        The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of WebQuest, as one of the new technological tools in teaching various sciences, including foreign languages, on learning and teaching general English language in the university environment. The study is applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental in terms of method. From the total statistical population of students, which was 133 undergraduate female students of Alzahra University in the general language course, using simple random sampling method, two classes of 25 people, one as a control group and the other as a experimental group, were selected and the amount of learning and retention were examined with one pre-test and two post-tests. The experimental group was trained using a WebQuest, and the control group learned course content using traditional method. After two months, a researcher-made test was given to measure learning, and after a month, the same test was given to students for retention. The data showed a significant difference between the results of both students' learning and retention compared to the traditional group, and it can be concluded that the use of this technology is effective in teaching and learning.

Data were analyzed using Spss25software and Friedman test was used to rank and determine factors affecting the success of game implementation.Theresults indicate that among thefactors influencing the behavioral beliefs of using the game,respectively,thementality of using the game and the tendency touse the game have the greatest impact on the success of the game.There is also no significant difference between teachers'perceptions of factors affecting the success of gamificationimplementation based on demographic variables of gender,education,and service history;Not done.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of intended curriculum for elementary education of Farhangian University in perspective of technology knowledge. The research method is content analysis.The field of study is intended curriculum for elementary education. sample of research is ICT lessons in elementary education that was selected by purposeful method. The research tool has compiled researcher-made content analysis list based on theoretical foundations of TPACK model. The validity of the instrument was formally confirmed by experts, and Scottish coefficient of 91.05 was obtained for reliability of the instrument using Scott method. Qualitative data analysis showed that present curriculum was designed from Perspective of teacher knowledge based on old Schulman method. Because subjects of technology knowledge have been described as part of pedagogical content Competency. To knowledge of technology and its structures as one of the types of competence as theoretical and practical units, To technology knowledge in analog and digital, to integrate technology with content and pedagogy, and to integrate the three by providing content tools, online teaching tools, and evaluation tool have not been attention. Therefore, capacity of curriculum to teach technology knowledge is not well utilized and is incomplete based on TPACK model. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is to provide a model for predicting University of Applied Science & Technology students' scores in centralized exams in the coming semesters of the university. For this purpose, the status of the 19/207 student/ course grades has been studied in 8 courses in 6 provinces and 28 educational centers, that have been held in an associate's and bachelor's degree level and concurrently across the country in the second semester of 1397-98 And by using the feature selection method, the most effective ones were selected. To clarify the relationships between the selected features and the decision tree model with C5.0 algorithm using SPSS Modeler software, with 10 effective indicators, a model for predicting students' scores in the next semester is presented in the courses approved for the centralized exam. This predictive model can be effective in making the learning process more efficient in the academic system. The results of these models include suggestions for modifying the test process, finding students and centers, and out-of-pattern conditions for further monitoring and identifying centers whose students' average GPAs were high but poor on the centralized test.
