Abstract

One of the most important challenges facing education is to develop students' health and create a sense of attachment to the educational environment in them, which will lead to an increase in the quality of education and training. Architecture as a container of human behavior has a great impact on this matter. The organs of the building and the relationships that govern them are effective in the process of understanding, recognizing and then the way people respond to the environment. According to studies of mental health and environmental psychology, students quickly feel emotionally uncomfortable when dealing with certain educational spaces and feel homesick. People enter the attachment process faster with places in harmony with subconscious schemas. In this article, emphasizing the need for attachment to place in school design, this question is raised, recognizing cultural schemas in the collective subconscious of students and orienting them to design school architecture can increase students' mental health and promote a sense of attachment to educational places? The research method in this research is qualitative and analytical-descriptive. At first, the materials were collected in the form of library study, collect documents in the field of psychology and unconscious cognition and the stages of perception and cognition by it in the human mind, and then analyzed analytically. As a result, examining how students perceive space is effective in creating qualities such as "familiarity" and "identity." In this article, by looking at the category of the unconscious in the field of mental health and architecture and analyzing the collective unconscious schemas, it emphasizes the mechanism of its effect on how students recognize and interpret semantics. Collective help can help the cognition stage lead to the promotion of attachment to the place properly.

Abstract

Transforming the educational environment into a learning environment through combining education with new technologies and changing the role of educational components has been considered by educational thinkers. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to identify the poles of conflict in direct education and to provide strategies for empowering the disadvantaged poles. To achieve this goal, the six staged deconstruction method was used. The findings showed that there are changes in different dimensions of the direct education approach, including: 1- Changing the role of the teacher from a commanding mode and transferring knowledge to a facilitating mode of learning 2- Changing the role of the student from being passive and neglected in the learning cycle, to the active and responsible element in education 3- Changing the teacher-centered teaching method to a student-centered method such as project-based, exploratory, laboratory. 4. Changing the educational content from the monologue mode of the fixed book to the dialog mode and situations based on using the experiences of students, electronic content produced by both sides of the learning flow (teacher and student), social networks and internet sites 5- Changing the educational and physical environment of the classroom from its traditional state to a happy environment with maximum participation of learners in learning process, 5- changing the evaluation from the paper-pencil mode to a combination of different methods such as  using electronic and self-assessment methods. These changes indicate a change in the perspective in this regard that the necessary trend to change the education and the emergence of the flipped classroom approach has been provided. Using the features of the flipped classroom, we achieve a new concept of learning to meet the needs of the learners of the digital age.

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to synthesize the findings of different studies and gain a general understanding of the effectiveness of psychological interventions on academic procrastination. The study population consisted of available full-text Articles, dissertations, and research projects published from 2011 to 2021 in quarterly publications and scientific research journals. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and sensitivity analysis, 136 effect sizes from 83 initial studies were analyzed using CMA2 software. The results revealed a statistically significant combined effect size for both fixed and random effect models, and the combined effect size for the random-effects model based on Cohen's criterion was large (ES = 1.47). In reducing academic procrastination, the findings indicated a high effect of self-regulation intervention compared to other interventions. Also, examining the variables of gender and educational level of the learners as moderating variables in the research showed that the gender of the subjects had no effect on the effectiveness of the psychological interventions, and the efficacy of interventions had a significant difference in the educational levels. This research has implications for therapists and counselors in line with the effectiveness of psychological interventions, especially the training of self-regulation components, to improve students' academic procrastination by providing programs.

Abstract

Virtual education was quickly used in the country's universities during the Corona era, and there are doubts about its quality. In this study, the evaluation model of virtual education in higher education during the corona epidemic has been presented. The current study is an applied-developmental study in terms of its purpose, and it is a cross-sectional survey research in terms of the method and time frame of data collection. Semi-structured interview and ISM questionnaire were used to collect data. The community of participants of this research includes faculty members and administrators of Tehran University of Management. Sampling continued with a purposeful method until theoretical saturation was reached, and 17 professors and managers participated in it. In order to analyze the data obtained from the interview, the method of qualitative analysis of the theme was used and the dimensions and evaluation components of virtual education in higher education were identified. In the following, the structural-interpretive method was used to determine the relationships and design the final model. Based on the results of qualitative analysis, 13 main themes and 71 sub-themes were identified. The findings show that the planning and support of virtual education affect the quality of information, system and hardware platforms of virtual education. These factors affect teacher-learner interaction, cooperative education and educational interaction and further empower professors and students. In the shadow of empowerment, the efficiency and effectiveness of virtual education can be achieved, and this efficiency and effectiveness will eventually lead to the development of virtual education.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the current pattern of using information and communication technology (ICT) in exceptional schools. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and a data-based method. The statistical population includes all agents involved in the use of Fava in exceptional schools, who were selected through purposeful criterion-based sampling. The data is obtained through semi-structured interviews with fifteen teachers of special schools, five school principals and three middle managers of Mashhad Special Education Department. In order to analyze the data, open, axial and selective coding method was used. Lincoln and Cuban criteria were used to ensure validity and reliability. The results of the research show twenty-six key concepts that, in the form of a paradigm model, include lack of planning and a non-specialist view of the use of FAVA in exceptional schools as a central category and causal conditions (skill weakness, attitude weakness, financial and infrastructural challenges) ), contextual factors (management factors of exceptional schools and environmental-contextual factors), facilitating intervention conditions (training and professional development of teachers, needs assessment, support), restrictive intervention conditions ( Organizational and environmental challenges, political interference and individual and executive obstacles), strategies (renewing the approach to curriculum planning, designing a strategic plan in the field of FAVA application, guidance and quality orientation) and consequences (decrease in efficiency and effectiveness) of the organization. .

