Methodology: In terms of practical purpose, this research was semi-experimental based on a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all the male students of the sixth grade in the city of Hasan Abad from Shahrari in the academic year of 2019-20. The sample was selected by multi-stage random sampling. The statistical sample was 50 students who were replaced in two experimental groups and control group (25 people in each group). In order to collect data, interpersonal intelligence questionnaire (Chislet and Chapman, 2005), love of learning questionnaire (McFarlane, 2003) and self-control questionnaire (Tanjani, 2004) were used. People in the experimental group were taught life skills (problem solving and decision-making) for ten sessions for one hour, and the group did not receive a training certificate. In order to analyze the data, multivariate covariance analysis was used in SPSS-24 software.
Findings: Findings show that teaching life skills (problem solving and decision-making) in sixth grade students increased interpersonal intelligence, love of learning and self-control (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results indicated that problem-solving and decision-making training can be an important way to create positive academic outcomes and positive psychological conditions in the school environment, and teachers and psychologists can use these trainings as One of the ways to prepare students to live in today's turbulent world.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive factors of returning to illiteracy in education graduates of literacy course. The population of the study included all illiteracy graduates in the country. Using multi-level cluster sampling, 486 participants were chosen and studied. The instruments of the study included self- researcher's scale of educational achievement, special self- researcher's questionnaire of novice literates, Herman's Achievement Motivation Scale Questionnaire (HAMQ), and Rosenberg self-confidence scale. To analyze the data, regression analysis was used. The results indicated that variables of family agreement with literacy, educational programs' quality, the presence of educated individuals in the family, family's monthly income and achievement motivation negatively; and number of children, women's responsibility of housekeeping and fertility positively predicted the main factors of returning to illiteracy in education graduates of literacy course and its equivalent (R-squared adjusted=. /267, p<. /001, F=15/567). The results of the study indicated that Social – economic and cultural factors have the most important role in the rate of novice literates' return to illiteracy and factors related to the quality of educational programs and motivation have been subsequent predictors of return to illiteracy.

Functions of the Formal Education A Critical Analysis of the Iranian Case Seyed Zia Hashemi Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Tehran Email: zhashemi@ut.ac.ir Mohsen Gholami M.A. in Sociology, University of Tehran Abstract This article seeks to analyze the mechanisms of Iran’s education system, using the critical theories, especially that of Ivan Ilich. First, we discuss the social issues which can be traced to education system’s mechanisms, directly or either indirectly. Then these issues are analyzed through the lens of critical theories, during which the relationship between some traits of the mechanisms of Iran’s education system, its malfunctions and dysfunctions of the system are unraveled. Based on this analysis we propose some solutions to amend the education system. Overwhelming emphasis that the state recruitment system puts on certificates makes people obey the rules of education system blindly in order to gain formal qualifications and certificates. Some traits of education system such as categorizing based on age and certificate, centralized curricular materials, hegemony of specialists, mandatory schooling, long years of education and schooling, and so on, sprang up numerous educational and social problems. The proposed solution is that education system and the state recruitment system must change radically in order to regain efficiency.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify individual and family factors affecting the vandalism behavior of adolescent high school students.Methodology: The research method was descriptive-correlational and the size of the population was 27,519 first and second grade high school students in District 2 of Rasht (12,977 girls and 14,542 boys) from 2017 to 2018. According to Morgan's table, 377 samples were selected by simple random sampling method and the questionnaire was researcher-made. The reliability of individual, family and vandalism questions was calculated by Cronbach's alpha test as 0.85, 0.894 and 0.873 and its validity was calculated as -0.21, 0.39, and -0.27 by HTMT method. Spearman correlation coefficient and multivariate regression with Spss software were used for analysis.Findings: The constant value of B individual questions was positive for all questions of vandalism and its statistical significance with t test and α = 0.05 showed that the value of P value is less than the value of α = 0.05. However, most of the coefficients β1 to β9 of vandalism questions are negative and indicate a reduction of destructive behaviors by reducing individual problems. Also, the constant value of B family questions was positive for vandalism questions and the statistical significance of t-test showed that the value of P value was less than α = 0.05 in all cases. But most of the coefficients β1 to β16 are effective in negative destructive behavior and indicate a decrease in vandalism in exchange for reducing the effect of family problems.Conclusion: As a result, in order to reduce vandalism, solving individual and family problems should be prioritized in order to reduce vandalism.
