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.

purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the tendency of students working at the graduate level of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Research Sciences Branch. Methodology: The method of this research is survey and its statistical population (N) is postgraduate students of Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University in 1398. The sample population (n) was 300 subjects who were selected using Cochran's formula. The data of this study were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire with 4 variables and 26 questions. Regression analysis, Friedman test and other related inferential statistics were used for statistical analysis of data. Results: Based on the analysis of the data, 47.5% of the students at a very high level stated that they have a tendency to migrate (bronchochi). In this regard, based on the findings of regression analysis, repulsive factors (internal) with a beta of 329%, gravitational factors (external) with a beta of 271% and individual factors with a coefficient of 249% had the highest predictability of students for migration, respectively. Also, based on the results of Friedman test, political factors with an average rank of 3.64 and social factors with an average rank of 3.39 had the greatest role and influence on the tendency of elites to emigrate abroad. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, scientific elites have a negative assessment of the internal conditions of the country in political, social, economic and cultural dimensions and have a positive attitude towards the conditions of developed countries. Therefore, it can be said that being multidimensional and even the accumulation of various issues causes the elite to decide to emigrate despite all internal dependencies. It seems that the formal government can prevent the outflow of this capital by identifying the students' problems.

Methodology: This study was semi-experimental with pretest and posttest design with control group. The research population was all third to fifth grades of elementary students of district one of Tehran city in 2016-17 academic years. The research sample was 120 students who were selected by cluster random sampling method and with method of simple random replaced into two equal groups (60 people in experimental group and 60 people in control group). The experimental group trained in metacognitive knowledge enhancement program instruction for 8 sessions of 2 hours and the control group did not received any training. The research instruments were the questionnaires of academic performance (Torrance, 1974) and fostering creativity (Pham and Taylor, 1999). Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance method in SPSS-22 software. Findings: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in both variables of academic performance and fostering creativity. In the other words, teachers' metacognitive knowledge enhancement program instruction led to increased academic performance (all its components including self-efficacy, planning, emotional effect, lack of outcome control and motivation) and fostering creativity (all its components including flexibility, fluency, elaboration and originality) of elementary students (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results, teachers can use the teachers' metacognitive knowledge enhancement program instruction along with other educational methods to improve academic performance and fostering creativity of elementary students.

Purpose: The present research aimed to provide a model of school managers' perception from the challenges of professional ethics in modern society.Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The research population was in the qualitative part was education experts of Gorgan city with history of management and policy making which according to the principle of theoretical saturation number of 20 people were selected by purposive sampling method and in the quantitative part was the managers and deputies of the first and second period of high school of Gorgan city in the academic years of 2018-19 with number of 256 people which according to the Cochran's formula, 153 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. To collect data were used from semi-structured interview and researcher-made questionnaire of managers' perception from the challenges of professional ethics that the validity of the managers' perception questionnaire with the method of average variance extracted 0.61 and its reliability obtained by Cronbach's alpha method and combination 0.94 and 0.87 respectively and validity of the challenges of professional ethics questionnaire was confirmed by exploratory factor analysis and average variance extracted and its reliability obtained by Cronbach's alpha method and combination of total and all factors higher than 0.60 and 0.70 respectively. Data were analyzed by methods of open, axial and selective coding and structural equation modeling in SPSS-22 and LISREL-8.8 software.Findings: The findings of the qualitative section showed that the challenges of professional ethics had 164 basic concepts, 38 open codes, 19 central codes and 9 elective codes. Knowledge (including three codes of up-to-dateness, comparative studies and knowledge dissemination), leadership (including two codes of paternalistic view and source of motivation), committed responsibility (including two codes of work commitment and efficiency), competitiveness (including two codes of competition law and advantage Competitive), development-oriented (including two codes of efficient rules of the Minister of Socio-Cultural Construction), constructive authoritarianism (including two codes of executive determination and constructive interaction) and futurism (including two codes of program-oriented and needs assessment). Quantitative findings showed that managers' perceptions had a direct and significant effect on professional ethics challenges and professional ethics challenges on all nine factors (P <0.05).Conclusion: According to the results, planners and officials to coping the challenges of professional ethics can provide the ground to improve the orbital legitimacy, orbital ethics, orbital scientism, leadership nature, commitment responsibility, competitiveness, development-oriented, constructive authoritarianism and foresight.

