Objectives and questions:

 In recent years, interest and support for a type of measurement that is less common has been aroused, and that is original measurement. The original measurement is different in its form and implementation, but it is not different from the common forms of measurement, density and formation measurement that are used today. Authentic assessment focuses and relies on the existence of connections between the real world outside the school and the school environment itself. Authentic assessment is an assessment task that has value and meaning for the student beyond the grade obtained. Authentic assessment is a concept popularized by among others that students engage in the use and application of skills and knowledge to address real-world problems or potential situations and give the assignment a sense of authenticity. With the concept of authentic measurement, its tools and types, there is a need to conduct research in this regard, considering the novelty of its concepts. The purpose of the current research is to develop and validate two questionnaires on the extent of teachers' use of authentic assessment and teachers' perception of authentic assessment. Therefore, the following research questions have been raised: 1) what is the level of perception of high school teachers about the concept of authentic assessment? 2) What is the rate of use of the principles of authentic assessment by high school teachers? 3) What difference do demographic variables such as gender, teaching experience, level of education, service area, and type of employment make in teachers' perception or use of the concept and principles of authentic assessment?

In this research, a quantitative research approach with a survey strategy was used. The statistical population consists of all teachers of the theoretical second secondary level (certain formal, formal experimental, contract and teaching rights) working in the dual education and training areas of Sanandaj city in the academic year 1401-1400. The sample people in this research were selected by two-stage cluster sampling method, so that in the first stage, 20 schools were randomly selected as a cluster out of 83 secondary schools, and then they were randomly selected from this school according to the number of their teachers, in order to estimate the sample size of Cochran's formula was used, and the number of 200 subjects was determined. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics methods were used to analyze the quantitative data collected by questionnaire. In the descriptive statistics section, the frequency and percentage as well as statistical indicators such as mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, maximum and skewness coefficient have been used, and in the inferential statistics section, the one-sample mean test using Student's t-distribution, comparison test The average of two independent groups was used using Student's t distribution and the comparison test of the average of several independent groups was used using one-way analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient test.Data collection tools: To collect data from two questionnaires created by the researcher under the headings A- Questionnaire on the extent of teachers' use of authentic assessment and exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis method with Varimax rotation, and the results of the above table show that 8 factors have special value There are more than one, the highest eigenvalue is equal to 14.62 and the lowest eigenvalue is 1.08. The first factor accounts for 28.66% of the variance and the eighth factor accounts for 2.12% of the variance, and eight factors together account for 68.56% of the variance of the questionnaire. B- The teachers' perception questionnaire was used in the classroom. Two methods of test-retest and Cronbach's alpha have been used for reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was performed using principal component analysis with varimax rotation. The results show that 7 factors have an eigenvalue greater than one, the highest eigenvalue is 11.22 and the lowest eigenvalue is 1.09. The first factor accounts for 28.78% of the variance and the seventh factor accounts for 1.092% of the variance, and eight factors together account for 70.75% of the variance of the questionnaire.

 The level of perception of high school teachers about the concept of authentic assessment was more than average and with the findings of the researches that expressed the attitude and understanding of teachers about authentic assessment, it is significant. The amount of use of the selected sample teachers of authentic assessment principles was also more than average and it was in line with the findings of previous researches, he reached the conclusion in his study in Indonesia that the use of authentic assessment among teachers is more than average.

The obtained results indicated that the level of perception and use of authentic assessment of male and female teachers was equal, that is, gender had no effect on it. The results of this finding are also in line with the results of previous findings which showed that gender has no effect on teachers' perception and use of authentic assessment. The level of perception and the amount of use of authentic assessment was also the same in the teachers of district one and two of Sanandaj city, which indicates that the district did not affect the level of perception and the amount of use of authentic assessment. The level of teachers' perception and use of authentic assessment was equal in teachers with associate, bachelor, master and doctorate degrees and teachers with different employment methods. That is, the educational qualification and type of employment of teachers did not affect the level of perception and the amount of use of authentic assessment. In the examination of the work experience of the teachers, the result is that there is no significant linear relationship between the work experience of the teachers and the level of perception and the amount of use of authentic assessment, that is, the amount of work experience of the teachers did not affect the level of perception and the amount of use of authentic assessment. The results of this finding are also in line with previous researches that stated that work history and experience have no effect on professors' attitude and use of authentic assessment.

