The study aimed at investigating the relationship between self-directed learning and self-efficacy of PhD students with a focus on the mediating role of information literacy in Islamic Azad University of Sari. This applied research adopted a descriptive-correlational approach as its methodology. The statistical population of this study consisted of 1,000 students of all PhD students. The Sample size was determined by Krejcie and Morgan tables and 278 people were considered as the study sample being chosen through random sampling. The data collection tools were the Self-efficacy Scale by Sherer and Maddux (1982) and Fisher's Self-directed Learning Questionnaire (2001) and a Researcher- made Questionnaire on Information Literacy. The validities of the given tools were evaluated and confirmed by experts from the Department of Educational Sciences. The reliabilities of the questionnaires were estimated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient in a group of 30 subjects, which were  0.79, 0.83 and 0.89 for the self-efficacy questionnaire, self-directed learning questionnaire, and information literacy questionnaire, respectively. For the statistical analysis, the Lisrel 8.5 and Spss version 18 were used. Hypotheses were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results showed a significant positive correlation between self-directed learning and students’ information literacy. There existed a significant positive relationship between information literacy and student self-efficacy; Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between self-directed learning and students’ self-efficacy. Also, the results of the test showed that information literacy had a mediating role in the relationship between self-directed learning and students’ self-efficacy. Manuscript profile

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectivenessof content-based software on learning and reattention . The aim of this study is practical and the research method is quasi-experimental and the sampling method used in this study is simple random. The statistical population of this study is sixth grade students of primary school in Baladeh in educational year of 1394-1395 which two classes were selected as control group (25 students) and experimental group (25 students). A similar pre-test administered in both groups and after ensuring the equality of two groups, the experimental group were taught using content-based software and control group were taught using traditional teaching methods (without content-based software). At the end of teaching period, both groups were administered two learning and recalling post-tests. The teacher-made questionnaires were used for data collection and the validity of the test confirmed by experts and test reliability achieved by Cronbach alpha test of 0.89. In order to examine the research hypotheses t-test and ANOVA were used. The findings showed that the use of content-based software has a significant effect on learning than the traditional teaching methods. In other words, there is a meaningful difference between teaching through content-based software and traditional teaching method. Therefore, software-based teaching approach can have positive effects on students’ learning and recalling teaching materials. Manuscript profile

Background and Purpose: The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of educational computer games on learning of mathematics’ basic concepts include Classification, Sorting, Conservation, Detecting Similarities and Differences and Geometry in preschoolers.Method: The statistical society of the research included preschoolers of four pre-schools in Kerman city. In this research non-probability (available) sampling has been used. The research’s selected sample consists of 44 children who have been divided into treatment and control group equally according to the number and gender. After doing the pre-test via “Basic Mathematic Skills Test for Children” on both groups, the treatment group received training via special designed educational computer games for 2 months, 2 sessions per week. Finally, the post-test was done and the results were recorded per each component and children. Then the data was analyzed by using differential t-test.Results: The results of analysis show that four out five primary hypotheses related to the effects of computer games on learning of categorization, sorting, conservation and detecting similarities and differences were confirmed. But, the hypothesis related to learning of geometry was not confirmed.Conclusion: The results show that using educational computer games has positive effects on learning of mathematics basic concepts in preschoolers.
