Aims: The purpose of this study was to develop a self-determination educational package and determine its effectiveness on intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation of high school students. Method: The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test with the control group and follow up. At first, self-determination educational package was compiled using library studies, then the rate of content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) was determined by the experts. Using a multistage cluster random sampling method, a 22-members class and a 20-members class of 10th grade empirical science filed were assigned to the experimental group and the control group, respectively, that experimental group had 2 students drop. The experimental group received an educational package in eight 90-minute sessions, and the control group did not receive any education. The findings were analyzed using covariance analysis and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The content validity index (CVI) for all goals in the educational package was 0.9 to 1, and the content validity ratio (CVR) for all goals in the educational protocol was 0.8 to 1. The findings indicated that the self-determination educational package affects the intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation of high school students in Tehran. Moreover, no meaningful difference between post-test and follow-up was detected, which reveals the stability of learning effects.

The research method was experimental and pre-test and post-test with control group were used. The statistical population of the study included all second grade high school female students in the city of Nourabad. In order to do this research, one second grade of three second grade of the field of work and knowledge and one second grade of eighteen second grade theoretical fields was selected by using random sampling. The tool used in the research was a researcher-made entrepreneurship career routing questionnaire. The Face validity of the questionnaire was assessed by educational counseling experts and its reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.8). The obtained data were analyzed by using covariance analysis. The results of the study showed that the mean of the variable of the career path of the students and the subscales of entrepreneurship knowledge, the attitude toward entrepreneurship as a career path and the choice of entrepreneurship as a career path were more than the control group but there is no meaningful difference between the two experimental and control groups in the mean subscale of routing knowledge (p<0/05). Therefore, it can be concluded that entrepreneurship education is effective on students’ career routing and entrepreneurship can be considered as a career path.

The instruments used included questionnaires "tendency to lifelong learning", "perception of constructivist learning environment", "individual systematic thinking" and "intrinsic motivation". To evaluate of proposed model was performed Structural Equation Analysis Method (SEM) and was utilized to test the indirect relations of Macro Prechere and Hayes program. Results: The evaluation of the proposed model of the study showed good and acceptable fit of the model. The direct effect of variables from the perception of constructivist learning environment, individual systematic thinking, and intrinsic motivation with the tendency lifelong learning was significant to positive.

This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the selection and behavior of computer games by the children. The statistical population of this research is elementary school students in Ahvaz city, Because of the great and difficult access to all of them, 400 students 7 to 12 years old were selected as cluster random sampling. Data collection is done through valid and reliable questionnaires. The results of data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling, showed that Factors such as, parents, peers, product appearance, price, media and advertising have a positive and significant effect on the child's purchasing behavior.

The aim of this project is to construct, and to evaluate the validity and reliability of Caring Thinking Skill (CTS) questionnaire based on ‘Philosophy for Children’ educational approach, for first high school students in Tehran. For this purpose, a pilot study was carried out on 60 students. Then, 742 students (358 girls and 384 boys) were selected by cluster sampling method and CTS questionnaire in Five subscales, including Valuative Thinking, Emotional Thinking, Normative Thinking, Active Thinking and Empathic Thinking, were distributed among them and the results were interpreted and analyzed. Content validity of the questionnaire was assessed by 16 local and foreign professors. The reliability of this test was also evaluated by using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The findings indicated the content validity was appropriate (CVR = 0/87), and in the construct validity, according to the results of EFA, 29 questions were deleted and the validity of the 60-item test was confirmed. Finally, from each of the sub skills, five questions that were the most frequent factors were selected and the form of the 25 questions was verified by using CFA. The findings also showed a significant difference between Caring Thinking, Valuative Thinking, Emotional Thinking and Normative Thinking skills among boys and girls. This research results indicated that the CTS questionnaire provides information on general skills and five sub skills, and can be used to measure and develop this skill for first high school students.

Introduction the purpose of present research was identifying the obstacles to international interactions of the faculty members in Iran. Method To achieve the purpose, qualitative phenomenological approach was used. The research population was all experts in the field of higher education in Iran, which 17 experts were selected through purposive sampling method and based on theoretical saturation. To collect the data, semi-structured interview was used and for the data analysis, inductive content analysis was applied. Results The results showed that the obstacles to faculty members’ international interactions can be defined through three main obstacles: inside university obstacles (limited support of university structure from faculty members’ international interactions, limited support of university culture from faculty members’ international interactions and limited financial support of university from faculty members’ international interactions), outside university obstacles (impact of political tensions and international sanctions on faculty members’ international interactions and cumbersome administrative regulations for visa issuance) and individual obstacles(low motivation of faculty members for international interactions, poor mastery of faculty members of the international language and lack of scientific-research abilities of some of the faculty members). Discussion This study adds to our knowledge about international interactions of the faculty members and also the barriers and challenges of these interactions, so to have more interactions of faculty members at the international level, universities should be effort to identify of barriers and eliminate them, more than ever.