The present study was conducted with the aim of "Perception of Arak University faculty members from virtual education in the period of Covid-19 19". In terms of purpose, it is applied and with a qualitative approach of phenomenological type. Potential participants in the present study were all faculty members of Arak University who participated in the present study using the saturation method of 21 people and the questions were asked through semi-structured interviews in approximately 32 to 70 minutes. Data were analyzed using content analysis technique. The content analysis of the interview data resulted in 164 basic themes, 14 second stage organizing themes, 5 first stage organizing themes and 1 comprehensive theme, based on which was the life experience of Arak University professors from virtual education during the prevalence period. Virtual education as an opportunity, lack of technical-social context required for virtual education, insufficient preparation of teachers, reduced quality of education and negative psychological consequences. According to the obtained results, it can be stated that Corona pandemic on the one hand has increased the skills and educational experience of all stakeholders and on the other hand has caused physical and psychological injuries; Therefore, according to the themes discovered from the lived experience of the faculty members of Arak University, it is possible to provide virtual education in a qualitative manner.

the aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between teachers' perception of synergistic leadership style and innovative performance with the mediating role of job self-efficacy and job independence. The type of research was descriptive-correlational, and the statistical population consisted of 3327 teachers in Kashan city that by using Morgan's table and stratified random sampling method 337 people were selected as a sample. The research tool included four questionnaires of synergistic leadership (Yousof Boroujerdi et al, 2021), innovative performance (Scott & Bruce, 1994), job independence (Zare Ahmadabadi et al, 2018) and job self-efficacy (Wilk & Moynihan, 2005). The reliability of the questionnaires was estimated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.99 for synergistic leadership, 0.89 for innovative performance, 0.96 for job independence, and 0.88 for job self-efficacy. In order to analyze the data, statistical software such as SPSS and Smart Pls were used at the descriptive & inferential levels. The results showed that the mean of all four variables of synergistic leadership, innovative performance, job independence and job self-efficacy was above average. Path coefficients showed synergistic leadership with (Beta=0.14, P=0.003), job independence with (Beta=0.575, P=0.001) and job self-efficacy with (Beta= 0.28, P= 0.001) has a positive and significant effect on teachers' innovative performance. Therefore, it can be concluded that if teachers have a positive perception of synergistic leadership, they will have more job independence and self-efficacy. The synergistic leadership by increasing job independence and self-efficacy can help to increase and improve the innovative behavior of teachers.

Stakeholders’ knowledge is one of the essential elements of biodiversity management. This research assesses local communities’ knowledge and its impact on the perceived biodiversity loss in the Sorkhabad Protected Area of the Zanjan Province using a quantitative (descriptive-correlational) methodology. A sample of 250 out of all rural households dependent on the protected area (N = 5095) was identified using Cochran's formula as the sample size who were selected by a multi-stage random sampling technique. The results showed that the respondents' knowledge about the ecosystem services and the challenges of biodiversity was at high and moderate levels, respectively. The results of regression analysis showed that the variables of knowledge about ecosystem provisioning services, knowledge about the impact of human factors related to unsustainable local community activities on biodiversity, knowledge about the impact of poor community livelihood conditions on biodiversity, knowledge about the impact of factors related to ineffective intervention conditions on biodiversity and knowledge about the impact of natural hazards to biodiversity accounts for 52 percent of the variance of perceived biodiversity loss in the protected areas.

Concerning the legislative role of members of parliament in Iran, the present paper aimed to identify factors affecting their perception during passing laws through a behavioral approach. Sampling was carried out via judgmental method and was continued till reaching saturation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parliament member. The answers to interview questions in addition to documents such as negotiation proceedings were analyzed. Employing grounded theory, codes, concepts and categories were obtained as a result of data analysis. Five propositions were obtained after linking three categories at selective coding stage. Data analysis found personality, education, experience, personal feelings, emotions and feelings as individual factors affecting perception of MPs. Perceptions, the main category of research consists of direct and indirect perception as two subcategories and sense making, sense breaking, and sense giving as its concepts.

