Purpose: Learning strategies play an important role in performance and academic progress, and the design of various models can be effective in this field. As a result, the present research was conducted with the aim of designing a model of learning strategies.Methodology: The current research was cross-sectional in terms of time, applied in terms of purpose, and qualitative in terms of execution method. The research community was academic documents and experts about learning strategies in 2021. The sample of the research was 15 documents and 20 university experts who were selected as a sample based on the principle of theoretical saturation and after checking the inclusion criteria with the purposeful sampling method. The tools of the current research were note-taking and semi-structured interview, the validity of which was confirmed by the triangulation method and the reliability was obtained by the agreement coefficient method between two coders of 0.85. Data were analyzed by coding method in MAXQDA software.Findings: The findings showed that the pattern of learning strategies had 47 indicators, 7 components and 2 dimensions; So that the dimension of cognitive strategies had 4 components of repetition strategy, expansion strategy, organization strategy and evaluation strategy, and the dimension of metacognitive strategies had 3 components of planning strategy, monitoring strategy and organizing strategy.Conclusion: According to the indicators, components and dimensions of the learning strategies model, to improve the performance and academic progress of learners, it is possible to improve the identified dimensions and components of learning strategies.

Purpose: the aim of this research compare the effectiveness of group counseling with Gestalt therapy and reality therapy on identify style in the first high school students in Tehran. Methodology: Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all female students in the first secondary school of public schools in Tehran in the academic year 2009-2010. 45 people were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling method and randomly divided into three groups of 15 people. In this study, the first experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of Gestalt therapy group counseling training program and the second experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of reality therapy group counseling training program and the control group did not receive any treatment. The research tool was Brzonsky (1989) Identity Styles Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test and SPSS software version 22. Findings: The results showed that group reality therapy counseling had a greater effect on identity styles than Gestalt therapy. Emphasizing human freedom and responsible behavior, reality therapy seeks to persuade students to identify their values and set goals, actions, barriers, and ultimately a commitment to take action to achieve identity. Therefore, group reality therapy counseling is an effective method in students' identity styles (P˃ 0,001). Conclusion: Based on the research findings, there is a significant difference in identity styles between the first experimental group of Gestalt therapy group counseling, the second experimental group of reality therapy and the control group.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of teaching emotion-focused strategies on cooperative learning in first high school students. Method: This study employed a semi-experimental research method using pretest-posttest design with a control group. Among all the female high school students in the first district of Tehran, who were attending public schools in the city of Tehran in the 2017-18 school year, fifty students were chosen from Narges School through purposive sampling, and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Then, students in the experimental group were subjected to the independent variable (emotion-focused strategies) during 12 sessions. The tool used in the study was Stephen's Cooperative Learning Questionnaire (2007), which was administered in three stages of pre-test, post-test and (one month) follow-up in both experimental and control groups, the results were analyzed using mixed variance analysis test and Bonferroni post-hoc test in the SPSS24 software. Results: Results showed that there were significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores between experimental and control groups (P < 0.05). In other words, the teaching of emotion-focused strategies increased cooperative learning in the experimental group. Bonferroni test results showed that the emotion-focused strategy training has a lasting effect. Conclusion: Considering the significant effect of emotion-focused strategies on students' cooperative learning, this method can be used to improve their educational success.
