        Background and Objective: Educational spaces in Iran, with a student population of about 12 million people and lowgradedness of 75% of schools in terms of energy management, are one of the most energy wasting applications. Adding to this is the developing student population and non-renewable energy reserves which are under distruction. Therefore, it is essential to bind to modern proposals for the use of renewable energy sources as alternatives for designing educational spaces in Iran to step towards further development of this application. In this study, in line with the introduction of green architecture as a renewable source of energy, the green schools model covered with a green roof in connection with atrium has been presented. Moreover, the impact of atrium-related green roof cooling and heating loads on energy management in pedagogical spaces in Sharekors as one of the cold climate regions of Iran has been investigated. Method: In the present study, which is descriptive-analytic, suggested a synthetic model of atrium- related green roof has been suggested as a strategy for energy saving in pedagogical. For studying the heating load in summer and cooling load in winter, three classrooms in Shahrekord as an example of cold climate region in Iran were simulated by Carrier Hap software (Hourly Analysis Program, one of the most modern softwares for heat transfer analysis whose results of are accepted by the U.S Green Building Council or LEED). Findings: The results of this project showed the advantage of using  green roofs for improvement of heating load in the winter and cooling load in summer in the classes with atrium-related green roofs  over the classes with 40-cm and 66-cm  conventional roofs .

        Pedagogical play is one of the practical methods of play in the field of education and its most important goal is to help the growth and development of actors, especially children and adolescents, to convince the aesthetics and artistic taste of the audience. Since the themes of such plays have a direct impact on the education of children and Iran is one of the countries that is very rich in educational literature, inspiration from these texts can be helpful in this regard. Therefore, in the present study, which was conducted by descriptive-analytical method of content, the Haft Peykar, which is a combination of educational and romantic themes, has been examined. At first, educational allegories were discovered, and after interpreting and examining them, how to use allegories in the construction of pedagogical plays for children and adolescents. The findings indicate that although the Haft Peykar is a lyrical work and has scenes and events that may not be useful to children and adolescents, due to the high frequency of educational concepts included in its allegorical stories as well as high narrative aspects, Some stories can be recreated, revised, combined, and others can be rewritten and adapted to create a pedagogical representation.

        Although Attar has never enjoyed and benefitted from this world m but as he had experienced the tyranny attacks of Mongol Ilghar and Ghoz Turk rebels to Iran during which the poverty, oppression, corruption and misery were spreading in Iran, he has not looked at this world in a poetic style , and in fact the pedagogical views and images of the world have been drawn by him in the framework of the poems and because of this, neither these images are pleasant nor suitable, and some of them are horrible and terrible. Sometimes some beautiful images and views are seen but they are deeply filled with fear and grief, and because they are linked to the afterlife, they are not drawn properly. In this thesis the world is going to be seen in the view point of this poet and those pictures present among his speeches are introduced and provided for the careful readers. Among his works the most concerns are regarding Elahi Nameh, Asrar Nameh, and Tazkerat-al-Olia. Manuscript profile

        The pedagogical roles of teacher educators (TEs) in recruiting and educating future language teachers have recently gained attention among language researchers and scholars. Hence, this study set to investigate the pedagogical roles of Iranian non-native teacher educators (TEs) in educating preservice and in-service EFL teachers from the viewpoint of language institute managers. To this end, following a qualitative survey research design, a total of 30 institute managers were selected via the snowball sampling method and engaged in semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The participants’ responses were voice recorded and then thematic analysis was conducted to extract the main themes and subcomponents. The findings of the study showed that institute managers assigned three main instructional roles to TEs: holding preservice/in-service teacher education courses, revising the assessment system, and designing effective language syllabuses. Accordingly, language institute managers believed that effective TEs should not only be responsible for running teacher education courses but also engage in the evaluation process by checking and revising the testing procedures and designing and developing relevant instructional syllabuses in cooperation with educational managers of the institutes. The pedagogical findings of the study are also discussed. Manuscript profile

        Woman is the most beautiful expression of creation and the most effective factor in the development of the mental and physical health of children and society. The objective of this study was describing the role of women in the Islamic society. This study was carried out using a review method. Based on the clear verses of the Holy Qur'an and the infallible traditions, the woman is the foundation of all good things. While emphasizing on the high status of the mothers, their physical, mental and psychological health has drown a lot of attention, due to the health of the community and the health of the family. On the other hand, vitality, authority and family dynamism depends on the role of the mother. Also, according to experts in the field of social sciences, the central role of the mother in building the country is not covered by anyone. In addition to the educational role of the family, women can socially, politically and economically participate in the community, and contribute to the social, political and cultural development of society as a large part of the human resources present in the community. Islam not only does not prevent women from engaging in social, economic and political activities, but values it. From the perspective of the Qur'an, the woman is an effective member of the community and should play a role in social issues with men. Islam has the most comprehensive and complete attitude toward the personality of the woman. Manuscript profile

