The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of representations in the problem solving performance of seventh grade students in solving word problems including proportional reasoning. The statistical population of this study included 8425 seventh grade students and the sample size was 269 people who were selected by convenience sampling method. The research was conducted by a mixed method. Data were collected through two tests taken from Lobato (2010), which were exactly the same in both tests; With the difference that in the second test, next to each task, visual or verbal representation was used. The content and face validity of the questions of both tests were confirmed by experts. To check the reliability, the halving method was used. Guttman coefficient was 0.913 in questions without representation and 0.840 in questions without representation, which has good reliability. Students' performance in solving proportional verbal problems in the second and third grade comprehension was examined and the results showed that most students comparatively multiply values and understand the effect of changing a value on the measured ratio. Also, the data were analyzed using paired t-test. Therefore, the desired effect of using representations in responding to these tasks was confirmed.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and stress inoculation training on academic emotions and social problem-solving of students with high social anxiety. The research design was a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and two-month follow-up, including a control group. The statistical population consisted of all 15 to 18-year-old students with social anxiety in Isfahan during the academic years 1400 and 1401. Through random sampling from the six educational districts of Isfahan, District 2 was selected, and eight high schools were randomly selected through multistage sampling. The Pakravan et al. (2002) Academic Emotion Questionnaire and the Dehghani et al. (2002) Social Problem-Solving Questionnaire were used as measurement tools, which were completed by the control and experimental groups before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS-24 software. The results showed that behavioral activation therapy had a stronger efficacy than stress inoculation training in improving social problem-solving and academic emotions of students aged 15 to 18 with social anxiety (p < 0.01). The effects of the interventions remained constant over time. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that behavioral activation therapy can be employed as a therapeutic intervention for enhancing social problem-solving and academic emotions in adolescents with social anxiety.

