The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training on academic self-regulation and self-expression of female high school students in Jolfa. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all female high school students in Jolfa city in the 99-98 academic year. Using purposive non-random sampling method, Savari and Arabzadeh (2013) educational self-regulatory questionnaires and Shrink (1980) expression scale were administered among students and among those in both questionnaires a standard deviation lower than Average scores were obtained. Thirty people were purposefully selected based on the entry and exit criteria and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups in equal proportions. The experimental group received training in the form of 8 sessions of mindfulness-based stress reduction training program, but the subjects in the control group did not receive any training. Then post-test was performed for both groups. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. Findings showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction training program significantly increased academic self-regulation (F = 0/110; P = 0.001) and increased assertiveness (F = 6/29; P = 0.001). According to the findings of the present study, mindfulness-based stress reduction training program can be used to increase academic self-regulation as well as increase assertiveness skills

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has emphasized valuing mathematics in the flow of life and developing the mind and thinking. All students should manage to communicate mathematically, reason mathematically, and have an appreciation for mathematics. This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting mathematics learning by students. The meta-synthesis technique presented by Sandelowski and Barroso in 2007 was first applied in 7 steps. In the first step, questions were designed, and in the second step, papers were searched through keywords concerning the questions. In the third step, 215 found papers were filtered and 61 papers concerning the questions were obtained using the critical appraisal skills programme (CASP). In the fourth and fifth steps, the codes were extracted and categorized by MAXQDA software, and in the sixth step, two documents were re-coded by a member of the expert panel to confirm the validity of the coding, and the Kappa coefficients for these two documents were 0.64 and 0.68, respectively. In the seventh step, the outputs of the software led to the development of a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed based on CVI and CVR, and its reliability was confirmed by the Delphi method in 3 steps by Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W). The standard deviation of experts' opinions was 0.856 in the first round, 0.8297 in the second round, and 0.7951 in the third round. Kendall's coefficients of concordance for these three steps were 0.5569, 0.6720, and 0.7900, indicating high concordance of experts' opinions. Finally, 17 sub-criteria and 6 main criteria for learning mathematics were identified by meta-synthesis technique and checking the opinions of experts in mathematics education.

Test anxiety is one of the most interesting variables that affect all academic matters. The purpose of this research is to investigate the causal relationship model between the components of emotional self-efficacy and exam anxiety with the mediation of positive and negative affect among the students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and compare the model. There were two groups of boys and girls. The statistical population of all undergraduate students was studying in 2019-1400, and 300 students (190 girls and 110 boys) were selected as a sample from among them using a multi-stage random method. The tools used in this research were emotional self-efficacy (ESES) of Beverly et al. (2008), Test Anxiety questionnaire (FTA) of Friedman and Bandaz-Jacob (1997) and Positive-negative affect Scale of (PANAS) Watson et al. 1998). The evaluation of the proposed model was done using structural equation modeling. The results showed that emotional self-efficacy has a negative correlation with test anxiety and negative affect, but the correlation of emotional self-efficacy with negative affect was not significant. Also, the correlation of test anxiety with positive affect and dimensions of emotional self-efficacy (recognition, understanding, regulation and facilitation) was positive and significant. Indirect results showed that emotional self-efficacy is significant to test anxiety through positive and negative affect in the entire sample (boys and girls). But the indirect relationship of emotional self-efficacy with test anxiety through negative affect in male students was not significant. Also, the results of the analysis of the multi-group model showed that despite the fact that the path graphs of girls and boys are the same, there is a significant difference between the two groups in terms of path coefficients.
