Organizational culture is a set of assumptions, including values and beliefs that the employees of the organization discover and develop when confronting issues in order to achieve internal unity and cohesion. The purpose of this study was to analyze and present a conceptual model of organizational culture components in Iranian non-governmental schools.

After studying articles and books related to organizational culture, and conducting in-depth qualitative interviews and performing a systematic process of recording and analyzing data, the components of organizational culture were identified using the Delphi method. The sampling method was stratified purposive and the statistical population of the study consisted of 15 experts (professors and experts) in the field of organizational culture who were interviewed through snowball method until the theoretical saturation of the data was achieved in order to prevent dispersal of opinions.

It included 7 main categories (educational system; school principal's leadership style; teachers' professional culture; students' culture; community and family culture; educational equipment and space and textbook content) and 58 sub-categories of organizational culture in non-governmental schools.

The results of this study indicated that in Iranian non-governmental schools, the presence of a capable principal who is familiar with the components of organizational culture can cause the emergence of creativity and new educational ideas and optimal implementation of educational tasks in accordance with regulations and instructions, while establishing friendly relations among employees and emphasizing teamwork.

One of the important priorities of Iran's educational society is the academic progress of students. The purpose of the current research is to design an educational model to reduce academic burnout in female secondary school students.

The research method of the current study is a documentary method (systematic review). The statistical population of the current study includes all articles related to academic burnout that were published in Iran between 2011 and 2021.

After reviewing articles related to academic burnout in the second year of high school in girls, 27 related intervention articles were analyzed as a sample. The educational package to reduce academic burnout was designed in 10 sessions (4 general goals, 10 specific goals, home practice and specific practical and strategic implementation methods). The design of the educational package was developed based on cognitive skills, stress management skills, academic skills and communication skills to reduce academic burnout. The content validity of the educational package was checked and confirmed by 12 experts in the field of psychology using the content validity questionnaire.

The final form was prepared and prepared for training in the meetings. It is suggested that educational counselors, psychologists, schools and educational institutions use the educational package to reduce academic burnout in their programs.

The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral education on academic resilience and mental health of secondary school female students in district two of Shiraz city.

The design of the experimental research was pre-test, post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the present study will include all female students of the second secondary school in district two of Shiraz city. The sample size was selected using the stage cluster random sampling method, in such a way that one school was selected from among the high schools of that district and two classes were randomly determined from that school and randomly selected and divided into two experimental groups (30 people) and Control (30 people) were replaced. These people were assessed through the distribution of Samuels' Academic Resilience Questionnaire and Goldberg and Hiller's General Health Assessment Questionnaire. For data analysis, descriptive statistical indices (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics indices such as analysis of covariance were used to examine research variables and hypotheses.

There is a significant difference between the academic resilience of the experimental and control groups in the post-test stage, and there is also a significant difference between the mental health of the experimental and control groups in the post-test stage.

The results showed that cognitive behavioral training has a significant positive effect on academic resilience. The results of covariance analysis show that cognitive behavioral training is effective on students' mental health.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between humor of manager and organizational evolution with respect to the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation and the happy child ego state of employees.

The statistical population in this study is 197 employees of Education department of West Azerbaijan Province who were selected by available sampling method. This descriptive study was applied in terms of purpose and was done with a survey method. In order to analyze the data, the partial least squares method and Smart PLS 2 software were used. A standard 36-question questionnaire based on an ordinal scale and a five-point Likert scale was used to collect data. The findings indicate that measurement tools have good validity and Cronbach's alpha coefficient is more than 0.7 for all research structures.

The results indicate that humor of manager has a positive and significant effect on the evolution of the organization. There is also a positive and significant effect between the variables of humor of manager and entrepreneurial orientation and happy child ego state. Also, the entrepreneurial orientation and happy child ego state of the employees have a positive and significant effect on the evolution of the organization. Finally, it can be said that happy child ego state plays a mediating role between humor of manager and organizational evolution, but the entrepreneurial orientation does not play a mediating role between these two variables.

Nowadays, different styles of humor are used in different organizations, and since hierarchical models are used with high formality in the education system, it seems that the models of humor can be effective in achieving desirable mental states, entrepreneurship and organizational evolution.

Play is a part of human life from birth to death. Man needs thinking for his mental and social development and play is the basis of thinking. Therefore, purposeful planning of the game can be used to increase the functions of the mind. In fact, researchers have discovered the potential cause of games to support learning, and have found that games have a positive effect on learning and mind function. The aim of this study was to integrate the research conducted in the field of the effect of games on mental functions and also to achieve a general result based on scattered results using statistical methods.

