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 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.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between character virtues and self-compassion among female students in universities, with a focus on the mediating Role of positive emotions.
Methodology: The research employed a correlation method, targeting female students enrolled in universities in 2022. A sample size of 596 individuals was obtained through available sampling. Data collection utilized the short version of the Values in Action Questionnaire (Linley, Joseph, and Seligman, 2004), self-compassion questionnaire (Neff, 2003), and positive psychotherapy inventory (Rashid, 2020). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.
Results: The findings revealed that character virtues had a significant direct effect on self-compassion (p>0.003, β=0.61) and an indirect effect mediated by positive emotions (p>=0.003, β=0.06, p=0.003). Moreover, positive emotions exhibited a notable direct effect on self-compassion (p>0.003; β=0.19). also, character virtues and positive emotions explained approximately 58% of the variance in self-compassion.
Conclusions: The study underscores the mediating role played by positive emotions in shaping the relationship between charcter virtues and self-compassion among female university students - possibly enhancing their levels of self-kindness as well as fostering experiences based on excellence and positivity creation.

Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of school-related hardiness in the relationship between the Sense of school belonging with educational hope in the second-secondary level students of Mashhad City.
Methodology: The current research was applied research, and in terms of data collection, it was descriptive, correlational, and structural equations. The statistical population included all students who were studying theoretical subjects in the high school in Mashhad township in the academic year of 2021-2022. According to Klein's suggestion, the sample size was 322 people and they were selected by available sampling method. The research tools included the educational hope scale (Shegefti & Samani, 2011), the Sense of school belonging scale (Brew et al, 2004) and the school-related hardiness scale (Cole et al, 2004). The data were analyzed with the help of Pearson correlation coefficients and structural equation model in SPSS and AMOS software.
Findings: There is a significant positive relationship between all the components of the Sense of school belonging, academic hardiness and academic hope. Also, the Sense of school belonging has a positive and significant effect on academic hardiness and hope. In addition, hardiness also has a positive and significant effect on educational hope (p<0.01). Finally, the indirect effect of the Sense of school belonging on academic hope through academic hardiness was also confirmed (p<0.01).
Conclusion: The results confirmed the role of sense of belonging as a predictor of academic hope and highlight the role of academic hardiness as a mediator in this relationship. Students with high sense of belonging to school perform better in the two dimensions of academic hope in order to have social support and access to more intellectual-practical resources. Also, these people have higher academic hardiness due to the experience of positive emotions, which has an effect on the students' academic hope due to the increase in predictability, challenge and commitment. The findings show the importance of sense of belonging and academic hardiness in the formation of academic hope and suggest to create a suitable environment to increase students’ school belonging.
