Purpose: The aim of this study was to model the structural relationships of executive actions with academic conflict mediated by intolerance of uncertainty in junior high school students in Sari.Methodology: This was a correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study was all female high school students in the ninth grade of Sari city in 1398.280 students as a sample size so that first from all 12 schools, including 8 public schools were selected randomly and in the stage Second, 10 classes (30 people) were randomly selected from all classes according to the entry criteria and observing ethical considerations. Collection tools included the Clever Academic Involvement Questionnaire (2012), the Rescue Executive Action Questionnaire (2013), and the Freeston et al. Uncertainty Intolerance Questionnaire (1994). Data were analyzed using SPSS-18 and Amos-23 software and descriptive and inferential statistical methods at a significance level of 0.99.Findings: The results showed that executive actions were associated with academic engagement mediated by ambiguity intolerance (AGFI = 0.987, RSMEA = 0.042). On the other hand, a significant direct relationship was observed between intolerance of uncertainty and executive actions (r = -0.34, p <0.01) and academic conflict (r = -0.31, p <0.01). There was also a significant direct correlation between cognitive actions and academic engagement (r = 0.34, p <0.01). In general, the fitted model showed that the effects of direct and indirect paths of 83% of the educational engagement variable can be explained by intolerance of uncertainty and executive actions.Based on the research findings, cognitive actions and intolerance of uncertainty were associated with academic involvement of students in junior high school.Conclusion: According to the research findings, cognitive actions and intolerance of uncertainty were associated with academic involvement of students in junior high school. Due to the fact that cognitive actions are multidimensional and acquired variables, the pleasure of learning and effort in academic performance can be increased by improving cognitive and metacognitive strategies. Therefore, educational professionals can influence students' academic engagement and improve their academic performance by teaching cognitive actions and increasing the level of uncertainty tolerance in the form of educational programs.

Purpose: Social, economic and political development in the modern era is not possible without the emphasis of policies and planning on knowledge and awareness, and modern and efficient social sciences have a special place in this. Social science will also be efficient and useful when it has the ability to understand problems and provide effective solutions for the target society. Due to the relativity of social sciences and their dependence on the contexts, cultures, and social contexts of the target society, this will not be achieved without indigenization of social sciences. Despite five decades of efforts and propaganda to localize social sciences in Iran, unfortunately, we do not see the formation or institutionalization of the process of local science production, and this shows the lack of understanding and recognition of the roots of the problem of non-production of science in the country. . Therefore, it is necessary first of all to try to understand these obstacles and then solve them.Methodology: In this research, an attempt has been made to design a theory with related and coherent elements based on causal explanation, which, if successful, can turn part of the unknowns into information.Findings: In this research, the role of variables such as talent and psychology, education and learning system, work and employment system and finally politics and political system are examined and evaluated. In response to the failure to produce indigenous science, various theories and arguments have been proposed; Some consider the causes subjective and believe that the problem is caused by the mental elites or the mentalities of the scientific community; But some others look for the roots in the characteristics of the scientific community or the entire environment of the scientific community. Others refer to one of the elements and sub-systems of the whole system (economy, politics, society, or sociability) based on the Parsonsian model.Conclusion: Apparently, none of the mentioned approaches regarding Iran can be considered convincing; Therefore, the problem of this research is that; What model can be used to analyze the effective factors in the lack of indigenous science production in Iran? Is it not possible to reach a meaningful integrated model with individual and social elements as well as mental and structural elements?