So applying these strategies can improve the ability to focus and solve problems in gifted students and improve the performance of these children in different areas of education and live.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of problem-solving skills in predicting mathematical motivation and mathematical self-efficacy in children with Special Learning Disorders such as mathematics in Tehran. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students with learning disabilities in the first year of elementary school in Tehran in the academic year 2020. For the research sample, 90 students with math learning disabilities were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected through Hepner Problem Solving Skills Questionnaires (1988), Usher & Pajares Mathematical Self-Efficacy (2009), Corter Mathematical Motivation (2005) and Iran Mathematical Test by K Matt Grenus, Naji Man and Pritchett (1976). The data obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires were analyzed by regression statistical method. Findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the components of problem-solving confidence, attitude-avoidance style and personal control with mathematical motivation and mathematical self-efficacy. The results of regression analysis also showed that problem solving skills are strong predictors of mathematical motivation and mathematical self-efficacy. Considering the role of problem-solving skills in creating and expressing mathematical motivation and mathematical self-efficacy in students with special learning disabilities such as math, it is possible to prevent math-specific learning disabilities by identifying them in a timely manner.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the content of elementary school textbooks based on decision-making and problem-solving skills. The method is descriptive and content analysis. The research community is all the books of the elementary education course (sixth grade) of the academic year 1399-99. The census sampling method was used and all primary school textbooks (41 volumes, 4947 pages) were reviewed and analyzed. The measurement tool was a researcher-made content analysis checklist whose validity was verified by experts and its reliability was verified by Scott method (89.5) and reproducibility technique (inter-coder reliability); Finally, the conceptual framework of the research was designed in the form of 2 skills and 10 indicators. Then, the data obtained from content analysis were analyzed in the form of descriptive statistics using the three steps of Shannon entropy. Decision-making and problem-solving skills are discussed 755 times in all pages of elementary school textbooks, of which; The highest attention with 403 frequency (53.4%) is related to "problem solving" skill and the lowest attention with 352 cases (46.6%) is related to "decision making" skill. In elementary school textbooks, the highest coefficient of importance is related to the skill of "decision making" (0.2221) and the lowest is related to the skill of "problem solving" with a coefficient of 0.502. The first grade has 5 book titles with a total of 64 times (8.5%); Second grade with 6 titles 92 (12.2%); Third, fourth and fifth grades with 7 titles, respectively 118 (15.6%); 134 (17.8%) and 128 times (17%) and the sixth grade with 9 titles, 219 times (29%) mentioned decision-making and problem-solving skills. The most attention to the total skills is related to the book "Mathematics" with 131 frequency (17.4%) and the least attention to "Quran teaching" with 80 frequency (10.6%). The book "Persian" in a total of six bases, 81 times; "Persian writing" 99; "Experimental Sciences" 105; "Teaching the Qur'an" 80; "Mathematics" 131; "Heavenly Gifts" 108 and "Social Studies" have dealt with these skills 102 times in total. Of these, the most attention was paid to the Persian book "Sixth" with 19 frequencies (23.5%) in the Persian book "Sixth" with 25 frequencies (25.2%) to the experimental sciences "Fourth" with 27 frequencies (25.8%) to the teaching of the Qur'an "Basic" "Fourth" with 21 frequencies (26.3%) in mathematics "sixth" with 39 frequencies (29.8%) in celestial gifts "fifth" with 39 frequencies (36.1%) in social studies "sixth" with 38 frequencies (37.3%). The most attention of Persian books, Persian writing, experimental sciences and mathematics to the problem of "problem solving" 51.9%; 59.6%; 63.8%; 62.6% and 51.9% and the most attention of Quran teaching books and social studies to the skill of "decision making" is 51.2% and 61.8%. The books "Thinking and Research and Work and Technology", which are taught only in the sixth grade, have taught decision-making and problem-solving skills 24 and 25 times, respectively; Their greatest focus has been on "decision-making" skills with 15 frequencies.We have to make decisions to take every step of life, the path of human life is determined by his decisions, but if a person does not have enough skills to make decisions, he will not be able to make decisions and as a result will endure conflicts and tensions or irrational decisions. And incorrectly, it will cause depression, anxiety and other discomforts (Ahanchian and Asavardi, 2015). In 2005, Scheckman et al. Found that decision-making skills training has a significant impact on the living environment and personal performance, and Tuttle stated in 2006 that life skills training in adolescents improves their decision-making abilities. Kurd Noghabi (2005) also said that from the point of view of students, teachers and education experts to develop a life skills curriculum; Decision-making skills in elementary school have high priorities. The coefficient obtained for this skill indicates the high importance of this component and is consistent with the mentioned researches. However, the findings of this study are in line with the results of Asadollahi et al. (2016) who stated that according to teachers, the sixth grade social education textbook pays more attention to decision making and Akbarzadeh Mirzanagh (2011) is not consistent.The results also show that out of a total of 755 frequency cases, 403 cases (53.4%) are dedicated to problem solving skills and the obtained importance coefficient is 0.1502 (second priority). Life is full of simple and complex issues. Students should practice how to solve the problem in school. If they have a problem in life or school, they know how to solve it (Harrington and Oliver, 2000). It is through learning to solve problems that children build their thinking skills. When children learn to solve problems with the confidence that They can easily make good decisions for themselves and solve their problems.When children do not have problem solving skills, they run away from the problem or problem and do not try to solve the problem, for example, a child whose age is ridiculed and does not know How he should deal with it will always escape from this problem, for example, he may hate school little by little, suffer from academic failure, and may want to run away from school under the pretext of headaches and pain, and so on.In this study, according to the obtained coefficient of importance, problem solving skills are in the second priority. The results of studies show that accurate problem solving has good consequences. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on teaching effective and positive coping skills. Beliges and Mous (1984, quoting Khosravi and Aghajani, 2003) found that centralized coping was less relevant to problem solving with severe abnormalities. Ohren and Gates (2002) and Gotholic (2004) focused on problem-solving skills training. The results of this study are in line with the findings of Ahmadi (2012) who stated that there is a difference between the level of attention of Persian books in the elementary school to each of the components of life skills training, so that problem solving skills are not the first priority. It is also consistent with the research of chivalry (2015) and El Masari et al. (2016) who stated that textbooks have paid enough attention to problem solving skills.In general, the most attention is paid to the total decision-making and problem-solving skills related to the book "Mathematics" with 131 frequencies (17.4%) and the least attention is related to the book "Teaching the Qur'an" with 80 frequencies (10.6%). Findings from the analysis show that textbooks teach life skills, but there is a difference between the level of attention paid to each component of life skills and in different textbooks.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent condition associated with impairment in educational functioning, professional position, and social relationships (Fabio and Caprì, 2015). The disorder is determined by three basic symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity (APA, 2013). The disorder is closely linked to a series of neuropsychological deficits such as executive functions, working memory, and cognitive processes.  Problem-solving is one of the areas in which ADHD students experience problems as a result of deficits in attention and working memory. Although normal developing children may easily learn problem-solving skills; Children with ADHD need help to learn these skills, and instruction must be provided in a controlled manner for this purpose. However, flexible learning environments in terms of content and presentation time can be helpfull to reduce the problems of these children. For example, the Attention of ADHD students can be improved when doing teacher-led homework, instead of independent tasks. However, due to the short range of attention, assignments should be presented in small pieces with just-in-time feedback on how to do it (Brock, Grove & Searls, 2010). Although the presence of a teacher and the provision of guidance can be a positive aspect of face-to-face education, the need to spend special guidance, and personalized instruction according to the needs of these children, requires another solution. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the intelligent pedagogical agent on complex problem-solving ability and duration of task engagement in students with attention deficit disorder in the e-learning environments.

