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.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the educational policy in non-governmental financial institutions in order to present a appropriate model.Methodology: The research method, in terms of developmental purpose and in terms of the type of consecutive exploratory data, was performed in the qualitative part by the data method and in the quantitative part by the descriptive survey method. The statistical population included 3850 people in the qualitative part of a number of experts and in the quantitative part of all managers, deputies and staff members of institutions. In the qualitative section, 12 people were selected by snowball method and in the quantitative section, 384 people were selected by cluster and random method according to Krejcie and Morgan table. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that had a slight appearance, content and structure. Also, CVR was confirmed with a coefficient of 0.846 and its reliability was confirmed with a coefficient of 0.871 and the data were analyzed.Findings: The results showed that the dimensions and components of the model are: 1- Emphasis on strategic factors (scientific and skill abilities of policy makers, emphasis on realism in policy formulation, the impact of political parties on policy formulation, the impact of culture and society in Policy formulation) 2- Emphasis on supportive factors (use of national support, use of scientific community, use of support of government institutions and bodies) 3- Attention to educational quality (emphasis on evaluation in policy formulation, attention to staff growth, Emphasis on educational and research factors) 4- Paying attention to educational infrastructures and facilities (providing educational facilities, reforming organizational structure, fair distribution of budget) 5- Paying attention to multiple development (economic, political, social, cultural and scientific development) 6- Paying attention to the effects of policy implementation (educational growth, growth of human and moral values, creating the ground for justice distribution).Conclusion: Considering the root value of estimating the variance of the approximation error for each dimension which is equal to 0.063, 0.075, 0.063, 0.099, 0.093 and 0.081, respectively, the resulting model has a suitable structure.

After collecting the questionnaires and sending them to the researcher, the data were entered into the computer and data analysis was performed using SPSS and LISREL software. Results: The results showed that 2 expressions with non-significant factor load were removed and 44 items remained. Confirmatory factor analysis method was used to determine the fit of the remaining items, which confirmed the 7-factor model and included seven subscales of flexibility, prioritization, focus, ideation, risk-taking, perseverance, and hope. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, which was used to measure the reliability of the remaining items, showed that these factors had good reliability. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, by training the creative mind, it is possible to provide emotional well-being, improve interpersonal relationships and social adjustment, and help people to be more successful in various areas of life
