  The expansion of the use of virtual technologies in education has made education available to learners at any time and any place The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of designing a learning environment based on a virtual laboratory on the progress motivation of fifth grade elementary school students in science. The current research is practical and semi-experimental. For this purpose, a pre-test-post-test plan with a control group was used. The socio-statistics included all fifth grade female students of Karaj primary school. 40 people from the mentioned society were selected through purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to two control and experimental groups. The instrument used included the achievement motivation questionnaire with confirmed validity and reliability. At first, both groups completed the progress motivation questionnaire as a pre-test. Then, for the experiment group, the activities and experiments of the science book were designed in virtual form. At the end, the progress motivation questionnaire was given to the students of both groups as a post-test. The collected data were analyzed using the statistical test of univariate covariance with the help of spss version 18 software. The result of the research showed that there is a difference between the progress motivation of the two control and experimental groups in the post-test, and this difference is significant (a=0.05: p-value=0.001); This means that the design of the learning environment based on the virtual laboratory designed on the basis of Bayabi's design model has improved the motivation of students to progress in the science course. Therefore, it is recommended to the teachers and training providers to design and use a virtual laboratory based on the Bayabi design model to improve the motivation of students to progress in science lessons.

  This study aimed at examining the effect of using synectics methodology on fourth grade primary school students` creative thinking in experimental sciences course in Salmas during the academic year 1391-1392. The statistical population of this study included all fourth-grade primary students in the academic year 1390-1392, among whom 50 female students were selected through cluster sampling as the participants of this study. This research was a quosi-experimental study with pre-test – post-test control group design in which the data was gathered using Torrance creativity test. In the experimental group, synectics methodology was used to teach experimental sciences for three months whereas in the control group, traditional methodology was used to teach the same course. The data was gathered and the analysis of covariance was conducted. The results confirmed the main hypotheses of the study. It was revealed that synectics methodology has a positive effect on the creativity, fluency, expansion, and flexibility of the students` answers and ideas. Manuscript profile