          One of the major issues for many teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) is finding a way of helping foreign language learners to produce acute and fluent utterances. According to the research finding the oral drill has a significant effect on producing accurate and fluent speech in second language instruction. Experts believe that English learners’ oral utterances enable them to gain more profound recognition of English sentence structure, and it will facilitate subsequent acquisitions. This study set out to investigate the effect of educational production- oriented program on increasing grammatical accuracy and task- based fluency in speech. The statistical population of the study was fifty Iranian sophomore students at Islamic Azad University of Tabriz. They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Initial homogeneity of the groups was verified using a general proficiency test and an oral pre-test. Both groups received instruction for six sessions and were taught how to use different fluency and accuracy strategies to produce more fluent and accurate speech, the experimental group, however, was required to produce oral utterances based on a picture strip at the end of each session. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control group. The experimental group produced more accurate and fluent speech utterances than the control group on the post-test. The findings have significant pedagogical implications for (EFL) learners in highly limited contexts.   Manuscript profile

        This study was done to investigate influential factors in developing vocational and skill virtual education approach from the point of views of teachers and principals of vocational and technical high schools of Mazandaran. In this study based on constructional learning theory and Charies Wedemeyer theory on developing virtual vocational and skill education, factors affecting vocational and skill virtual education development in technological, cultural-social, pedagogical, economic and strategic aspects were identified and ranked by the use of Delphi method. The statistical population of the study was all teachers and principals in vocational and technical high schools in academic year of 2009-2010. A group of 35 teachers and 27 principals as members of panel were selected through step-wise clustering with respect to the research method. Two kinds of questionnaire for the students and the principals were prepared to explore developmental factors based on likert scale. The questionnaires were distributed in 3 stages. The reliability coefficient or Cronbach Alpha in all approaches was higher than 0.86. In the first and second stages of questionnaire distribution, the mean and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance of developmental factors were calculated. Then propositions which were larger than 4 and kendall’s coefficient larger than 0.5 were considered in the third stage. The data collected from the questionnaires in the third stage were used as responses to research questions. Friedman test and U Mann-Whitney test were used to analyze data. The main results are listed below: From teacher's point of view, social-cultural, technological, economic, pedagogic and strategic approaches were given priorities respectively. From the principal's point of view, technological, social-cultural, economic, strategic and pedagogic approaches were given priorities respectively. Finally, there was no meaningful difference in the mean of technological, social- cultural, pedagogical, economic and strategic approaches between the teachers and managers viewpoints.

        یکی از مهم­ترین اهداف بسیاری ازبرنامه­های تربیت معلم، کمک به معلمان برای ایجاد نگرش بازاندیشانه است. بدین علت است که تحقیقات و مطالعات بسیاری برای واکاوی تاثیر بازاندیشی بر موفقیت معلمان و همچنین برای ارائۀ روش ها و تکنیک هایی برای ارتقاء این مهارت انجام شده است. این تحقیق سعی دارد مدلی سه بعدی  برای ارتقاء سطح بازاندیشی معلمان ارائه دهد که متشکل از سه عنصر مهم در زمینۀ تدریس است. این سه عامل در هم تنیده و تفکیک ناپذیر عبارتند از عوامل آموزشی، روانشناختی و اجتماعی-فرهنگی. عوامل مذکوردر نتیجۀ مصاحبۀ انجام شده با 21 متخصص، شامل 8 مدرس دوره های تربیت معلم و 13 معلم با تجربه، استخراج شده اند. این مدل سه بعدی بازاندیشی روی گروه 35 نفره ای از دانشجو-معلمان دانشگاه فرهنگیان آزموده شد. در این آزمایش، پس از تقسیم اتفاقی جامعۀ آماری به دو گروه آزمایشی و کنترل ، دورۀ آزمایش به طول چهار ترم آغاز گردید و در انتها گزارش های کلاسی، خود ارزیابی ها و بیانیه های معلمان در حین بازنگری و ارزیابی کلاس های خود به دو شکل کیفی و کمّی مورد تحلیل و بررسی قرار گرفت. نتایج این بررسی ها نشان می دهد که به کارگیری این مدل در دوره های تربیت معلم می تواند میزان توانایی معلمان برای بازنگری را بالا برده و به آنها نگرشی دهد که بتوانند برای مشکلات احتمالی خود در شروع کار خود به عنوان معلم راه حل بیابند. این مدل نه تنها برای دانشجو-معلمان سودمند است، بلکه می­تواند به اساتید دوره­های تربیت معلم در طراحی فعالیت­ و واحدکار در طول دوره و ارزیابی دانشجومعلمان در پایان دوره کمک کند Manuscript profile

        The current study aimed to identify underlying and intervening factors influencing the promotion of pedagogical wisdom in Iran's higher education system. The study analyzed data and evaluated underlying and intervening factors in promoting pedagogical wisdom in the higher education system of Iran by using MAXQDA software and through employing a qualitative approach and relying on the Strauss and Corbin (2007) data theory strategy and using the open, axial, and selective coding style. The data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 16 experts and managers with relevant experience in the higher education system. This study employed theoretical and snowball purposive sampling until theoretical saturation was achieved. According to principles of grounded theory, the research identified local (structure of the higher education system, academic culture, adaptive university, intelligent academic leadership, and pedagogical knowledge) and intervening (personality traits, conflicting goals, cognitive complexity in university, academic inertia, knowledge sharing behavior in higher education and required competencies) factors in promoting pedagogical wisdom in Iran's higher education system.
