and solutions to improve education. Research questions are: 1.Does lecturing method have an effect on students metucognitive? 2.Does problem-solving method have an effect on students metacognilive? 3.Does question–answer method have an effect on learners metucognitive? 4.Does group-discussion method have an effect on learners metucognitive? 5.Is there any difference in the effects of these methods? Statistical population were all the teachers, men and women, who taught at high schools for females in Behshahr. Data collection instrument was a researcher – mnde questionnaire with a reliability of 0.82 obtained using Cronbachs coefficient. The statistical method used was descriptive and inferential (one variable t-test, ANOVA). The results showed that teaching through lecturing has no effect on students metacognition . Teaching through problem–solving has an effect on students metacognition . group discussion and question answer methods have an effect on students metacognition . Finally, the effectiveness of each method on metacognition is different.  Manuscript profile

        One of the ways to ensure food safety is to educate the public. Of the organizations providing food safety education in the United States (U.S.), the Cooperative Extension System (CES) is one of the most reliable. The effectiveness CES programs depends not only on what is being taught but also on how it is taught. Both a needs-based curriculum and how that curriculum is delivered are equally important. This descriptive cross-sectional study using a disproportional stratified random sample identified the teaching methods and tools being used by food safety extension educators of the CES of North Central Region (NCR). A Likert-type scale administered to extension educators revealed that they were adopting a balanced use of teaching methods and tools, and using learner-centered teaching methods in their programs. However, distance education, case studies and podcasts, which are commonly used in education programs, were not being used extensively. We recommend that food safety extension educators of NCR should increase the use of these two teaching methods and tool while continuing to use the current ones. This study has implications for improving food safety education delivery to clients in the NCR and for designing inservice education for food safety extension educators. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between modern teaching methods and self-regulated learning strategies with the mediating role of students’ perceptions of classroom activities. The research was applied in terms of purpose and the method was descriptive, correlational. The statistical population of this study included 4816 students of Secondary school of Neka. The sample included 381 participants recruited by using Krejcie and Morgan’s Table via stratified random sampling concerning gender. The data were gathered by using three Questionnaires: Valinejad Sangdehee et al.’s (2016) modern teaching methods, Bouffard et al.’s (1995) self-regulated learning strategies, and Gantry et al.’s (2002) perceptions of classroom activities Questionnaires. The reliability of the instruments was calculated to be 0.70, 0.77 and 0.92 respectively using Cronbach’s alpha. To analyze the collected data structural equation modeling was employed using the PLS software. The results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between modern teaching methods and measuring the perceptions of classroom activities with self-regulated learning strategies. 83.7% of self-regulated learning strategies and 73.3% of perceptions of classroom activities were explained by modern teaching methods. The perceptions of classroom activities had a mediating effect on the relationship between modern teaching methods and self-regulated learning strategies. The indices indicated that the proposed model is an appropriate fit. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of creative teaching approaches in the evaluation of students' learning in qualitative schools, which is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of descriptive method. The statistical population of the research includes teachers and students of qualitative primary schools in Alborz province and Tehran province. In order to collect data in the teachers' creative teaching methods section, a researcher-made questionnaire based on the standard creative teaching questionnaire was used, which includes 44 questions in 4 dimensions: giving time and supporting ideas, vitality, dynamism-happiness and humor, challenge, conflict and Risk-taking and finally the dimension of discussion is freedom-trust and confidence and it examines the components of creative teaching in quality schools. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by professors and experts, and the face validity of the Bartlett-Keyser and Mir-Oklin coefficient was calculated as 0.86. Reliability is also reported using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.806 for the entire questionnaire. Also, in order to collect learning evaluation data, qualitative descriptive report cards of students of quality schools (approved performance description report of the country's education) were used in the second semester of the academic year 1402-1401. The data were calculated using SPSS24 software and Pearson's correlation coefficient tests (after checking the normality of the data and the equality of variances) as well as linear regression. The results showed that creative teaching approaches have a positive relationship with students' learning evaluation, and it has a role of 23%, 64%, 14% and 15% in its four dimensions, respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that in addition to the development of quality schools, the goals and methods of teaching and management in these schools should be used to improve schools in the country in order to improve learning and improve the performance of students.

        The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the managerial styles and the teaching methods of the teachers with the academic performance of the seventh- grade students in non-governmental high schools for boys in District 1 of Tehran Education. The present study is an applied-descriptive research that has been conducted by survey method. The statistical population of this study includes1045 seventh-grade students in non-profit high schools, junior high school, district 1 of Tehran Education, of which 291 people were selected as a statistical sample by cluster sampling method.  The research instruments are three standard questionnaires of Likert management styles, Gerasha and Richman teaching methods and Pham and Taylor academic performance. As the questionnaires are standard and their reliability has been confirmed in several researches, the questionnaires’ validity is also estimated by Alpha Korenbakh; the validity of management styles (0.920), teaching methods (0.791), and academic performance (0.963). For analyzing information, Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression tests are used by SPSS software. The results showed that there is a significant and positive relationship between classroom management styles and students’ academic performance, and there is also a positive and significant relationship between classroom teaching methods and students' academic performance. Examining the simultaneous impact of the two variables, academic performance and teaching methods on students’ performance, showd that 15.2% of the total changes in academic performance is explained by these two independent variables. The highly variable management styles of teaching methods have an effect on academic performance of the students of the statistical population. Manuscript profile
