The purpose of the present study is to determine the pathology of the regulations for delegation of the curriculum authority to universities and higher education institutions. The research community is all faculty members of the Department of Educational Sciences of the Schools of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the State Universities. A sample of 81 people was selected from this population, through multi-stage cluster sampling. The research method is quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional survey. A researcher-made questionnaire of 61 questions was used for collecting data. Cronbach's alpha (0.92) and content validity ratio (0.71) techniques was used to determine the reliability and validity of the tools. Single sample T-test and Friedman test was used for data analysis. The findings of the study indicate that the overall status of the Code of Conduct and the executive dimension are favorable from the viewpoint of the respondents. There was a significant difference at the 0.05 level regarding the ranking of the main dimensions of executive and content of the by-laws.

The current study aimed at comparing the effects of computerized dynamic assessment(CDA), dynamic assessment (DA) and static assessment (SA) on reading comprehension performance. Additionally, the learners' attitudes towards the SA, DA and CDA were also investigated. The participants of the present study included 60 Iranian EFL learners. The learners’ reading performance was tested to assure that the three groups were not significantly different in terms of reading comprehension prior to treatment. After checking their readability were followed by some reading comprehension questions. Following that, one of the groups received DA for reading comprehension questions via receiving the least implicit to most explicit hints provided by the teacher until the learners came up with the correct responses. As for the CDA group the software provided hints in a step-wise manner from the most implicit to the most explicit for the learners until they came up with the right response. The treatments lasted for four sessions and immediately afterwards the learners in the three groups sat for the reading comprehension posttest. Moreover, 10 participants in each group were interviewed to explore their attitudes towards SA, DA and CDA. The results of statistical analysis indicated that both DA and CDA had significant effects on improving the participants’ reading comprehension performance. Moreover, it was revealed that CDA was significantly more effective on reading comprehension performance compared with DA. The analysis of interview contents indicated that overall the participants held more positive attitudes towards the CDA compared to the conventional DA and SA assessment types.

The purpose of this study was to develop a structural model of academic maladjustment based on educational injustice, burnout, academic deception and lack of self-efficacy. The research method was correlation in the form of structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of all students of Bu Ali Sina University in Hamadan in the academic year 1396-97. Measurement tools included Golparvar Educational Justice Questionnaire (2010), academic burnout of Bresu et al. (1998), Golparvar Academic Satisfaction Questionnaire (2010), Eun & Freeman Self-efficacy Questionnaire (2001), Baker and Seriak Academic Adaptation Questionnaire (1984). Research data were analyzed using structural equation modeling through AMOS statistical software. The results showed that the structural equation modeling of the relationships between educational injustice, inefficiency, burnout and academic deception has a good fit in explaining academic maladjustment. These findings suggest that controlling educational injustice can be an effective and useful step in reducing burnout, deception, inefficiency, and academic maladjustment.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the Psychological Resilience Training Program on university students ‘causal attribution styles, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, health behaviors and psychological well-being. In this true-experimental study with pretest-posttest control-group design in company with follow up stage, 60 students in experimental (30 students) and control (30 students) groups responded to the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). The experimental group received 10 Psychological Resilience Training Program sessions (2 hours a session). The results statistical procedure of multivariate covariance analysis indicated that Psychological Resilience Training Program was effective in increasing positive causal attributions, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, health behaviors and scales of psychological well-being and in decreasing negative causal attributions and non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in short term and long term. These findings suggest that Psychological Resilience Training Program by reducing or eliminating stressors, tolerating or adjusting to negative events or realities, maintaining a positive self-image, maintaining emotional equilibrium and continuing satisfying relationships with others could result in mental immunization in students.

As a qualitative research, this study aims to investigate external challenges of Iran's higher education system based on the global rankings’ indicators in which Ruth Wodak’s method of critical discourse analysis was applied. Participants included 16 scholars and senior officials from Higher Education Institutions in Tehran whose were selected via snowball sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were applied to collect data based on theoretical saturation which were lasting between 30 and 60 minutes. For data validation both participants review (member check) and review by external experts (external check) were applied. critical discourse analysis were used to analyze data. The finding revealed that policy-making challenges including “diversity and lack of coordination in policies of institutions determining higher education policies, lack of attention to determining missions in policy-making, not specialized policy-making processes and not using research results in them”, economic challenges including “lack of attention to income generation of universities in economic policies of Iran, lack of attention to knowledge-based economy for Iran’s economic development”, and sociocultural challenges including “low importance of science in the Iranian society, lack of attention to education of global citizens, and special attention to the local ‘We’”, are main external factors which have affected Iranian higher education system leading to low global ranking of Iranian universities. In this regard, some strategies are presented to improve the global ranking of Iranian universities.

The aim of this study is explaining the concept of a transformative curriculum in order to Critique the education curriculum of Iran in 2019. In this study, qualitative research method of critical philosophical inquiry was used. The field of research has consisted of books, all articles and scientifically available print and digital resources related to the transformative curriculum from 1979 to 2019. Purposeful sampling method was used and the review of texts and documents related to the transformative curriculum was performed gradually and continued until theoretical saturation. By reviewing three paper and 10 chapters from different books, theoretical saturation was achieved. Information was collected using the "Document Review" tool. In the first and second steps, data were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method of inductive categorization and thematic coding, and in the third step, the research was analyzed using the reflective method of data. The findings show that the transformed curriculum has six main assumptions: homogeneous and correlated. Comparing the assumptions of the changing curriculum based on the criterion of creativity showed that while converging its dimensions, curriculum as cosmology, fiction creativity, curriculum as complexity, tolerance of ambiguity, curriculum as dialogue, integration Rational thinking and narrative thinking, curriculum as a course, "becoming", curriculum as a community, relationships and curriculum as a set of students' learning experiences emphasize the antecedent and outstanding synchronization and are effective in improving creativity. The transformative curriculum is not predetermined, but a transformational reality.
