Future libraries may be significantly different from what is currently observed. The concept of a "smart library" could serve as a new and appropriate name for them. A smart library is an option to stay in the game and defend the essential assets of the library in the future smart society. The aim of the present study is to explore the dimensions and components of smart libraries by examining and analyzing texts in the field of smart libraries.

This qualitative research was conducted using the meta-synthesis method based on the seven-step model of Sandelowski and Barroso. Relevant scientific articles and publications on smart libraries were searched in reputable scientific databases without time and language restrictions, and a total of 1800 articles were retrieved. After removing duplicate titles and irrelevant articles, 194 articles were finally analyzed to identify the dimensions and components of smart libraries. Content analysis of texts was also performed using the MAXQDA software.

A total of 4336 codes were identified based on the content analysis of 194 articles. The identified codes were categorized into 8 dimensions and 76 components. These dimensions include technology, services, people, resources, space, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation and creativity.

Although technology serves as the main factor and infrastructure of smart libraries, attention should be paid to other dimensions such as services, people, space, resources, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation, and creativity in the design of smart libraries. However, it should be noted that in the design and implementation of a smart library, attention should be paid to the existing needs, facilities, equipment, and budget required. Each library may have different needs and resources that need to be considered. Therefore, the implementation of smart libraries requires a multidimensional approach that encompasses various key components.

The user experience is at a higher level than the user interface. Nielsen's checklist recommended in 1994, consists of ten factors, one of which is aesthetics, but the dimensions of beauty in the web environment, after thirty years, remain unknown and have not been accurately interpreted. The present study was designed in order to reduce the mentioned ambiguity. The current research aims to identify the aesthetic components of "one website" based on Leibniz's theory and rank them based on the importance of the criteria. Proposing a conceptual framework for the ''aesthetics of one website'', is done.

In this study, the systematic review method of meta-synthesis with Shannon's qualitative content analysis approach was used. A targeting keyword search was conducted in six databases: Google Scholar, Emerald, Web of Science, IRANDOC, ISC, and SID. The numbers of 1110 sources were retrieved. Then, the numbers of 64 documents were selected for meta synthesis study, according to the PRISMA statement. Leibniz's theory of aesthetics and two studies, aesthetic factors from Lavie and Tractinsky (2004) and website analysis from Guo and Hall (2009) used as the basis of qualitative coding. Then, for each aesthetic code identified, the importance coefficient was calculated based on Shannon's qualitative content analysis method introduced by Azar (2000). The mentioned method looks at each code in the sources as an exchanged message, and the resources are the interviewees or experts who answered the research question.

The number of 2 categories 4 concepts and 75 aesthetic codes were obtained by performing meta synthesis. Two general levels of "objective aesthetics" and "subjective aesthetics" were obtained as the main categories of website beauty. The subjective level is related to the user and his perception (subject) and the objective level is related to the website design (object). Two main concepts were obtained for each category including "semantic aesthetics" and "classical aesthetics". The coefficient of importance for the codes of "typography" and "order" in the concept of classical aesthetics and the category of objective aesthetics were ranked first and second. In the category of subjective aesthetics, based on priority, the codes of "having an attractive color combination", "easy navigation" and "moderate visual complexity " in the concept of classical aesthetics, were obtained at the top of importance. The numbers of forty-three aesthetic codes for a website were identified with an importance coefficient greater than zero. A conceptual framework based on Leibniz, proposing for ''aesthetics of one website''. A number of 43 codes with an importance coefficient greater than zero were identified, which were ranked from 1 to 16. The other 32 codes (out of a total of 75 identified codes) that had a zero Shannon entropy significance coefficient (the number of 1 repetition in previous studies) were placed in the 17th rank of Shannon's significance. The top 12 codes, in order of priority, were "observance of typography techniques in website content design", "orderliness and cleanliness of website content", "observance of symmetry in website content design", "non-visual complexity", "attractive website color combination" From the point of view of the web user's mind", "Unity in website content design", "Easy navigation in website content from the standpoint of the web user's mind", "Observance of the organization through order and sequence and compliance with hierarchy during website design", "Complexity in Average limit (not too little and not too much) from the website user'sstandpoint", "Arousing the feeling of richness and variety from the website user's standpoint", "Website design with the approach of having a variety website content ", "Attractive and interesting And the non-boringness of the website from the standpoint of the web user". Adherence to the Gestalt principle, and adherence to the golden ratio in website design, are among the other identified codes.