Some experts believe that employees are the most important element to create Evolution in the organization, so in most organizations, managers look for to identify the expert staff in different parts of the organization so that they can play a significant role in improving the quality, efficiency and productivity of the organization by teaching) transferring the knowledge and experiences of these people (to other employees. In order to identify qualified employees, it is necessary to evaluate how the work is done in terms of quantity and quality to gain the understanding, knowledge and ability of employees in relation to the performance of tasks. Therefore, in determining the capacity and abilities of employees, it is not enough just to quantitatively evaluate the assigned tasks, it is necessary to refer to the qualitative evaluation by obtaining the opinion of the relevant official in accordance with how to perform the assigned tasks (experimental and tacit knowledge). In most government and public organizations, the tasks assigned to employees are not related to the job description, and also due to their multi-task, it is not possible to identify the skills of each person in each field. In order to determine the capacity and capabilities of employees, it is necessary to obtain a clear definition of the different parts of the work of the data recorded by employees in the operating systems of the organization. Then, by defining the operational model based on data mining, such as: combining quantitative and qualitative scores, eliminating additional data, preparing data and identifying the relationship between data, acceptable results were achieved. In this study (Case study: Bank of Industry and Mines) first using Delphi method, different sections of employees' work based on their activities are identified (categorized into 6 groups), then by collecting data from the system: Traffic control, performance evaluation system (completion of quality performance score of employees by branch heads), banking operations system) BANCO (and by analyzing them, the expert forces of the organization were identified. By reviewing the results and feedback on the identified qualified staff, the level of performance satisfaction in this method was also assessed, which has been highly acceptable.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of schema therapy with cognitive ,experimental , and behavioral techniques on the clinical syndrome with borderline personality disorder (BPD).Methods: This was a full factorial designed experiment with a pre-test and post-test design with control group and follow-up two month. The statistical population was all female adolescent in the age range of 15 to 17 and with borderline personality disorder symptoms referred to public-affiliated Peyvand clinic of Bojnourd city in year 2020-2021. In this study, 40 adolescent with borderline personality disorder symptoms by random sampling were considered as the sample size in three experimental group (10 people in each group) and one control group (10 people). The experimental groups underwent schema therapy (20 sessions 90 minutes), but the control group received no training and remained in the waiting list. To collect data borderline personality features scale for children (BPFS-C) of Crick and et al (2005). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-24 software in two sections: descriptive and inferential (analysis of variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni).Results: The results indicated that schema therapy with cognitive , experimental ,and behavioral techniques in post-test and follow up had a significant effect on decrease clinical syndrome of adolescent the dimentions of pseudobulbar affect (F=30/653;P=0/001),identity problems (F=35/302 ;P=0/001) ,negative relationships (F=19.359 ; p=0/001) ,self cutting (F=9/723 ; P=0/001) and that this effect was stable in the follow_up phase (p<0.05).Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, it can be said that the schema therapy can be used as a treatment method to decrease clinical syndrome adolescent girls with borderline personality disorder symptoms in clinical centers.

From the beginning of creation and creation of human communities until today, many dangers have threatened people's lives. Some of these risks leave such an economic impact and bring the level of livelihood to its lowest level that causes governments to feel responsible towards the victims and organize their efforts to manage these risks. The declaration of such responsibility by governments and the creation of social insurance cause such risks to take on a social color. Although examples of social risks, which can be classified into three categories of risks arising from professional life, physical risks and risks arising from family formation, have been identified in many legal systems, but the concept of social risk is still neglected. Acceptance of the opposite of risk raises the idea that when a person implicitly or explicitly accepts the risk of harm caused by another party, he cannot demand damages from the causer of the harm due to the harm caused. Countering the risk is a one-sided legal act that affects the ability to assign fault to the defendant, and is an absolver of fault or an obstacle to guarantee. In Iranian law, the theory of conflict of risk is not accepted, but this theory is widely used in society.
