The results showed that there was a positive relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance. However, there was a negative relationship between of academic burnout dimensions and academic performance. The results of multiple regression showed that academic burnout had a better capability in predicting the academic performance in comparison with self-regulated learning and path analysis showed that the academic burnout variable was the only variable, which was able to have a direct influence on the academic performance of students. On the other hand, the results of Hotlling t2 showed that there was a significant difference among the combination of three dependent variables in the two groups of female and male students. For an exact study, independent t-tests were used for all of the variables and the results showed that there was a significant difference between female and male students, just in term of academic performance.

The present study is an attempt to analyze the content of Prospect textbooks taught at the Iranian junior high schools according to the generative learning framework. Based on the four main processes of generative theory (motivation, learning, meaning making, generation), a checklist was developed. Four experts in TEFL and 21 English teachers were asked to analyze 9 selected lessons from the books. The content validity of the checklist was confirmed by the 4 experts and the intra- and inter-rater reliability indices showed a significant reliability level. Then, interval evaluation was used for the analysis of the obtained means. The results showed that the textbooks were evaluated as successful according to the generation criterion, moderate regarding meaning making criterion and weak in terms of learning and motivation criteria. Furthermore, the books were evaluated as weak regarding their generalizability power to non-learning contexts (which is an important aspect of communicative approaches) as well as motivation, developing thinking skills and raising awareness and attention criteria. Some suggestions are made for the improvement of generalizability of learning to out-of-class contexts, thinking skills and motivation in texts, exercises and tasks. Manuscript profile

This research had a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) and in terms of purpose was applied study. The participants in the qualitative phase were 15 education experts and professors, selected using purposive sampling. The research tool was a semi-structured interview, and data were analyzed through content coding and analysis. The researchers, participants, and education experts reviewed the data to verify its validity, and for reliability, the agreement coefficient between the coders and the reliability of the retest was used (78% & 82%). The study population in the quantitative phase consisted of 1373 teachers and principals from technical and vocational high schools in Qom province. The sample included 273 participants who were selected using Sample Power software based on relative stratified sampling. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire based on the findings of the qualitative phase whose face and content validity was assessed by two indicators CVI and CVR and its reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. Descriptive and inferential statistics (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) were used to analyze the data via SPSS24 and Smart-PLS20. The findings showed that the competency-based education contains the following four components: knowledge, applied-scientific skills, communicative skills, and attitude. Influential factors included educational; cultural factors; measures taken by the Ministry of Education and economic factors. The fitness of the model revealed that all the factors identified managed to predict 0.71 of the competency-based education variable. The model also showed acceptable goodness of fit (GOF=0.52).
