IntroductionThe category of culture and its impact on the environment is one of the dimensions of sustainable development and the first step towards achieving this goal. We need environmental ethics to achieve sustainability, development and environmental protection. An ethic that recognizes and responds sensitively to the complex and changing connections between man and nature. In order for such ethics to emerge, it is necessary to review educational methods and systems. The aim of this study was to study the effectiveness of teaching method based on the teacher- assistant project on environmental ethics of Kashan high school students. MethodThe research method was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of the nature of the collected data, quantitative and based on a quasi-experimental approach (pre-test-post-test design with control group). The statistical population consisted of all male students of 11th grade public schools in Kashan with a number of 1171 people who were selected using the Convenient sampling method in two classes of 30 people. To collect data, Firoozfar, Faqihi & Erfani (2021) environmental ethics questionnaire was used, the content validity of which was confirmed by environmental experts, and its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.927. Data were analyzed at two levels of descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance) with SPSS26 software.ResultsThe results showed that teaching method based on the teacher- assistant project has a positive effect on environmental ethics in students (P<0.0005). Also, teaching method based on the teacher- assistant project has a positive effect on the components of environmental ethics (air, soil, water, plants and animals) in students (P<0.0005).DiscussionVarious studies show that among the many ways to deal with environmental problems, the most fundamental, effective and cost-effective way to prevent environmental degradation is public education and culture and the participation of people in the community. The way of teaching and teaching, especially active teaching methods, also has a great effect on students' self-learning abilities. One of the most important active teaching methods is the method of cooperation between teacher and students and students with each other. Therefore, by using appropriate teaching methods, efforts can be made to improve the level of environmental ethics in students, so that it can be felt in society.

IntroductionUniversities have experienced different generations in during their lives. The first generation of universities had a purely educational function. The second generation of universities also had a research function. In the third generation, the application of research was considered. The third generation of universities is called the: Entrepreneur University. Third generation universities must be able to be independent and Prepare your graduates to enter in the job market. The purpose of this study is to design a conceptual model for third generation universities in the distance education system.MethodThe method used in this research is Grounded theory. By using a purposeful sampling method, 46 faculty members of Payame Noor University were select. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Then the data were coded by the three-step method in Grounded theory.ResultsExecution of the open coding step identified 114 concepts. In axial coding stage, concepts were summarized into 23 sub-categories and 8 main categories. Then a paradigm model was drawn with causal conditions (organizational space of university), contextual conditions (organizational infrastructure), intervening conditions (autonomy, globalization and effective interactions), central phenomenon (third generation university), strategies (administrative and executive review) and outcome (development-oriented society). Finally, conceptual model of the third generation university was created.DiscussionBased on the conceptual model obtained, the university should be reviewed. This review should be done in the field of university hardware and software. Therefore, changes in strategies, perspectives, facilities and equipment are necessary for the third generation. In this case, the university can be a factor in the comprehensive development of society. To achieve this, the university must support from the new ideas and creativity of its staff. Also, creative beliefs in the workplace should replace routine beliefs. In the field of hardware, the necessary equipment to develop the talents of employees should be provided to them. In addition, the university must have a good relationship with other universities and other sections of society. To become a third-generation university, administrative approaches must become more flexible and educational policies must change. The new needs for educational and research should be known and based on those needs, educational and research goals should be set. By making these changes, the university will be on the path of economic and social development which creates innovative products and creative services. Finally, the establishment of this type of university leads to sustainable development in society.

The present study was conducted to fit the mathematical-structural model of knowledge commercialization in Payame Noor University. This research is quantitative and based on correlation method using Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach. Statistical population consisted of all faculty members and PhD students in Payame Noor University. In this research, the required data were collected by using the proportional stratified sampling method in two stages, pilot stage (100 participants including 79 faculty members and 21 PhD students) and main stage (245 participants including 200 faculty members and 51 PhD students). A research instrument comprising the researcher-made 114-item questionnaire designed to measure seven existing constructs in research model. Psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, measures of research instrument were evaluated and supported by using the confirmatory factor analysis approach on the data of preliminary stage. In order to analyses the data in the main stage, first by means of data screening (including box plot, Mahalonobis statistic, uni- and multivariate Skewness and Kurtosis coefficients, and scatter plot) the position of outliers' data and assumptions underlying Structural Equation Model (SEM) statistical approach were also investigated. Then, by using a statistical approach of structural equation model, the way the model was fitted and mathematical-structural relationships between its existing constructs were tested. The results showed that preliminary fitted model requires some reforms in format involving deleting of 8 direct insignificant paths among its constructs as well as adding paths of correlation variance errors between indicators of the model endogenous constructs. Thus, the final modified model was perfectly fitted.

The present study aims to design a conceptual model for commercialization of knowledge in the system of higher education with the study put the payame Noor University was carried out. Research method, is Qualitative and based on Grounded Theory with the systematic approach. The statistical population consists of all members of Faculty and specialized doctoral students' payame noor university. On the this research, theoretical purposive sampling method was used in such a way that using the 29 subjective (19 members of the Faculty and 10 doctoral students) the data required that to theoretical saturated were reached was assemble. The research instrument was also included half-structured interview. In order to analyze the data from the three-stage process of coding based on a systematic approach of grounded theory was used. The implementation of open coding process was led to the identification of the 133 concept (the initial open codes) and summarize their in the form of 8 main categories with 33 subcategories (the secondary open codes). Then, paradigm model based on the axial coding process in the form of the causal conditions (environmental capabilities), the contextual conditions (organizational capabilities), the intervening conditions (individual knowledge builder features, characteristics of productived knowledge and knowledge customers), the core phenomenon (knowledge commercialization), strategies (designing and implementation of facilititater mechanisms) and consequences (society of knowledge-based) were graph and finally, The conceptual ultimate model of research using the selective coding process in the form of propositions that had narrative the relationship between the main categories were depicted.
