The purpose of this research was to formulate a model for the development of managers of the distance higher education system of Payam Noor University. As a descriptive study, a qualitative method based on Grounded Theory was applied. Participants included 11 managers who were distance education experts and managers of different departments of Payam Noor University. A semi-structured interview was conducted. After conducting the interview, the content analysis was carried out simultaneously. For the adequacy of the interview, after reaching theoretical saturation, the textual validation and review of the interviews were conducted by referring again to the participant experts' viewpoints. Coding and extracting the main and secondary categories and explaining and compiling the conceptual model were then carried out. To ensure validity and reliability, two methods of reviewing participants and reviewing non-participating experts were used in the research. The results indicated the social phenomenon of the current study of the model for the development of managers in the distance higher education system. 6 main dimensions, 18 sub-categories and 46 components were extracted, formulated and presented from the text of the interviews. Based on this, it is recommended that the managers of the national distance education system should take action to solve the causes and implement the strategies calculated from this model to achieve the desired results for managers in this higher education sub-system.

A strong link between education and research can result in better student learning and consequently, higher education growth and development. In this paper, we aimed to develop a communication-building curriculum for Iran's higher education. A qualitative and data-driven research design was used for this study. An extensive sample of experts and specialists in curriculum planning was selected based on the principles of theoretical saturation for Shahid Beheshti, Allameh Tabatabai, Amir Kabir, and Al Zahra Universities, using the purposeful sampling method to choose 13 as a sample. To collect data, a semi-structured interview was conducted. In order to analyze the collected data, Glazer's approach and continuous comparisons were employed, followed by open, selective, and theoretical coding. As per the results of the research, the final framework of the research emerged, comprising 13 main categories, 29 subcategories, and 96 concepts based on the central category of "education and research link". Findings indicated that the communicative curriculum framework includes elements, effective factors, and consequences, and each comprising several categories. The results of the research showed that the relationship between education and research in the communication curriculum based on the proposed framework will lead to the growth of educational and research activists, the development and dynamism of universities, the applicability of the curriculum, the development of the country in various dimensions and the expansion of knowledge horizons.

Among the most critical problems in students’ community is stigma against mental diseases; this issue will probably cause refusing treatments and more isolation. It threatens the relationships between students and community as a whole. Negative consequences like violence, depression, suicide, harm-related behaviors and so on are related to this social problem. This study has tried to collect and analyze the mechanisms and models used by the world's leading universities by examining their programs. This descriptive-analytical study examines pre-existing documents with a content-analytical method. This practical study focuses on existing documents; these documents are published in the form of texts in websites of universities. The statistical population is all the programs and strategies that have been used in universities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia in relation to the prevention and proper treatment of the stigma of mental health disorders. Based on this, about 127 related ideas were found and after refining them, 53 programs were finally selected. Findings showed that the main variables in the prevention and treatment of stigma of mental health disorders are awareness, behavior change, support network, student participation, mental health diagnosis solutions and software.

The success of a brand, particularly in the service sector, has been considered by many researchers. The purpose of this study was to identify the components of a successful brand and to validate the status of a successful brand in higher education. The method of this research was hybrid. The statistical community in the qualitative part included experts of the Technical and Vocational University. 10 people were selected using the snowball sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Content analysis and open coding method were used to analyze the data. In the quantitative part, the statistical population included the staff of Technical and Vocational University. First 17 experts were selected for analysis and then 67 university staff were selected as a sample by simple random sampling method. In order to analyze the data, the structural equation modeling approach with SmartPLS version 2 was used. Qualitative findings showed that a successful brand consists of the categories of university image, costs and finances, university services and facilities, out-of-university advertising and communication, educational planning and success, and university position. Path analysis findings showed that the factor load of the questions related to each variable was higher than the standard, so the questions could explain the relevant variables well. Statistical t also showed that there was a significant relationship between the questions and the relevant variables. The findings illustrated that the greatest gap between the current and favorable situation was related to the categories of university credibility, university partnership with society, perception of individuals and society of the name of the university and the quality of education.

The main purpose of this research was to identify the components of the Professor Toxic in higher education, which was carried out with the approach of research synthesis and qualitative meta-synthesis method using the seven-step method of Sandelowski and Barroso. By searching the English databases of Scopus, Emerald, ProQuest, Science Direct, Springer, and Eric, and Persian databases including the National Publications Database and Jihad Universities Scientific Information Database, 141 related studies were extracted between 2000 and 2022. After screening the studies and using the "CASP" methodology, 62 studies remained, and their results combined. This resulted in the extraction of 32 effective factors in defining teacher toxicity and classification of these components into 4 main categories: negative characteristics and behaviors, causes and factors of toxicity, strategies of toxic teachers, and consequences of toxicity. Therefore, by identifying the toxic components of the professor in higher education, the current research provides a basis for making future decisions by those involved in the higher education system.

