The research design was descriptive and causal-comparative. The sample consisted of 147 students (50 gifted, 47 pseudo-gifted and 50 ordinary) who were selected from the gifted and ordinary high school students of Isfahan province using the convenient sampling method and according to the inclusion criteria. Raven IQ test was used to distinguish between gifted and pseudo-gifted students. Participants answered online Social Skills Rating System (SSRS-SS) and the FRIEDBEN Test Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using MANOVA and LSD post hoc test. The results of multivariate tests showed a general and significant difference between the mean of social skills and test anxiety between the three groups. The between-subject effects test showed that the effects of self-control and cooperation (social skills), and cognitive obstruction (test anxiety) were significant. The results of LSD showed that the mean of self-control of gifted students is significantly higher than other groups. The mean of cooperation of pseudo- gifted students is significantly lower than other groups. The results of this study show the need to separate pseudo-gifted students from gifted students in gifted schools in Iran. Manuscript profile -

The longitudinal design of this research is a panel study in which the necessary measurements are made over time and at specific intervals. The students studying in the three semesters were the statistical population of this research. The sample size was determined by GPower software and based on the type of statistical tests required. After screening more than one hundred thousand pairs of "student grade-teacher evaluation", the final analysis was performed on the data of 1970 students who had studied with a certain professor in three consecutive semesters. The tool for collecting the evaluation data of the professors was the official survey form of the institution in the intended semesters. The analysis showed that with the increase of the student’s final grade, his/her evaluation grade from the professor in the next semester increases significantly. Supplementary analysis showed that the effect of this initial score remains stable until two semesters late. It can be said that with a one-unit increase in students’ final grade, after two semesters, a significant increase between 1 and 4% in their evaluation grade from professors can be seen. The regression coefficients of the relationship between the grade point average of the whole class and the teaching evaluation of professors were also significant in the case of two consecutive semesters. Finally, the analyzes on the grades of the specialized and main courses of the students showed that compared to the past semesters, there is a grade inflation in the groups of humanities, literature, architecture and art. Based on this evidence, it is suggested that the phenomenon of grade inflation be considered from the point of view of its possible connection and interrelation with the way student evaluations are used in the employment and academic decisions of faculty members.

Knowing how to measure and evaluate number sense is important because it plays a crucial role in teaching mathematics at schools, particularly in pre-school and elementary grades. The present study was written to introduce the tests used by researchers and identify their strengths and weaknesses with a critical review methodology. Searching related documents in” Scopus”, “Web of Science” “Scientific Information Database” and “Noormags” from 2012 to 2022, 75 documents were retrieved with the key word ‘number sense’. Twenty-two of these documents were chosen based on their relevance to assessing the number sense of preschool and elementary school students. The exclusion criteria included review articles, articles related to the age group above 12 years of age as well as the age group below 5 years of age, and articles analyzing the content of textbooks. By examining the tests used in the selected studies, 6 tests were identified and analyzed using the determined indicators. The results showed that all the number sense tests dealt with the components of counting components, number recognition, number comparison, and operations on numbers. Based on the findings some suggestions were made for designing a native test to measure number sense. Manuscript profile -

Past studies have reported the extent of critical thinking of students of different university levels low. This research aimed to compare the critical thinking of Ph.D. students in different fields. The research method was causal-comparative. The statistical population was 1210 Ph.D. students in different fields at Tabriz Islamic Azad University. The sample size was estimated 212 people by Cochran's method. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected through form B of the California Critical Thinking Skills Test and were analyzed using t-mean comparison and analysis of variance tests. Based on the findings, the mean score of critical thinking of Ph.D. students in the Tabriz branch is 18.81± 5.36. The critical thinking score was highest in the humanities faculty, 19.81±5.54, and it was lowest in the technical-engineering faculty, 17.04±5.19. The mean score of critical thinking in the Agriculture Faculty was lower than the Humanities faculty and higher than the Technical Faculty, 18.25±5.36. There was no significant difference between students of different fields in critical thinking, inference, and induction. However, there was a significant difference in analysis, evaluation, and induction components. Although younger students had more powerful analyses power and older students had more powerful inference power, there were no significant differences between the age groups of students in critical thinking. There were significant differences between men’s and women’s critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, and deduction skills. Women’s critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, and deduction skills were better than men’s. It is better to organize workshops on critical thinking skills for students (with priority for technical-engineering faculty) and ways to strengthen it for university professors. Manuscript profile