This research was conducted to identify student-teachers perceptions of the goals and duties of the Farhangian University Council in Bushehr province in Iran.
Research

The research method in this study is qualitative. For this purpose, 24 faculty managers, professors and student-teachers were selected using the targeted sampling method. To identify the categories of student teachers' perception of the goals and duties of the union council, the components of student-teacher perception of the goals and duties of the union council were identified and extracted from the method of thematic analysis. The research tool was a semi-structured interview that continued until saturation.

Finally, 5 components were coded, analyzed and drawn as a network of themes using Stirling's Atriad method. The validity of the research was obtained by using the auditing technique by the referee. To calculate reliability, coding was done by reading the interviews conducted line by line manually in two stages and after the completion of coding, the results of these two codings were compared with each other. The reliability rate of recoding was 85.7. After coding and data analysis, 50 basic themes were extracted. From these basic themes, 11 organizing themes and finally four inclusive themes including: "perceptual skills", "management and organizational structure of the university", "participation in efforts" and "ethical attitudes" which form the model of student teachers' perception of the goals and duties of the Union Council of Farhangian University were identified.

It is very important to pay attention to the dynamic life in teacher training universities, to consider the internal perceptual characteristics of people such as desires, to participate in the pursuit of student rights, to strengthen cooperation spaces, to try to identify the plan and eliminate the union defects of students, to respect them and the participation of teachers in Welfare affairs, physical education and educational services are among the things that are related to the issue of their perception and maintenance.

The purpose of this research was teachers' perception of how the primary school curriculum reflects the multicultural phenomenon.

Qualitative research method, qualitative case study and potential participants included 20 teachers of education.The sampling approach was purposeful and the method of sampling key experts. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation was reached. The research tool was not a structured interview.

He discovered two overarching themes of cultural gap competence, development of multicultural awareness, as well as ten organizing themes and fifty-one basic themes about teachers' perception of how the primary school curriculum reflects the multicultural phenomenon.

One of the characteristics of culture is that it can be learned, and in order to prevent its destruction, it is important to transfer it from one generation to another. Education and especially teachers play an important role in transferring culture in the correct way and choosing appropriate cultural elements. Cultural independence and cultural reconstruction of each country are affected. In fact, today's teacher has a cultural responsibility in the society.

The first version of the multifaceted fluid intelligence test for children (MMFIT) was conducted with the aim of building and standardizing different dimensions of fluid intelligence in 7–9-year-old students. The theoretical basis of this test is Kattle-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory and Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence (2021).

The current research method was descriptive and exploratory in terms of mixed method and fundamental in terms of purpose. For this purpose, 621 students from non-profit schools of 5 educational districts of Tehran, 5 districts of Tehran (1, 3, 6, 5, 18) including northern, central, southern, eastern and western regions using cluster random sampling method. They were selected step by step.

Structural equation modeling, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of exploratory factor analysis using spss 23 and lisrel software on 130 final questions, a 6-factor model including knowledge (general, personality, emotional, social, cultural, managerial, economic, spiritual, sports and technical), perception (form of context, shape recognition, visual completion and perceptual sequence), reasoning (visual, maze, matrix and mental calculations), attention (one-dimensional, multi-dimensional and geometric), memory (visual, auditory and numerical) and processing speed (visual processing, It showed the symbols, letter sequence. Structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis using lisrel software also confirmed the fit of the 6-factor measurement model. Cronbach's alpha coefficients showed that these factors had good reliability.

By using this test, students' different abilities can be identified, with appropriate training to the identified abilities, they provide the necessary ground for the flourishing of students' talents and academic progress, and provide the path to a happy life.

