Purpose: The purpose of the present paper was to study factors affecting the application of modern teaching methods by female teachers of Ilam Province. Methodology: The research is being conducted descriptively and is of a correlational type and an applied one. The statistical population includes about 4800 teachers, out of which 320 (sample size) were selected through cluster sampling. The main tool for collecting data was questionnaire which was validated and its reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) was 0.84. The statistical tests including correlation test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Findings: The results indicated that age (P= 0.000, R= - 0.55), level of education (P= 0.000, R= - 0.47), and length of service (P= 0.000, R= - 0.45) have significant, negative relationship with application of modern teaching methods. Variables of social responsibility (P= 0.000, R= 0.48) and attitude (P= 0.000, R= 0.71) have significant, positive relationship with application of modern teaching methods. One-way analysis of variance showed that there is a significant relationship between teachers’ teaching level and the application of modern teaching methods, such that elementary-school teachers used modern teaching methods more than high-school teachers. In-service training course (P= 0.133, R= 0.10) was the only variable having no relationship with the dependent variable. The results of regression analysis showed that the four remaining variables of the model, i.e. attitude, age, teaching level, and level of education, could explain about 0.60 of variance of the dependent variable. Conclusion: Considering the fact that teachers’ attitude plays the greatest part in prediction of application of modern teaching methods, the Education System authorities should take measures to change teachers’ attitude towards modern teaching methods.

Methodology:This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and with grounded theory method. The statistical population of this study included all junior high school teachers who were selected by snowball method (chain reference). Data collection was done through interviews with professors and teachers individually and in groups. These interviews were collected based on indicators such as type of school (governmental and non-governmental), gender, education and age. Strauss and Corbyn are attributed to data analysis Findings: During this study, it was found that the barriers and challenges of educational citizenship behavior among teachers are related to the categories of meeting economic and living needs, organizational justice, and organizational characteristics of teachers, strategic education programs, and respect. The main underlying theory derived from the analysis of respondents' findings (a model of educational citizenship behavior) in teachers b. Economic needs indicate that salaries and benefits received have a direct impact on the incidence of teachers' educational citizenship behaviors. Having a sense of justice helps to maintain the status quo, and the greater the sense of motivation, the greater the motivation to work and try. Interested teachers also exhibit greater levels of educational citizenship behavior. Because committed teachers consider this behavior to be based on their committed values and assignments, and accordingly show appropriate educational citizenship behavior. Conclusion: According to research findings, teachers need mutual respect to gain power and social status. Teachers who have this need seek education and learning and tend to control the learning environment.

The communication skills questionnaire had 18 items with three components "verbal skills, listening skills and feedback skills". The Classroom Management Effectiveness Questionnaire also consisted of 35 questions that measured the three components of "establishing discipline in the classroom, the effectiveness of parental education, and the effectiveness of the teacher's personal training." The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using face and content validity methods. The reliability of the questionnaires was also reported using the appropriate Cronbach's alpha method. In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient test and path analysis test were used.Findings: The results showed that there is not a significant relationship between the communication skills of managers and their components with the component of classroom discipline, but the total score of total communication skills of managers and its components with the other overall score of the classroom management and the components of the effectiveness of parent education And there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the effectiveness of teacher training. The results of path analysis indicate that the effect of verbal skills on classroom discipline is irrelevant and has a significant effect on the effectiveness of parental education and the effectiveness of teacher education. Hearing skills can also explain the effectiveness of parental training and the effectiveness of teacher training in a meaningful way and the classroom discipline is unreasonably explained. Finally, feedback skills can effectively explain the effectiveness of parental education and the effectiveness of teacher training in a meaningful way and the classroom discipline is unreasonably explained.Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that strengthening the communication skills of principals can be effective in enriching verbal and non-verbal communication with students' parents and also helping teachers in the quality of classroom management.