The present study was conducted by meta-analysis method and with a systematic review of research conducted in this field. The statistical population includes 23 studies on the effect of games on mental functions that have been conducted over the past two decades. The total statistical sample size of the studies conducted in this meta-analysis is 1631 people, 100% of which included both sexes. In this study, the data was analyzed using a meta-analysis method and CMA software.

The findings of this meta-analysis indicated that the effect size of mental and real games on the mental function of consciousness and creativity has the greatest effect with the value of 0.653 and other mental functions are respectively language and memory with an effect size of 0.409 and thoughts, perceptions and imaginations with an effect size of 0.345, which get the least effect from mental and real games.

The results of the present study indicated that both mental and real games are effective in increasing the mental functions of the citizens. Therefore, considering the importance of this issue, it seems that by playing these games, you can influence mental functions and provide success and increase these functions.

The aim of this study was to investigate and identify the challenges of pedagogy and to design a diagram of the relationship between these challenges in the new e-learning ecosystem.

This study was a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted with a survey strategy. To achieve the purpose of the study, all high school students in district 2, Baharestan, Tehran city were considered as the statistical population. The required number of samples was first calculated using the Cochran's formula as equal to 384 people. Then the samples were identified using simple multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, the validity of which was first confirmed in consultation with experts in the field of education, then with the help of factor analysis (kmo=0.920, p<.000). Its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha as equal to 0.894 at a very good level. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Amos software and frequency table statistics, factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis, path analysis and structural equation modeling.

As a result of data analysis, it was found that pedagogy in the virtual ecosystem is influenced by the indicators of the educational process, teaching and educational evaluation. The educational process index directly and indirectly explains the pedagogic changes in the virtual ecosystem. The teaching index indirectly explains these changes, but the educational evaluation index only directly explains the pedagogic changes in the virtual ecosystem.

Human resources are one of the best criteria for measuring effectiveness of the educational system in educational centers; therefore, the aim of this study was to design and explain the model for measuring the effectiveness of the educational system based on human resource strategies in Farhangian University of Ilam.

The current research was conducted using a mixed (quantitative-qualitative) method. In the qualitative part, first, extensive library studies and reviews were conducted on the subject and existing models of the effectiveness of training courses, and then a basic model was conceptually designed to measure the effectiveness. In order to test the validity and reliability of the primary model, it was discussed with many academic and educational experts and exploratory interviews were conducted, and in order to identify the components, dimensions and indicators effective, several interviews were held during different stages. The statistical population of the research includes trainers and teachers of education, education experts and academic experts of Farhangian University of Ilam, among which 38 people were selected through available sampling method.

This model had three dimensions of input, process dimension and output dimension. Input dimension includes 8 components and 33 indicators.The process dimension consisted of 1 component and 4 indicators and the output dimension consisted of 1 component and 4 indicators.The model obtained from data analysis includes 10 components of goal setting and planning, course content of educational facilities and equipment, financial resources, learners, educational needs assessment, experts and executive agents, reviewing the characteristics of instructors and trainers, how to implement training courses and performance and the result. The results of the Friedman's test also indicated that among the indicators related to the educational effectiveness, the component of reviewing the characteristics of instructors and trainers, and educational evaluation has the first and second ranks and the last ranks are related to the indicators of financial resources and educational facilities and equipment.

The best way to measure the effectiveness of the educational system is through measuring human resources, and this model has three input dimensions, process dimension and output dimension.

This study was conducted with the aim of developing, validation, reliability, and normalization of moral behavior scale among adolescents.

The study was carried out in two phases. In the first phase (qualitative part), the existing theoretical foundations of moral behaviors were studied and categorized by the use of the content analysis method. In the second phase (the quantitative part), based on the findings of content analysis, a 35-items scale was developed to measure two identified factors called negative and positive behaviors. The research method was descriptive-correlational, and the statistical population included all adolescents of Hamedan in the academic year of 2021-2022. The sample size included 1093 people who were randomly selected through multi-stage cluster sampling method, and they completed the researcher-made scale. To examine the validity of the scale, exploratory factor analysis, content validity method, and concurrent validity, and to investigate the reliability of the scale Cronbach alpha were used.

The results of exploratory factor analysis specified 2 factors named negative and positive behaviors.The estimated Cronbach alpha reliability coefficients for the whole scale was 0.862, and  subscales  of negative and positive behaviors were 0.918, 0.920 respectively. Normative information of this scale is also reported.

According to the results, moral behavior scale has suitable validity and reliability, and can be used in various organizations.
