The purpose of this research was to examine the role of blended learning on human resource development in Payam Noor University (PNU). This study used a descriptive survey design. The population consisted of 3700 PNU faculty members in 2017-2018. Using stratified sampling and based on Krejcie and Morgan’s table, 302 faculty members were selected as the sample. The data were collected using two questionnaires: the Blended Learning Questionnaire with five subscales (i.e., pedagogy, methodology, technology, learning styles, and organizational strategy), 40 items, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.903; the Human Resource Development Questionnaire with five subscales (i.e., knowledge, attitude, skill, critical thinking, and job satisfaction), 39 items, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.893. The hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation modeling were used by SPSS 21 to analyze the data. The results showed that blended learning has a significant effect on all the dimensions of human resource development at the 0.05 significance level: knowledge (0.573), attitude (0.510), job satisfaction (0.362), critical thinking (0.351), and skill (0.241). Several fitness indicators suggested that the model fit the data well (𝜒2/𝑑𝑓 = 1.05; GFI = 0.97; AGFI = 0.93; RMSEA = 0.0029; critical value = 0.38321). Thus, there was a causal relationship between blended learning and human resource development.

The aim of this present study was to investigate the effect of blended learning on students' mental health, academic motivation and academic engagement. This research was an applied research in terms of its purpose and a descriptive semi-experimental research in terms of implementation. From the statistical population of 721 students of Payam Noor Khalkhal University in the academic year of 2023-2024, using the purposeful sampling method, based on the Kerlinger formula, 60 people were randomly divided into two groups of 30 people, an experimental group and an alternative control group were replaced. The tools used include teaching the combined teaching method; Erikson and Nanon's mental health (2018); Harter's academic motivation (1981) and Zarang's academic engagement (2011). Covariance analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that combined training on interaction, hetagogy, pedagogy, Technology and has an effect on mental health (p<0.01). The effect of combined training on external motivation and internal motivation was also positive and significant. Also, the results of the effect of combined training on motivational involvement, cognitive involvement, behavioral involvement and academic engagement (p< 0.01) were also positive and significant. The final result is that, if the combined education approach as an effective external educational factor based on multimedia, hypertexts, hyperlinks, mocks, podcasts and metaverse is well assessed, designed, implemented and evaluated; It will increase the satisfaction, competence, trust in personal beliefs and participation of learners, which will eventually lead to mental health, academic motivation and academic involvement of learners respectively.

The present study aimed to investigat the relationship between blended learning and feeling of rejection with academic performance in Payam Noor University students with the mediating role of academic enthusiasm. The research was done descriptively and survey. The statistical population was 743 students of Khalkhal Payam Noor University that 248 people were selected as a sample using available sampling method and with the help of Morgan's table. To collect the data, Amand et al’s blended education made-researcher and   feeling of rejection (2020) and Wang et al’s academic enthusiasm (2011) questionnaires, and the students’ grades at the end of the academic semester were used. Correlation coefficient was used to explain the relationships between variables and structural equations were used for modeling.  Initial finding showed the correlation coefficient between belended education and academic enthusiasm with academic performance (0.369. and 0.386) with a positive relationship, but between belended education and feeling of rejection with academic performance (-0.212) with a negative relationship. The findings of the structural analysis also showed the positive effect of belended education with the mediating role of academic enthusiasm on academic performance (β= 0.37), but the negative effect of the feeling of rejection with the mediating role of academic enthusiasm on academic performance (β= -0.28). The final result was that blended education along with academic enthusiasm as a mediating factor reduced the negative effects of feeling of rejiection on students’academic performance.

E-learning and blended education as new educational approaches due to the use of new technologies and the application of interaction in the education process and the two structures of academic engagement and academic well-being are important as motivating factors for learning. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the independent,interactive and adjusting relationships between electronic and blended approaches,academic engagement and academic well-being with the academic performance of students in the distance education system. In this experimental study based on three educational waves in the form of theoretical, practical and theoretical-practical education, among 220 people in the statistical population, using stratified random sampling method and based on Morgan and Krejcie table, 140 people were selected as a sample. To conduct the research, a researcher-made questionnaire of electronic- blended approach and a standardized questionnaire of academic engagement and academic well-being, along with academic performance in the form of scores of three tests were used. Correlation test was used for communication and step wise regression was used to explain. There was a relationship between electronic-blended approach, academic engagement (behavioral component) and academic well-being with academic performance in the first wave. In the second and third waves and in the form of interactive relationships, the blended approach had a positive relationship with academic engagement, academic well-being and academic performance compared to the electronic approach; But in the form of adjustment, it was negative.Therefore, multimedia and hypertext and had a greater effect on academic engagement, academic well-being and academic performance.

The study aimed to compare attachment style, happiness and anxiety of students adolescent with epilepsy and Non-epileptic.

Its design was descriptive and casual-comparative. The population consisted of all high school and guidance students 12 to 18 years old in 2016-2017. 48 (24 students with epilepsy and 24 Non-epileptic) students were selected via purposive sampling. The data were collected by attachment style, happiness and anxiety Questionnaire and analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance.

The results showed there are significant differences between the students with epilepsy and non-epileptic students in the happiness (p<0/05). There was nosignificant differencebetween thetwogroupsin terms ofanxiety.

So students with epilepsy in terms of happiness were poorer and more in dire situation. The risk of epileptic seizures can Influence adolescent happiness. Also increase anxiety and attachment disorders in people with epilepsy. It seems that epileptic adolescents need more attention of health assistants, especially those of mental health field.

The purpose of this analytical review is to discuss the methodological and philosophical foundations of distance education. In recent years, distance education has solved many of the problems of traditional education through the use of communication technology, new interaction experiences, learner autonomy, and lack of time and space limitation. On the other hand, constructivism can be considered as the methodological foundation and Existentialism as the philosophical foundation of this type of education. In addition, during five generations of its growth and development, distance education has passed the periods of correspondence education, education through media, computer-based education, multimedia education, and finally electronic education. Now, it possesses solid theoretical foundations, including theories of independent study, industrialization of education, transactional distance, and control in the teaching-learning process.