It is appropriate for website administrators to pay attention to both the objective and subjective aspects of aesthetics to promote users. Several types of research have been conducted on the aesthetic factors of a website. But research such as the current one, which combines previous studies with a meta-synthesis approach and coding by Shannon’s entropy, is the first in Iran and also at the international level. In this field, interdisciplinary cooperation in the fields of computer sciences and social sciences is recommended.

When employees leave a company or organization, they take all their knowledge with them, and if there is no plan to preserve that knowledge before the employee leaves, the organization will face knowledge loss. This is when a company or organization no longer has access to the knowledge previously had. Today's organizations face the serious challenge of employee knowledge loss, which is often undocumented and requires a lot of time to regain through training and experience. Therefore, the present research was conducted to identify and familiarize with the reasons, consequences, methods of measurement and strategies to prevent or reduce the knowledge loss. Since no study has been done in Persian texts in this field, the present study analyzed the papers related to the topic of knowledge loss and extracted and discussed the categories considered in the purpose of the research. Knowledge loss is closely related to work flow and aging and consequently retirement. Its consequences sometimes lead to irreparable risks or lead to heavy costs. Evaluating and calculating this risk in order to prevent it is one of the important measures in the field of knowledge management and risk management; therefore, based on the conducted studies, methods have been proposed to measure the amount of knowledge loss, which are: the network approach and the use of social network analysis, a graphic approach and the use of information or knowledge mapping, an engineering approach, the approach of creating a risk map to identify knowledge forces and try to preserve their knowledge, and finally, checking the level of job sensitivity and predicting time for evaluation. Despite the risks of knowledge loss; if correct preventive strategies are used, suitable opportunities for knowledge retention can be created. Building the institutional repositories, identifying key employees, different methods of documentation, establishing a knowledge management system are among these strategies. In discussing the knowledge loss, the value that employees create in each field and the conditions that arise after they leave the organization become important. The present study, by identifying the causes and consequences of knowledge loss and methods of evaluating and calculating this organizational threat, along with introducing preventive strategies that focus on knowledge preservation, created a general perspective on the issue of knowledge loss that can inform organizations about it.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of digital literacy with the mediating role of technology acceptance on e-learning among the librarians of Payam Noor University.

The research method is descriptive-correlation with the statistical population including all the librarians of Payam Noor University libraries in the number of 318 people, using the sampling table of Gorjesi and Morgan (1970), the number of 175 people was determined and selected by simple random sampling method. The data collection tools were standard e-learning questionnaires by Watkins et al. (2004), digital literacy by Rodriguez et al. (2016) and technology acceptance by Davis (2000).

They showed that the investigation of the assumed relative mediation of technology adoption in the effect of digital literacy on the electronic learning of Payam Noor University librarians has a good fit with the data. In addition, in the assumed model, all the correlation coefficients and path coefficients of the model were statistically significant, and digital literacy has a positive and direct significant effect on the electronic learning of Payam Noor University librarians with the effect of 0.126 through the mediation of technology acceptance.

The results showed that digital literacy has a direct and mediating role of technology acceptance on e-learning among librarians of Payam Noor University. Therefore, the components of technology acceptance and digital literacy are among the effective explanations for electronic learning among librarians.

Education and awareness is the first step to encourage students to use native search engines; But to convert this group into permanent users of these search engines, measures must be taken.