The current research aimed to reconsider the requirements and characteristics of technical and vocational universities; the future research model in the field of educational management was examined to create a desirable future because in the qualitative development of educational systems, the need to use progressive educational management in the context of its abstract events is one of the structural principles. For this purpose, the qualitative method was simultaneously used with reviewing and analyzing some parallel future research documents based on a systematic understanding of events, trends, images and actions, with the approach of foundational data theory and the three stages of coding (open, central and selective). In this approach, interviews with 18 experts and specialists in the field were conducted and using purposive sampling (theoretical saturation after conducting 18 interviews) was carried out at the Technical and Vocational University. The structure of the interviews was semi-structured in depth, which was confirmed both in terms of formal validity and reliability. In this way, the present research was arranged prospectively and in terms of data, it was exploratory (qualitative) with analysis of the network of themes in a cross-sectional survey method.   Relying on the structural, content and contextual three-pronged model used in the research, the results showed that the future research model expected in the educational management of the Technical and Vocational University in the shadow of policies and strategies such as the value-oriented and market-oriented university model by adopting a support-oriented approach to innovation, while promoting the capacity of adaptability to efficiency, involved the reform of organizational affairs, educational needs assessment and employment orientation (marketing) in the structural field. In the conceptual and content field, the model university should include the reform of management affairs and reflect on organizational culture and human capital management. Finally, in the field of context, reforming the social and cultural perspective was prioritized in addition to strengthening the economic and technological roles.

Although access to higher education has increased significantly in most countries, these opportunities have not been equally distributed among different groups in many cases. The current research intended to analyze how indigenous selection in national entrance exams reproduces inequality in access to higher education. The research method was descriptive-analytical. The research data was based on the statistics collected and published by the organizations related to the population or student admission, which were analyzed by the secondary analysis method. The findings indicated that the policy of indigenous selection was unsuccessful in increasing the access chances of deprived provinces. The provinces with the highest and the lowest access chances maintained their position without any changes during the 5-year study period in the present research. In addition, in many provinces, the academic level of candidates was not a determining factor in their acceptance; in the national entrance exam of 2016, Kurdistan and Gilan provinces candidates' academic ranks were 10 and 22 while their ranks in the final admission changed to 27 and 6, respectively. Finally, the indigenous selection policy in the three most popular fields of medicine did not lead to a fair distribution of opportunity but reproduced inequality significantly. In some cases, the acceptance chance of indigenous candidates in their provinces was eight times that of the indigenous candidates of other provinces.

Lack of attention to global knowledge and developments, the absence of inclusive participation of academics and criticism of curriculum have caused concerns among policymakers in educational systems. In addition, social responsibility is an important indicator of social capital, which is of special importance in higher education. The goal of this study was to explain effective factors in skills curriculum based on social responsibility. In this applied research, through descriptive-analytical and survey methods, a questionnaire was randomly distributed among 216 influential managers and policymakers in skills curriculum based on social responsibility to collect data based on Cochran's formula. Analysis via SPSS and SMARTPLS software showed that out of fifty-two items in the questionnaire, factor analysis revealed eleven factors affecting the curriculum. According to the obtained coefficients, the most important items were curriculum assessment system (0.243), appropriate discourse in curriculum (0.204) as well as curriculum definition, importance and necessity (1.96). In fitting the measurement models, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of each factor was >0.7 and the combined reliability coefficient was also >0.7. The mean of extracted variances for convergent validity analysis was >0.4 with SRMR equal to 0.072, which is an acceptable value for the model.

The aim of this study was to analyze the laws, regulations and upstream documents in the field of higher education from the perspective of scientific cooperation. This descriptive – analytical research used content analysis and documentary study as the research strategy. In the current study, upstream documents and regulations were analyzed and considered the research sample. Data collection tools included checklists and researcher-made forms. Descriptive analysis methods were used for data analyses, investigating alignments regarding scientific collaborations. The results indicated that a great number of upstream documents support different kinds of scientific cooperation and are aligned with scientific cooperation but do not have the necessary executive guarantee.  The official documents that support scientific cooperation but do not have the necessary executive guarantee are Comprehensive Scientific Map of Iran, Islamic-Iranian Model of Progress, and the 2025 Horizon of IRAN. In contrast, another document has significant role in the activities of faculty members and has an executive guarantee and the power of punishment and rewards. Nevertheless, it sometimes plays as a barrier for scientific collaborations. In other words, it is not very compatible with teamwork and scientific cooperation.

