The present paper aims to provide a combined quality evaluation model of higher education in higher education based on the CIP evaluation approach. In terms of purpose, this study is a basic research that has been done with cross-sectional survey method and with an approach based on mixed research method. The statistical population of this study includes experts active in the electronic unit of Azad University, who have been selected by targeted sampling method. Data collection tools are interviews and questionnaires. To achieve the objectives of the research, by analyzing the interviews with the experts, a set of applied indicators of combined education quality assessment were identified. The main categories of combination education quality assessment are: context, input, process, and output. Sub-categories also include expectations, opportunities, goals, faculty members, e-unit managers, students, facilities, equipment and "educational aids, process management and monitoring methods, product". According to the leveling done, the final model for evaluating the quality of combined education was designed in the electronic unit of Azad University. Based on this model, proper selection of infrastructure managers is the most important element in implementing a combined education evaluation system.

The purpose of this study was to design student citizenship curriculum model. Quantitative and qualitative methods have been used for this purpose in the form of a mixed design. The first stage of research is based on the qualitative method of the basic theory. At this stage, 28 experts from the fields of education, curriculum and social sciences were selected and interviewed. In the second step, using a survey method, the views of experienced professionals and teachers have been used to test the validity of the designed model. The findings show that the courses of citizenship education include human and moral values, collective life skills training (order and responsibility), cultural reconstruction, political education, civic participation, emphasis on social justice and multicultural education. In educational methods as well as evaluation, emphasis has been placed on the formation of informal groups and the monitoring of group activities, learning in practice, and student-centered and participatory teaching methods. The study of the agreement coefficients for all educational curricula and teaching methods is higher than 0.6 which indicates the validity of the results.

The present study aims to determine the effectiveness of Lego social training educational packages on moral judgment, social skills and creativity of the second-grade students of primary school in Yazd city. All of the second-grade students in primary schools of Yazd that were under education in 1397 – 1398 were included in the statistical population, which counted up to 1500 students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test design with experimental and control groups. For this purpose, 30 female second grade primary school students in Yazd city were chosen, using multi-stage cluster sampling method, and in the last cluster, students were selected by simple random sampling method and were divided into two experimental (15 people) and control groups (15 people). Data collection tools were a questionnaire of moral judgment, social skills, and creativity. Lego training was conducted in twelve 60-minute sessions by the researcher in the experimental group. The results show that the Lego social training education is effective on moral judgment, social skills, and creativity of second grade students in Yazd primary schools, and has increased moral judgment, social skills and creativity and its dimensions (initiative, fluidity, expansion and flexibility). The results show that after Lego social training teachings in the experimental group, a significant increase in students' moral judgment and social skills compared to the control group was Considered. As a result, it can be said that social teachings by Lego, affect the moral judgment and social skills of students.

The purpose of this study was to present a structural model of virtuous leadership in order to predict job aspiration, job satisfaction and innovative behaviors based on organizational commitment, organizational climate and management strategies in 1398. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the study consisted of 2522 faculty members of Azad University units in Tehran province. Due to the different nature of Azad University, using the Krejcie and Morgan table and initially by stratified sampling, 350 individuals were considered as sample size. Data were collected using standard questionnaire from Cheraghi et al. (1998). After collecting the questionnaires, data were analysed by mean, standard deviation, etc. using Spss-21 software and statistical inference through structural equation modelling using LISREL-v8.80. The technical characteristics of the questionnaire including reliability, convergent validity, and divergent validity were investigated. In addition, path coefficients and software significant coefficients were used to investigate the research hypotheses. Finally, the findings of the study confirmed the impact of virtuous leadership in predicting job aspiration, job satisfaction and innovative behaviors based on organizational commitment, organizational climate and management strategies.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of organizational justice in the relationship between transformational leadership and succession planning in higher education. The research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population of this study included all administrators (200 people) of Kharazmi University were selected by convenience sampling method. For data collection were used the three Questionnaire of succession planning (Kim, 2006), Bass & Avolio (2004) transformational leadership, and organizational justice (Niehoff, and Moorman1993). Data analysis was done by using structural equation modeling in AMOS And Spss-22 software. The results of structural equation modeling showed that the conceptual model of research with experimental data fits very well and organizational justice plays the role of a complete mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and succession planning. Accordingly, the variable relationship between transformational leadership and succession planning through organizational justice was confirmed in the form of path analysis. Thus, the variable of organizational justice showed a facilitating role in the relationship between leadership and transformational leadership and succession planning. Also, the leading variable of transformational leadership had a direct and positive effect on the succession planning of administrators. It can be concluded from the results of the study that organizational justice in the university has a facilitating role in the development of succession planning programs. Thus, by adopting a transformational leadership approach at the university, organizational justice will be established at the university, and eventually the process of succession planning will be upgraded and developed.
