  The purpose of this research was to present a model of the antecedents and consequences of self-disclosure in the country's educational environment.Although self-disclosure, its effective factors and consequences have special value from the aspect of many sciences such as counseling, educational management, educational sciences, psychology, etc., and numerous studies have been conducted on it, but a careful review of the research literature proved that so far no comprehensive and written study with a mixed approach and in the form of providing an integrated model has been done that has investigated the dimensions of this concept, its effective factors and consequences. Each of the existing studies have investigated one or more variables affecting self-disclosure separately. Therefore, according to the existing study gap, according to the history of the researcher's educational activity as a teacher and understanding the importance of self-disclosure in order to maintain the mental health of students of this country, the concern arises that in addition to a comprehensive look at the conducted researches, with an in-depth perspective, analyze this structure, its components, factors affecting it and its consequences in the educational environment of the country. Therefore, the main object of this research is "providing a model of the antecedents and consequences of self-disclosure in the educational environment of the country". In this research, the researcher intends to present effective factors and possible consequences in the form of a conceptual model.

The methodology of this research is quantitative-descriptive. The sample of the current research is the first high school students of selected Tehran areas. These areas were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. According to subject of this research and the studied population (target), the sample size is selected according to the application of structural equations software, in the number of 600 students of the first secondary school in Tehran. For this purpose, the city of Tehran was first divided into five regions of North, South, East, West and Center by cluster sampling method. Then, from these five regions (regions 1, 5, 6, 8, 16), schools were selected as a cluster and then random samples were selected from each school. In this research, the researcher intends to use the questionnaire extracted from the qualitative part (made by the researcher). This questionnaire consists of two parts. The first part consists of demographic characteristics including gender, age, education level, and region, etc and the second part will contain specialized questions with a response package prepared on a five-point Likert scale.A: Reflective measurement model test (cv com test)B: Structural model tests include:• Hypothesis significance test (direct path)• R-squares or R2 test (determination coefficient)• Structural model quality test (Cv Red)C: the general fit test of the model at the end (SRMR)
 

According to the data obtained, there are 172 students in the seventh grade and 31.44%, 180 students in the eighth grade and 32.91%, and 195 students in the ninth grade and 35.65% and a total of 547 people answered the questions of the questionnaire in the educational levels of the first secondary school. According to the obtained data, all values of CV com are higher than 0.15. As a result, the quality of the measurement model is medium to high.The results show that after removing the counseling expertise variable, the paths of the model from antecedents to self-disclosure and from self-disclosure to the consequences of self-disclosure are significant. It can be concluded that the components of trust, internal motivation, experience, being supported, context of acceptance and environmental conditions are the antecedents of students' self-disclosure. And the components of privacy awareness, mutual communication, creative thinking, problem solving, privacy risk, self-belief, optimism, monitorability, empathy, effective listening and learning from According to the obtained data, the effect of internal motivation on self-disclosure is T-Value = 7.509, the effect of trust on self-disclosure is T-Value = 4.632, the effect of having experience on self-disclosure is T-Value = 2.017, the effect of acceptance context on self-disclosure T-Value = 3.461, the effect of environmental conditions on self-disclosure T-Value = 4.343 and the effect of being supported on self-disclosure with T-Value = 4.392 which It is in the range [-1/96, 1/96]. P-Value=0, which is less than 0.05, rejects the H0 hypothesis and accepts the H1 hypothesis at the 95% confidence level. But the effect of consultant's expertise on self-disclosure T-Value = 0.5, which is not outside the range [-1.96, 1.96] and P-Value = 0.617, which is not less than 0.05, at the confidence level of 95 % HO hypothesis is confirmed and H1 hypothesis is rejected. And on the other hand, the value of β, which shows the intensity and direction of the effect, is positive in internal motivation 0.259, trust 0.168, experience 0.065, environment acceptance 0.12, environmental conditions 0.145, and being supported 0.2; therefore, it is predicted that if the research is repeated in a larger sample of the same community, this hypothesis will be confirmed, and on the other hand, the β value that shows the intensity and direction of the effect, the consultant's expertise is 0.015 and its direction is negative; Therefore, this hypothesis is not confirmed.According to the obtained data, the effect of self-disclosure on mutual relationship T-value= 799.56, the effect of self-disclosure on creative thinking T-value = 252.22, the effect of self-disclosure on problem solving skill T-value = 684.41 Value, the effect of self-disclosure on self-belief, T-Value = 862/55, the effect of self-disclosure on monitorability, T-Value = 228/56, the effect of self-disclosure on empathy, T-Value = 10/911, the effect of self-disclosure on learning from mistakes T-Value = 64.12, the effect of self-disclosure on privacy awareness T-Value = 118.20, the effect of self-disclosure on privacy risk T-Value = 23.5, the effect of self-disclosure on optimism T-Value = 113.19 and the effect of self-disclosure on effective listening T-Value = 15.407, which is outside the range [-1.96, 1.96]. And P-Value = 0, which is less than 0.05, rejects the H0 hypothesis and confirms the H1 hypothesis at the 95% confidence level. And on the other hand, the value of β, which shows the intensity and direction of the effect, is 0.818 in mutual communication, 0.626 in creative thinking, 0.771 in problem solving skill, 0.829 in self-belief, 0.82 in monitorability, in empathy is 0.419, learning from mistakes is 0.468, privacy awareness is 0.591, privacy risk is 0.214, optimism is 0.551, and effective listening is 0.54. Therefore, it is expected that if the research is repeated in a larger sample of the same community, this hypothesis will be confirmed.According to the findings, SRMR=0.062 is less than 0.08, so it can be concluded that the overall model has a good fit. The quality and fit status of the structural model resulting from the qualitative part of the research, which was one of the objectives of the quantitativepart,was also examined.In the present study, to calculate the goodness of fit (GOF), the average (R2) and (AVE) of the research components were extracted from smartpls software and included in the relevant formula.GOF = √ 0.628192308× 0.685423077 = 0.656.According to the obtained data and the calculation result of GOF = 0.656, it can be said: the research model has a very good fit.