Higher education is influenced by globalization having a profound effect on all levels and dimensions of higher education. Judging architectural designs is one of the current issues in higher education. Criteria that can be used to measure designs are old concerns in the field of architecture. By knowing how to judge architectural projects in the world's leading universities, it is possible to quantitatively and qualitatively develop higher education in architecture. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the effects of globalization of higher education on education and judging architectural projects. The research method was mixed (quantitative-qualitative). Data was collected using the method of classification and arrangement of documents, after which their content was analyzed and propositions that represent the educational and judgmental characteristics of the world university were extracted. In order to get acquainted with the methods of judging architectural designs in Iranian universities, the Delphi technique was used. Data was collected through questionnaires and open interviews with professors of architecture at the departments of Architecture at prominent Iranian universities. The findings showed that the effects of globalization on the teaching and judging of architectural designs can be divided into two categories of indicators related to the design process, which included curriculum, students, faculty members, international cooperation, budget, and new electronic communication systems. Criteria for final evaluation included jury, student defense, presentation, and analysis of information. The results showed that the globalization of architectural project judging will lead to intensification of university competitions, upgrading of educational standards, improvement in the quality of education and judging of architectural projects.

The aim of this research was to develop a conceptual model of Lancaster and Kurt Rail Higher Education Branding. The research approach was based on deductive qualitative content analysis. The research population included experts at Sharif University of Technology. Using purposive sampling method, 32 people were selected as the research sample. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Data coding technique was used to analyze the data. The Lancaster and Kurt Rail branding models have three concepts of identity, purpose and response, each of which includes three main categories or core, real and added value. The concept of identity includes a set of signs, symbols and branding slogans. The concept of purpose includes the products, services and products, requirements and marketing of the university. The concept of response means interpreting the market performance of university brand products and services in the market. Based on the research findings, the developed branding model of the university had two stages of brand equity creation planning and brand equity measurement. The concepts of identity and purpose were intended for the planning process. Planning included all the strategies used in the preparation and implementation of the branding planning process of Sharif University of Technology. The planning stage included the variables of naming, location, logo, main and supporting missions, staff, professors, products and services, students, marketing and graduates. In the following sections of this paper, the main and pivotal strategies of the mentioned variables are presented. The concept of response is intended to measure the performance of the university brand. Measuring the specific value of the university brand is a set of measures that provide the final value of the university brand in internal and external dimensions by providing special dimensions and variables. The stage of measuring the brand equity of the university included the basic variables of measuring the brand equity of external and internal dimensions. Scientific credibility, reputation, students' feelings and loyalty were considered external infrastructure strategies while empowerment and efficiency, graduates, student services, infrastructure and financial dimensions were considered internal infrastructure strategies. Finally, the number of extract points to measure the university's brand equity were presented.

Today, the rapid increase in the cost of higher education and its quality and reduced public support for universities and higher educational institutions around the world on the one hand and rapid technological advances and the needs of economic systems for scientific knowledge ,on the other hand, academic system is converted into knowledge industry.. Increased productivity at universities is dependent upon the amount of research and development done which in terms of theoretical principles is called institutional research. In recent decades, the most important Iran’s economic problem has been low investment in the creation of knowledge and promotion of productivity. It is desirable for Iran’s universities to become knowledge based. So IR is the most suitable approach to achieve this goal. While the unit of Institutional Research of the world's most prestigious universities is created to strengthen university-industry collaboration, , it has been neglected in Iran’s universities. This research attempts to explain the concept of IR and identify the methods which can be implemented through the study of theoretical principles and Delphi technique.

Higher education in Iran has faced with two important challenges after Islamic revolution. Firestone is the historical underdevelopment in quantitative expansion of higher education and the second is rapid population growth, which caused high demand for enhancement of higher education. Of course, other factors such as cultural context and lack of job opportunities for secondary school graduates had also have played important role in demand for providing more places for university applicants. This situation caused the quantitative expansion of higher education to be considered as the first priority of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Foundation of Payame-Nour University (distance learning), private higher education institutions, Islamic Azad University, e-learning courses, evening courses and joint diplomas with International universities were among higher education policies in recent years. As a result students’ population increased from 150,000 in 1978 to 3,500,000 in 2008. In Particular, increase in the post graduate studies, besides human resources development caused a great advancement in the research status of the country. There is no doubt that quantitative expansion of higher education in Iran is one of the most glorious achievements after the revolution, but at the same time along with expansion of students’ population and diversification of higher education systems particular ,in private sector, the quality of higher education should be of main concern for policy makers in this sector. This paper would review the most important challenges of higher education as the roles of total quality management systems encounter the involved factors
