One of the methods of creating this citizen-centered view and the formation of democracy is to create a bridge between citizens and the government to involve citizens in the policy-making process. Therefore, the principle of citizens' participation in the policy-making process is a desirable phenomenon, but it is not clear how to create the conditions for such a situation. Therefore, in this research, the factors affecting citizens' participation in the public policy-making process in the Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare were identified. After examining the theoretical foundations and previous studies in the field of citizen participation in the public policy making process, based on the studies, 16 effective factors were identified. Then, these components were provided to the experts in the form of a three-stage Delphi questionnaire. According to the analysis of three rounds of Delphi, 1 component was integrated in other components and 5 components were also removed and finally 15 components were approved by the experts. In the following, using the expert opinions of 80 experts and specialists in the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare, the factors were categorized and analyzed statistically, and the analysis of the results using the exploratory factor analysis technique showed that 15 components can be He categorized under 5 factors. The main factors identified included communication and communication channels, support for citizens' representatives and elected representatives, setting laws and regulations, encouraging and motivating citizens, and reforms in the government structure.

Considering the change in teaching methods from teacher-centered to student-centered, and the existence of a gap in student-centered teaching models, this research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of the reverse learning model and cooperative learning on the academic engagement of secondary school students. The present research method was semi-experimental in terms of practical nature and in terms of the intervention method. The research population was 60 secondary school students of Bukan city, who were selected in two intervention groups and one control group. The research tools included reverse learning package (Mahmodi et al., 2023), GI cooperative learning package (Kazemi et al., 2022) and Rio academic engagement questionnaire (2013) were used, and multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the effectiveness. Based on the results of the educational intervention, the pattern of reverse learning and collaborative learning has a positive and significant effect on students' academic engagement (sig<0.05). Also, the findings showed that there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of the reverse learning educational program and cooperative learning-based education on students' academic engagement only in the cognitive engagement component (sig<0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the originality of the teaching method based on reverse learning can be one of the reasons for the effectiveness of reverse teaching compared to cooperative education, especially in the component of cognitive engagement.

Objective: The present study sought to design a model to eliminate the digital divide in education with emphasis on the Quid 19 epidemic crisis. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to identify model variables and also to determine the causal relationships between model variables.Methodology: This research has been done in two parts: qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative part, variables, components and indicators of the research were extracted using the method of data foundation and coding through interviews with experts.Finding: In a small part, a comprehensive interpretive-structural modeling method has been used to create a model and determine the causal relationships between the research variables. The statistical population of the study includes 20 education experts who were selected by purposive non-probability sampling using snowball and theoretical techniques. The criterion of sample size in the qualitative part is theoretical saturation.Conclusion: The results of the qualitative section showed that the digital divide elimination model has the variables "e-government inclusion barriers" (interfering factors), "digital development platform" (contextual factors), "digital capacities" (causal factors) , "Digital content" (focal category), "digital divide elimination" (strategies) and "consequences". Based on the results of the quantitative section, the two variables "digital development platforms" and "barriers to e-government inclusion" have the greatest impact and importance in the model and are among the independent and strong stimulus variables that more managers' attention and effective monitoring of these stimuli can Help achieve the goals of the organization. It is expected that the model of eliminating the digital divide in education will lead to the consequences of reducing digital inequalities, reducing social inequalities, developing information and communication technology and increasing the participation of families in the educational process

Objective: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Short Character Strength Measure (SCSM) among Iranian teachers. Methods: In this correlation study, 200 teachers (100 male, 100 female) completed the Short Character Strength Measure and the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI). The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to compute the SCSM's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Also, in order to examine the construct validity of the character strength measure, we computed correlation between different dimensions of SCSM with positive and negative interpersonal teacher behaviors. Results: The results of confirmatory factor analysis, based AMOS software, indicated that multidimensional structure of the SCSM consisted wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance and transcendence had acceptable fit to data in the teacher’s sample. Correlation analyses between different dimensions of SCSM with positive and negative interpersonal teacher behaviors provided initial evidence for the SCSM construct validity. Internal consistencies for the scales measuring wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance and transcendence were 0/66, 0/55, 0/52, 0/50, 0/55 and 0/76, respectively. In sum, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the SCSM as an instrument to measure of character strength among teacher’s sample.
