Management Education Model (MEM) in the process of its ten steps of teaching had been able to make its effectiveness in instructional and nurturing effects as an evidence through results from a serial of experimental researches. This research studied its effect on elementary 6th grade student's Meta Cognitive Learning (MCL) when it is used in teaching science. The type of research method was quasi-experimental using two groups designed with pre-test and post-test. As available samples four classes of Ibn Sina elementary boy’s school in Khoramdasht city (Alborz province) were chosen randomly with 36 students as experimental group. The other class with 36 students was control group. The experimental group was taught through using MEM and the control group was taught through the traditional method, both in six weeks. The tool for collecting data, was the section of Karami’s (2001) questionnaire with its validity and reliability confirmed through statistical methods. MCL with 37 items included components of knowledge and self-control, knowledge and curriculum control, knowledge and evaluation process control, and knowledge and regulating process control. The results of analysis of covariance (sig=0/01 & sig>0/05) by removing the effect of pretest showed a significant effect of MEM Compared to the traditional patterns in MCL on students. Finally, the result secured the suggestion that that science education with using MEM had a positive impact on Students meta cognitive learning.

The present study examined the effects of Action Research courses on professional skills of teachers in academic year 1386 – 1387 in Tehran. A randomly selected sample of 244 teachers participated in action research courses during 1383-86. Data were collected using a researcher- made questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Results showed that the effects of action research courses were significant on educational skills (M=85/4) and instructional skills (M=84/6). Significant difference was found between teachers with 10-20 years experience and others. Finally teachers with basic sciences background found the courses more effective compared to other participants.

Job turnover is one of the most important challenges of human resources management in all organizations, especially in educational systems. Educators and teachers’ moving or leaving (job) causes many direct (reemploying, education and ...) and indirect costs into education systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors related to educators’ tendency to job turnover. A mixed research methodology was adopted in this study. The population included HAMEDAN province educators (N= 614) employed in high and guidance schools from whom a sample of 344 educators was randomly selected. Data collection tools, comprised a Likert style questionnaire with 97 close ended questions and 2 open ended questions at the end of the questionnaire. This study sought to answer four fundamental questions: 1- how many educators want to transfer to the field of teaching, 2- What are the educator's most important reasons to leave their job? 3- Which factor is the most important in predicting the amount of tendency to job turnover? 4- What suggestions do educators have for promoting a more effective managing of affairs and problems? The results indicated that 45 percent of educators opt for transfer to teaching positions. Given a second chance only 39 percent would choose this job. Research results showed job involvement, age, organizational commitment, job characteristics (job motivation), job satisfaction and school facilities have meaningful (negative) relations with educators’ tendency to changing their job. Job characteristics were shown to be the most valid independent variable in predicting tendency to job turnover among educators. Content Analysis of the open ended questions, confirmed the results of quantitative data.

Nowadays Training and organizational investment on training is one of the most important programs and a major part of human resource management. Especially in defense sector and military organizations formal training courses are so important. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the status of educational activities of Shaheed Khezraie Air Training Center and its effect on educational efficiency of this center. This research based on research achievements is an applied developmental type and based on research objectives is a descriptive-case study. Data were gathered by survey method and analyzed by correlation method. The statistical population of the research is a collection of top-notch educational experts that using non-probabilistic sampling method (judgment), 50 people were selected. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by inferential statistics (variance analysis, correlation coefficient, multiple regression); the results of the research indicate that educational boarding activities (elementary combat training, language lessons and general and specialized courses), as well as cultural boarding activities affect educational efficiency. Also, educational boarding activities and cultural boarding activities have a mutually reinforcing effect.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between dimensions of learning schools with teachers’ job innovation and quality of educational activities. The research method is descriptive - correlational. Statistical population included all teachers of elementary schools in Hamedan province comprised of 6346 people, and the sample size of 362 subjects was determined based on the Cochran formula. The sampling method used was proportional stratified random sampling. Data collected using three questionnaires including Park’s learning schools (2006), Ettlie & O’Keefe’s innovation (1982) and Sanjari et al’s quality improvement of schools (1385). For appointment reliability, used Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, and estimated .92, .78 and .89 respectively. Results showed that level of learning schools components, teachers’ job innovation, and quality of educational activities was above the average one. In addition, there is a significant positive correlation between learning schools components with teachers’ job innovation, and quality of educational activities.

This research has been carried out with the aim of designing and developing a model for providing educational services to the children of martyrs, veterans and sacrificers as students in Iran. To achieve this goal, the grounded theory method was used. The research population included 1- all documents and instructions including Imām Khomeini's orders, the order of supreme leader of the revolution, the set of approvals of the supreme council of education, statutes of Shāhed schools, the statutes of the Shāhed and sacrificers' project, the comprehensive law of sacrificers, regulation of article 67 of the comprehensive law of service to sacrificers, manual for selection and organization of human resources for Shāhed schools, the sixth development plan of the country, educational instruction of Shāhed scattered plan and instruction of weekly program and educational working hours of Shāhed schools, 2. Theoretical foundations (researches, articles and books) and using as many researches, articles and books as possible, 3- Specialists, senior and middle managers, and hands-on workers. 70 people were selected as the research sample. To collect data in the document section as well as theoretical foundations, a documentary review checklist was used, and an interview form was used in the experts and practitioners' section.