The purpose of this study is to identify and explain the effectiveness of educational and interpretive programs offered to tourists in the Miankaleh Protected Area. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical based on survey. The method of data collection was through questionnaires and interviews. The statistical population of this study includes tourists who visited Miankaleh region in the form of tours in autumn and winter and benefited from educational and commentary programs. Also, based on the Cochran sampling formula, the sample size was 250 tourists and the sampling method in this study was simple random. The collected data were analyzed by one-sample t-test and correlation statistical tests. The results of this study indicate that the training and interpretation services provided to tourists by the local tour guide have a favorable effect on knowledge, attitude and short behavior. It has had a long-term and long-term environmental environment for tourists, so that the one-sample t-test confirms the average above the average of the above variables and its significant difference with the average, at the alpha level of less than 5%. . On the other hand, there was a significant direct correlation between the variables of knowledge promotion, strengthening environmental attitudes and environmental behaviors of tourists. Therefore, the educational and interpretive programs provided by the tour guide have played a very important role in improving the level of knowledge, strengthening environmental attitudes and positive short-term and long-term environmental behaviors.

This study was developed to analyze the effectiveness of play in childrenchr('39')s participation. The research method in the present study is applied and survey. In this regard, in order to collect data, field observations, questionnaires, and site visits are used. The sampling method was randomly completed using Cochranchr('39')s formula and a questionnaire was completed by 92 children aged 7-12 years. Data analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of symbolic, educational and collective games and childrenchr('39')s participation in childrenchr('39')s perception in Sajjad neighborhood of Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi province using a combined method using two types of quantitative and qualitative data with a sequential approach. In data analysis to evaluate the effect of role play in participation after data collection, the data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kolmogorov-Smirnov hypothesis test and the significance level of the indicators using Spearman correlation. Cronbachchr('39')s alpha was used to evaluate the reliability, which indicates a reliability coefficient of 0.924. In the analysis of qualitative data, childrenchr('39')s drawings have been examined. The results of the study indicate that the use of appropriate contexts for childrenchr('39')s play has a significant impact on childrenchr('39')s participation. Differences in childrenchr('39')s age groups make a difference in how important they are to environmental qualities. The age group of 7-9 years old is interested in painting and playing games and pays attention to facilities and equipment, sense of place and participation, while the age group of 10-12 years old is more interested in painting, singing and playing ball, and they They pay attention to identity and diversity in urban spaces

The goal of this research is to teach computerized mathematical concepts to improve visual-spatial perception in students. We also compare this method's effectiveness with classic methods on improving visual-spatial perception.The method of doing this research is semi-experimental using pretest and posttest with the control group. In this research, the population is the second and third grade students studying in public schools of Tehran in 2016-2017. The sample of this research includes 45 students who were selected by random sampling with random replacement methods. 15 students among these 45 were placed in a software training experimental group; 15 students were placed in classic training experimental group, and 15 students were placed in the control group. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Shapiro Wilk, independent t-test, and covariance were used to analyze the data. Frostig  test for visual-spatial perception was the tool for gathering data in this research. Covariance analysis results proved that visual-spatial adjusted averages of the electronic group with the difference control of 22.93 shows a number which is significant at .001 level. After summing these conclusions up, it can be stated that this hypothesis has been proved and training through educational program of teaching computerized mathematical concepts could be effective in improving students’ visual-spatial perception. It should also be noted that comparing Frostig adjusted averages between classic group and educational program group shows a difference of 11.130 which is significant at .001 level. In these differences, educational program group's average is always more than the classic group's average.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of learning environment perception's dimensions (contextual), dimension of self-regulation (cognitive-motivational) and social anxiety (cognitive-emotional) in learning second language. This research was descriptive (correlation). The statistical population of the study included all high school female students in Yazd in the academic year of 1396-97. Participants of the study included 305 third year high school students who were selected based on Cochran formula and cluster random sampling. Ryan and Connel's self-regulation scale, Watson's and Freid's social anxiety, and Fraser and et.al learning environment perception scale were used to measure the research variables. The results of step by step regression revealed that among components of learning environment perceptions, student's affiliation, justice and student's involvement, and among the dimensions of academic self-regulation, external regulation and identification predicted learning the second language positively and social anxiety predicted learning the second language negatively. Overall, findings of this study indicated that positive perception of learning environment, the promotion of self-regulation and the reduction of social anxiety of students through the creation of intimate and uncompetitive atmosphere could increase second language learning.

