The main propose of this study is to survey the extent of approved educational ethical goals achievement and its relation to moral judgment among students of fifth grade elementary school in Bandar Abbas. Research method is descriptive-survey and correlation study. Research population consisted of all fifth grade students of Bandar Abbas and a sample of 394 students were chosen by cluster sampling. Two questionnaires were used for data gathering. The first questionnaire made by researchers was ethical goals achievement questionnaire and the second one was moral judgment questionnaire (MJT). Descriptive statistics including the computation of mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation and inferential statistics involving T and Friedman tests were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the approved ethical goals have been achieved by 5th –grade student at a desired level in Bandar Abbas primary education. Although all goals have been achieved at the desired level, their achievement levels differ and their ranks vary. In effect, the goals with respect to which there were consensus and cooperation between home and school showed a higher level of realization. Results also show significant relationship between the levels of moral judgments and ethical goals at 0.05. But out of the twenty one moral goals only seven goals didn't have relation to moral judgments. The Content of these seven goals shows that they are influenced by parents' child rearing style and school's control and discipline.

The present study intends to design and accredit a suitable model of change management with the focus on the intra-organizational factors based on a review of the related literature. In this model & modified-Delphi technique was applied to accredit state comprehensive universities, which was dependent upon the experts. To achieve the aim, 30 faculty members, who were specialized in the fields of management an education and also had the experience of implementing the organizational change plan at universities, were requested to collaborate and the questionnaire forms were sent to them when they agreed to help. The questionnaire was used for data collection in this study. 19 factors that affected the success of change plan were identified through reviewing the existing literature on the change plan. Then these factors were classified into three categories: management factors, organizational factors and individual factors. Management factors consisted of supporting, participating, empowering, rewarding, communicating, monitoring and transformational leadership.Organizational factors included resources, organizational cultures, organizational justice, organizational climate, change messages, and organizational structures. Individual factors comprised psychological ownership, self efficacy, and organizational commitment, attitude to change plan and his/her expert and experience. The results of this study revealed that all the identified factors in the literature were widely approved by the experts who participated in Delphi. Two other new factors, policy making and trust to management and a sub-factor, legitimacy of change plan were also found. Moreover, the designed change management model for state comprehensive universities showed high agreement of acceptance by experts