School is the foundation to all existing structures in society. A teacher is one of the most important role of a society and the first adult person after parents that the way of communicating with them is very important and has a serious impact on the emotional and social performance of students in school. The effective communication between students and the teacher not only gives the teacher a lot of motivation, but also can lead to creativity, satisfaction, academic progress, and better behavior of students in school and society. And finally, it should lead to students and teacher's mental health and create a foundation for establishing beneficial social relationships of students throughout their lives.Self-disclosure is a process in which people verbally express their personal information or experiences to others. The school is one of the most important organized social institutions that by providing a healthy environment can cause the growth and prosperity of people's body and mind; This is shaped by students' relationships with teachers, counselors, and school administrators, as well as students' emotional growth, and self-disclosure develops this relationship.

In school management, strategic thinking has become a necessity. Undoubtedly, the strategic thinking of school principals empowers principals, provides them with the right training, and provides the necessary framework for expanding their insights and increasing their knowledge level. The purpose of this research was to study the strategic thinking of school principals and constructing and validating the scale for measuring it. The research method was mixed and carried out by exploratory (tool development plan) with sequential approach. In the qualitative section, a methodology based on grounded theory is used. In the quantitative part, the research method was descriptive-survey. The statistical population in qualitative section consisted of faculty members and PhD students of the department of educational management who were selected by non-probability and purposeful sampling method and in the quantitative section were school principals in Songhor in the academic year 1396-97. In this section, the whole census sampling method was used. Data were collected using qualitative part of semi-structured and in-depth interviews and quantitative part of researcher-made scale of 41 items. The validity and reliability of the instrument were evaluated in the qualitative section with the criterion of acceptability and capability. In the quantitative section, the content validity was confirmed by faculty members' opinion. The validity of the researcher-made scale construct was assessed by factor analysis and the internal consistency coefficient of the instrument was verified by Cronbach's alpha method before and after implementation. The data analysis method in qualitative section was the grounded theory method based on a forward-looking approach. The approach to the future took place in three steps of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The steps and process were categorized and analyzed with the help of Maxqda software. The data analysis method in quantitative part was exploratory factor analysis. In this section, Kaiser, Meyer and Alekin sampling adequacy index, Bartlett test, and principal component analysis by varimax method, Scree Chart and Pearson correlation coefficient were used in SPSS software. In the qualitative section, after analyzing the interviews, 178 open source codes were extracted. The open source codes were grouped together and reduced to 24 codes in the form of secondary codes and then 7 axial codes were compiled. Codes saturated in the twelfth interview and theoretical adequacy was obtained. The seven main themes of school principals' strategic thinking are: creative thinking with four concepts: intellectual independence, mental flexibility, challenging previous assumptions and continuous search for innovative ways; intelligent opportunity with three concepts: human resources improvement, finding new opportunities, giving importance and attention to ideas; futurism with six concepts: having an ideal vision, understanding the challenges and threats, visualizing the future impacts of technology, identifying future-appropriate needs, identifying recurring patterns, and subjective and practical flexibility to face future uncertainty; environmental Intelligence with three concepts: conversation with successful schools stakeholder analysis and attention to competitor performance; technological thinking with three concepts: understanding the need for multimedia; creating and strengthening a management information system and providing context for strengthening the research spirit; systematic thinking with three concepts: seeing the positive dimensions of different positions; understanding of learning and education relationships and understanding of all parts of the school in relation to each other; intuitive