Abstract

Students, as one of the main axes of the education system, play the most important role in the learning process. It is obvious that students' academic performance depends on the degree of their acquired or learned abilities in school subjects, and this variable itself is also influenced by factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the predictive role of implicit intelligence and multiple intelligences in student`s academic performance with the mediating role of academic engagement. The research method was a descriptive and correlation study. Statistical population was including the entire students in the high school in Ashkzar city in 2020-2021 that 245 individuals were selected through voluntary sampling method. To collect data from questionnaires implicit intelligence, multiple intelligence and academic engagement scales was used. The results showed that both components of implicit intelligence (incremental beliefs and entity beliefs) and the components of logical – mathematical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and musical intelligence from the multiple intelligence variable, are able to indirectly predict academic performance. In other words, the results showed that incremental beliefs (0.06), entity beliefs (0.03), logical-mathematical intelligence (0.12) and interpersonal intelligence (0.04) predict academic performance positively, by mediating academic engagement and musical intelligence (-0.04) predict academic performance negatively, by mediating academic engagement in high school students. So, based on these results, increasing beliefs of intelligence can increase academic performance and on the other hand, some types of intelligence can play a positive and negative role on academic performance.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the moderating role of parent-child interaction in relationship of parenting practices with behavioral problems of elementary students. The method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population was all students of secondary elementary and their parents in Bojnourd. Three hundred and seventy two students of secondary elementary were selected by cluster sampling. The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (Frick, 1991), Parent-Child Interaction (Lange et al, 2002) and rating behavior problems Scale (Connors, 1990) were completed by participants. Data were analyzed by correlation and Hayes regression analysis. The results showed that the dimensions of corporal punishment and lack of parental supervision were positively correlated and the dimensions of parenting and participation were negatively correlated with behavioral problems. Parent-child interaction was also negatively associated with behavioral problems. The results of Hayes regression analysis showed that parent-child interaction, child-mother interaction and child-father interaction moderate the relationships of parenting dimensions of poor supervision, corporal punishment, parent-child participation and positive parenting with behavioral problems. The results show that when parent-child interaction is strong, ineffective methods of poor supervision and corporal punishment do not increase behavioral problems. Also, despite positive parenting, behavioral problems will not be reduced if there is no strong interaction with the children. Therefore, the impact of parenting on behavioral problems is influenced by the parent-child interaction.

Abstract

 The main purpose of this study is "critical discourse analysis" of "female gender identity" in the official documents of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its consequences in the formal female gender education. Materials and Methods: Among the quantitative and qualitative methods in social research, in the present study, the qualitative method and the approach of "critical discourse analysis" have been used. In fact, the present study attempts to use "critical discourse analysis" of official education documents to examine whether there are any indications of the dominance of a particular discourse regarding women's gender identity in these documents: In order to achieve the objectives of the research, five official documents of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran were selected as a sample. Denial of conscious agency (despite its constructive role in discourses); Ambiguity; Semantic obstruction, formation of potentially conflicting semantic fragments, potential and sometimes actual hegemonic conflicts and interferences with informal discourse order, ambiguous patterns born of erroneous equivalence logic and then differences, etc. were evident in the construction of female gender identity. Conclusion: Identity crisis as an undeniable consequence of the discourse fluctuation of documents - failure to clarify the proposition of "gender identity" - in line with the prescriptive policies of its compilers. In other words, the domination of marginal discourse " "Otherness" is done; An event that, with the consequence of the possibility and instability of discourses in the conditions of discourse faltering, will lead to unrest and deconstruction, and ultimately the domination of rival discourse.