If professional competencies were of any importance in any educational environment, they would be clearly and emphatically covered in teacher training and in-service training programs in that environment, leading to a common perception among both working teachers and student-teachers. To explore this situation here in Kordestan, a group of 16 student-teachers and 15 working teachers were interviewed in a semi-structured manner. Data analyses led to the identification of themes and their classification across both groups. Comparison of the two sets of data reveals that the student-teachers perceive professional competency to be having a teacher’s characteristics, professional preparedness, response to the changing environmental demands, and the ability in interacting and communicating with others positively. The other group, on the other hand, perceive competency as being able to impact the environment and the potential beneficiaries, knowledge and ability to communicate positively, appearing in multiple roles, and abiding by the professional principles.

Schools are faced with a variety of new challenges in the modern era. Cultural and socioeconomic developments, the increasing costs of financing schools, poorly-motivated teachers, the increasing harms caused by students’ free access to information and communication technologies and students’ inadequate academic motivation are issues that stress the important mission of the principal as the main element involved in realizing educational objectives. Given emerging paradigms such as increased school autonomy and the need for accountability, the school leadership is globally considered one of the main aspects contributing to the progress of schools. Attention to school principals’ managerial competencies and their development is an inescapable necessity, and failure to address these competencies in selecting principals leads to the loss of enormous financial and human resources as well as the dissatisfaction of the teachers and parents. The definitions of competency can be summarized in three groups. The first group refers to visible functions that focus on the results or completion of tasks, and specific functions have therefore been defined as competencies that form the basis for the individual’s performance evaluation, supervision and judgement. The second group regards competencies as quality standards for the individual's performance output and associates competencies with workplace efficiency or productivity. Competency is thus defined as visible standards or performances within the organizational context. The third group defines competencies as inherent personal attributes such as knowledge, skills and tendencies to perform competently. However, in recent decades, there has been a growing consensus in the field of human resources that introduces managerial competency as the set of related knowledge, ability, skills, and other characteristics. Other research results show that the concept of managerial competency that includes knowledge and skills, along with other characteristics, such as attitude, behaviors, work habits, abilities, and personality traits, is more widely supported Research

The present study was conducted to explain the psychological competencies of the school principal and determine the causal relationships between them by combining the Delphi and Dematel fuzzy methods. The present research is an applied study in terms of objective and nature, since its results can be directly used by the education system to identify, evaluate and select competent individuals for the role of school principal, and since there is little knowledge about the phenomenon under study, i.e. management competencies in the education system. The goal is to collect data as they are, and the quantitative part of the study makes it a descriptive research in terms of data collection. The qualitative part of the study is based on the grounded theory method and provides the foundation of knowledge required for modeling. Since the initial data are collected and thematized through interviews, and the FD questionnaire is developed and implemented according to these themes, the present research is considered a mixed study (quantitative and qualitative). Since the interviews were initially held to develop a competency measurement tool (questionnaire), and supplementary data are only then collected using the questionnaire, the study is considered exploratory in design. A competency model should be consistent with the philosophical principles governing the society, the national and organizational culture and the strategic objectives of the school, and provide the bases for its key functions, processes and activities. The review of literature and the assessment of various theories showed Boyatzis’ theory (2008) as the most suitable for classifying school principals’ competencies. First, according to the research literature, the main criteria were extracted and the pre-model was developed. To determine the sub-criteria and modify the pre-model, a sample of 25 experts from universities across the country were selected by the Network Sampling method, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and 26 sub-criteria were determined. For secondary screening and the implementation of the sub-criteria, a questionnaire with Likert scale was prepared. A sample of 150 school principals was selected based on the targeted sampling method and the questionnaire was provided to them. The results of the questionnaire, using the Delphi technique and fuzzy approach, were analyzed and a hierarchical structure related to the psychological competency criteria including 10 sub-criteria was developed. Finally, eight experts from the university were be asked to use the Fuzzy Dematel Questionnaire and the causal relationships between the sub criteria of psychological competence were determined.

