A questionnaire with 24 questions was used to measure the class silence and dissatisfaction with educational field. Data were analyzed in SPSS 16 software by Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis and Linear regression tests. Students were satisfied with their field and did not recognize themselves as silent persons in class. Dissatisfaction with educational field was effective on class silence (p=0.0001) and 0.227 of variability of silence was explained by dissatisfaction with educational field (p=0.0001). Dissatisfaction with educational field is effective on lack of student participation in the educational process and being silent in class.

Depression is one of the most common mental disorder and most often، the symptoms begin to emerge in adolescence and early youth. Students are in this age range. Since development of depression is associated with dramatic decrease in social، occupational، and educational functioning in the youth، the current study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of depression and its effective demographic variables among the medical students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2014. This descriptive، analytical، cross-sectional study was performed on 222 medical students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences who were selected through convenience sampling in 2014. The questionnaires of demographic information and Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) were used for data gathering. Student’s t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for data analysis by using SPSS software version 22. The results showed that 101 (45%) of the students were normal and 121 (55%) suffering from various degrees of depression، including 55 (24%) with mild depression، 56 (25. 2%) with moderate depression، 7 (3. 2%) with severe depression and 3 (1. 4%) very severe depression. There was no significant relationship between sex، marriage، native/non-native، habitat and depression. Also، one-way analysis of variance indicated no significant relationship between grade and depression (P=0. 268). The results showed that at least half of the subjects had some degrees of depression. Therefore، it is proposed that the programs are required to promote mental health of the students to reduce the psychological problems such as depression.

Students regulate their study approaches based on teacher evaluation practices. Current methods of evaluating the learners’ knowledge have shortcomings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the challenges of evaluation of learning of medical sciences universities’ students and the impact of these challenges on deliberate practice study approach. Instrument & This descriptive-survey research was performed in all undergraduate، master، and medical students (basic sciences stage) students of Hamedan University of Medical Sciences in 2014 and 357 students were selected by random sampling. Data were gathered using recognizing the challenges of evaluation of students and Deliberate Practice Study Approach questionnaires. Data analyses were done by descriptive statistics، factor analysis technique and Structural Equation Modeling using LISREL and SPSS 20 software. Challenges related to the lack of attention to individual differences (0. 81) had the highest and challenges related to the use of non-objective evaluation (0. 73) had the lowest loading factor. The effect of evaluation challenges on deliberate practice study approach was -0. 74 (p<0. 01). More tangible the educational experiences for students and be done in more interactive environment and in a way their individual differences and abilities be identified and recognized، their challenges in the current practices of evaluation of students are minimized، and affected Deliberate Practice Study Approach.

Many experts believe that critical thinking teaching is effective in social activities and especially interactions.