thinking with two concepts: understanding the mission of the educational institution and understanding the relationships between phenomena. After identifying the main categories of school principals' strategic thinking in the qualitative section, a number of items were considered for each of these categories and a 41-item scale was formulated and adjusted. The scale was set within the Likert spectrum and consisted of five options ranging from very high to very low, and was distributed and collected among school principals and entered the factor analysis phase. The findings showed that the Kieser-Meier-Alkin indices and the Bartlett test confirmed the prerequisites for exploratory factor analysis. The initial share table showed that all 41 items had variance above 0.5. Seven factors had a value greater than one and totaled 41 items representing 7 factors. The first factor had the highest share (19.57% with a specific value of 19.22). In total, all 7 factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 were able to account for about 68% of the variance in item-related items. The varimax-rotated factor matrix showed that the six items had the highest correlation with the third factor, the thirteen items had the highest correlation with the first factor, the five items had the highest correlation with the second factor, the five items had the highest correlation with the fourth factor, The four items had the highest correlation with the fifth factor, the four items had the highest correlation with the sixth factor, and the four items had the highest correlation with the seventh factor, considering the concept and direction of the items with creative thinking, foresight, technological thinking, system thinking, environmental intelligence, intelligent opportunity, and intuitive thinking were named. Each of the scale items had a correlation of more than 0.50 with a factor in which they were located and a correlation of less than 0.50 with the other factors, and none of the items had a high correlation with more than one factor. It was of divergent validity of the scale. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that all the components of the scale have a positive and significant relationship with each other. Also, each of the components with the whole scale has a positive and significant correlation. This result indicated the convergence of factors with the total score of the questionnaire. Internal consistency coefficients of the items and scale factors using Cronbach's alpha indicated that the calculated reliability coefficients were at satisfactory level (above 0.70) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was also 0.94 that Indicates appropriate scale reliability. Given the lack of a scale for school principals 'strategic thinking, it can be argued that with the designed components as an acceptable standard and criterion for measuring school principals' strategic thinking can be measured and at certain intervals based on these components, assessed the status of school principals’ strategic thinking and compared and analyzed the gap between the current and desired situation in schools.

The importance of geography is due to the description of the world around us although most of the subjects of it are intangible for the students, So one of the ways to solve this problem is using information technology to improve geography and its teaching and learning.

This study aimed at investigating the relationship between philosophic-mindedness (measured as comprehensiveness, penetration, and flexibility) and degree of creativity among faculty members of Islamic Azad University (IAU), Zanjan Branch. The population of the study was comprised of 440, out of which 210 were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected administering creativity and philosophic-mindedness questionnaire with validity indices of 0.81 and 0.80 respectively. Both descriptive and inferential statistics indices were applied to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicate that there is a significant relationship between philosophic-mindedness and the degree of creativity of the faculty members (p< 0.01). Also, there exist significant relationships between three indices of comprehensiveness, penetration, flexibility and degree of creativity. Applying t test, no significant relationship is found between philosophic-mindedness and the degree of creativity of the faculty members in humanities and basic sciences. Moreover, there is no significant relationship between male and female professors regarding their creativity (p< 0.05), whereas regarding their level of philosophic-mindedness, male exceeded female. Taking the indices of philosophic-mindedness into account, penetration shows a gender difference. That is, male professors present a more significant level of penetration than female while both were similar regarding other indices of comprehensiveness and flexibility.