Problem-solving is a valuable skill that can be improved by using a creative problem-solving training program(TRIZ). This concept can have positive academic and non-academic consequences for students and prepare them to face various challenges and problems.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the TRIZ program on problem-solving skills with an emphasis on the mediating roles of critical thinking and school belonging.

The research design was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and control group with a follow-up period in which 30 students were selected by the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The statistical population of the study included all sixth-grade elementary school girls in District 5 of Tehran in the academic year of 2019-2020. In three phases of pre-test, posttest, and follow-up, the groups answered Ricketts' critical thinking questionnaire, Cassidy-Long Problem-Solving Questionnaire, and students' sense of connectedness with school of Brew, Beatty, and Watt (2004). To analyze the data, the Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes Model was used in the form of partial least squares.

The results showed that the TRIZ program could promote critical thinking and school belonging directly as well as problem-solving skills indirectly. In sum, in the experimental model and follow-up model, path coefficients were identified as significant. The conceptual model of post-test research could explain 51% of the variance of school belonging, 41% of critical thinking variance as well as 56% of problem-solving skills.

These results indicate the importance and the impact of the TRIZ program in an educational environment that helps teachers for using it in an effective way in order to promote problem-solving skills, critical thinking and school Belonging

The target population of this study was the fifth grade male students of Qarchak city who were studying in the academic year of 98-99 and the selected samples were randomly assigned to 60 students in two control groups (30) and 30 people were tested. The research tools were used for multimedia training of Aria e-bag software and for understanding the concept (spatial, spatial and temporal) and solving the mathematical problem that the researcher had asked. The validity of this test was 0.744 through Cronbach's alpha and its validity was confirmed according to experts. Data analysis collected in the study was performed using SPSS software and using descriptive statistical methods of mean indices, standard deviation and in the inferential statistics section, covariance analysis method was used. The results show that there is a significant difference between the mean of post-test scores of the two control and experimental groups in the dependent variable of understanding the concept and solving the mathematical problem. This confirms the effective role of multimedia teaching on better understanding of mathematical concepts (spatial understanding, spatial understanding and temporal understanding) and solving math problems of fifth grade students.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of writing skills training on students’ intuitive learning style and problem solving based on MDP& MLP in Alborz Province. The research method was Quasi-experimental by using a two-group design with pre-test and post-test. Sample size was 120 students who were randomly selected as clusters from among a statistical population consisting of 4154 fifth-graders and 4237 sixth-graders in the academic year of 2017- 2018. Sixty students of sample group were randomly put in the experimental group and the others into the control group. First, both groups took the pre-test. The experimental group was trained in 10 sessions of writing skills training based on MDP& MLP and the control group was exposed to routine school education. Then both groups received post-test. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.90. The data were analyzed by SPSS software. The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the components of intuitive learning style and problem solving in both groups. There was also a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group (P≤0.01). Conclusion Teaching writing skills based on MDP& MLP has a positive and significant effect on the intuitive learning style and problem solving (P≤0.01). 

The main purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of teaching problem solving using drawing strategy on word problem Solving performance of seventh grade students. This study was fundamental in terms of purpose and in terms of implementation a quasi-experimental method using pre-test and post-test design with the control group. The number of students in the experimental group and the control group was 207 and 216, respectively. To determine reliability, in a implementation, the questions of both tests were performed on a sample of 30 students, and Cronbach's alpha of the pre-test questions was 0.81 and the post-test questions was 0.77, which was desired. Results showed that students usually use non-formal strategies to solve word problems. However, after learning the drawing strategy, they prefer to use this strategy rather  than problem-solving strategies. They also draw various shapes to solve problems. This means that the shapes are not unique, and students draw the shape according to their personal and previous experiences. In addition, using parametric t-test, the difference between the problem-solving performance of the experimental and control group students in the pre-test and post-test was significant, meaning that the experimental group students performed better in solving word problems.