The research data were analyzed in MAXQDA, SPSS, EXCEL and AMOS. By studying the literature a number of subsidiary criteria for each major criterion were extracted, with regards to transparency in the subsidiary criteria of competency, the ability to measure and assess, the ability to transform into behavioral indices, the non-overlapping between the sub-criteria and the attention to the cultural. The results showed that variables of accountability, critique, self-control, decision-making skills, self-esteem and flexibility, are causality and job satisfaction, creative thinking, positive thinking, and systemic thinking are effect  Variables. Managers often overlook these competencies, perhaps due to the false belief that personal skills are inherent and cannot be changed. Some of these skills are inherent, but most can be changed and learnt. Psychological competency accompany people in both their work life and private life and act as a steppingstone for the emergence and development and considerable improvement of other competencies. This study presented a smart yet simple model based on human thoughts. Within the framework of a reliable theory of managerial competency and using an acceptable and scientific approach with the fuzzy logic, the present study provided a new method of presenting criteria for the selection of a competent manager. This model was also designed according to the theoretical principles of management science and the views of academic experts as well as the experiences of education experts to fill the gap between the experience and the science of education management. Each academic research faces barriers and limitations, and the current research is no exception. Fuzzy logic is a method that is not created for more than a few decades. The birth and formation of this method was in the industry and its penetration in human science studies has occurred with a delay. The lack of consensus and the agreement of professionals and experts in fuzzy logic in some fields and the lack of impressive number of researches carried out in this way in educational sciences has been one of the most important limitations of this research. It is possible to add the unfamiliarity of the subjects to the questionnaires used in this method.

Teacher’s knowledge and attitudes about the curriculum shape their beliefs, and these beliefs affect their self-efficacy in teaching. This study seeks to examine the perceptions and attitudes of teachers toward Work and Technology Curriculum. These teachers already taught vocational courses. The present research is a case study and the participants include 13 head-group teachers from 11 provinces across the Iran. These teachers were connected through a telegram communication network group. The data collection instrument was individual interviews and group discussions, which were analyzed within qualitative method. In general, 17 themes in 4 categories were obtained that included: mission (cognition of vocation and technique, students’ interests, computer, work, boredom, competencies); learning experiences (technology as activity, technology for development, craftworks, creativity and entrepreneurship, challenge and problem solving); content source (workshop activity, systems analysis and both of sources); emotions and attitudes (expectations of support, teaching profession identity, resistance, self-efficacy). These findings indicate to a lack of vision among head-teachers toward new curriculum, facing unpredicted situations, and they are unwilling for changes which would cause uncertainty.

In all countries, teaching is among highly important jobs and for this reason, motivations to become a teacher have received various research attention. To provide a systematic framework for studying teaching motivations based on expectancy-value theory, Watt and Richardson developed the FIT-Choice model and scale. In this study, after examining the reliability and construct validity of this scale, motivations and perceptions of 175 of freshmen at Shahid Beheshti Campus of Mashhad were studied. Results showed holiness of teaching which has not been taken into account in FIT-Choice model had the highest mean and it was followed by social utility values including making social contribution, shape future of children/adolescents, and intrinsic career value, ability, and prior teaching and learning experiences. Personal utility value of job security was also among the important motivations, but other personal utility values such as time for family were at lower levels. Moreover, although students viewed teaching a difficult, ill-paid job, which requires expertise, they were satisfied with their choice of teaching. Results also show that the motivations and perceptions of Iranian student teachers are similar to the motivations of student and novice teachers in other countries where FIT-Choice model has been used. Another finding was that students of science majors had lower motivations and perceptions compared to the students of humanities. The results indicate the necessity of maintaining and improving the motivations of student teachers and planning so that motivations of science and math high school students for becoming teachers are also improved.

The present research was conducted to compare the self-perception and sleep problems among the students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disability (LD) and normal students. The participants of this comparative study were students of 5thgrade of normal schools in 2013 in Parsabad city. Sixty students (20 ADHD, 20LD & 20 normal) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected through Conners’squestionnaire, CSHQ, CLDQ and SPPC and analyzed through the multiple analyses of variance (MANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) post hoc tests. Results showed that students with LD have significant difficulty in scholastic competence, social acceptance, behavioral conduct, physical appearance and global self-worth in comparison with normal students. ADHD students have significant difficulty in social acceptance and behavioral conduct in comparison with normal students. ADHD group out performed the normal students in terms of athletic competence. ADHD and LD students obtained higher scores in sleep problems in comparison with normal group. Findings under score the importance of effective management and training of self-perception and sleep for LD and ADHD students.