This research is applied in terms of its purpose and has been done with qualitative approach and exploratory case study method. The statistical population of the study is female students of the eighth grade of one of the schools in Tabriz city. Out of 108 students in the eighth grade, 16 students were selected through purposive sampling for this study. In this research, two steps were taken to collect data, the first step included holding an educational workshop to familiarize students with the Parsijoo search engine.

the preventive factors mentioned by the students are: The inadequacy of teachers, universality and extensive advertisement of foreign search engines, the shortcomings and weaknesses of the Parsijoo search engine, such as unsuccessful retrieval, problems with image retrieval, the inability to share photos and videos, the lack of a Gif section, and weaknesses in the translation service; Lack of awareness, including the unawareness of the existence of the Parsijoo software, unawareness of changing the browser's default search engine, unawareness of the difference between search engines, and the unawareness of the existence of a Parsijoo's custom plugin. The strategies students have made to solve these problems are divided into three parts: Improve performance and practice with user suggestions, including enhancements to the features of the translation service, the ability to share photos and videos, customize user feedback, improve performance in image retrieval, provide English version, and provide various software; Informing and notifying about the participation of schools in introducing, introducing by academics, introducing in textbooks; and extensive advertising that includes mouth-to-mouth advertising, advertising in the media and cyberspace, and holding a contest for users.

Parsijoo is a native search engine and in recovery, it focuses more on Persian documents and files, but users are only interested in using one search engine and expect the search engine they use to meet their needs in every way. Unsuccessful recoveries can lead to users' dissatisfaction with Parsijoo's performance. The Parsijoo application can be downloaded and used in different ways, the simplest and easiest way is the Parsijoo home page. This application named "mobile application" is placed on the first page of Parsijoo search engine, which users can easily download and use through their mobile phones. Unfortunately, users' lack of attention and lack of knowledge about this issue has caused them to consider the lack of an application as one of the problems of this search engine. Quick and easy access to the search engine is one of the things that is important for users; Because it speeds up the search. Users always want to do their search in the shortest time and get the desired result quickly. This can be achieved by setting the default search engine in browsers. Every user can do this on his computer through browser settings. Parsijoo search engine has explained the default method of placing Parsijoo in the browser to facilitate the work for users on its home page; But the lack of awareness of users about this issue has made them face problems in this field. The aim of most of the researches conducted in the field of search engines is to improve the services and performance of search engines in various aspects. Improving the performance of the "Parsijoo" search engine was the topic that the students proposed as a solution.

Information anxiety is one of the emerging challenges of human life, which has emerged and expanded with the development of rhizomatic thinking under the shadow of post-structuralist thinking. Information anxiety actually comes from the growing gap between the amount of available information and our ability to process and understand it, and this type of anxiety is fundamentally different from concepts such as library anxiety and internet anxiety. The aim of the present research is to presenting the information anxiety management model of students of Tabriz University based on grounded theory approach.

The research method is qualitative content analysis, based on grounded theory approach, and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used. The statistical sample included 18 students of Tabriz University, and the sampling continued until the theoretical data saturation stage. The analysis was done through manual coding inspired by Glaser's theory, and after extracting the primary and core codes of related categories, extraction and pattern design was done.

Based on the findings of the research, in open coding there are 367 primary codes, in axial coding there are 59 core codes and in selective coding there are 23 core categories in the form of causal, contextual, intervening conditions, strategies/actions, results and the main phenomenon (management information anxiety) were classified.

Considering the growth and spread of information anxiety among students, by using this model, it is possible to control and manage students' information anxiety and keep them away from its possible harm.

Indigenous knowledge on agriculture in Iran depends on the biodiversity of various agricultural and garden plants, and the climate of each region. To introduce different indigenous species and cultivars that have been identified by agricultural researchers and provide the possibility of searching and retrieving various properties of these cultivars and the suitable cultivation area in Iran, IranAgriOnt was designed and due to the nature of indigenous knowledge on agriculture, for the design, video retrieval was considered. The present study has created the ontology of cultivars of agricultural and horticultural plants of Iran with the aim of using ontology in organizing the Indigenous Knowledge on Agriculture in Iran. In the design of this ontology for the purpose of vide retrieval, its related properties and relationships have been created. Among the extensive of indigenous agriculture knowledge due to the importance of biodiversity of plant species, This study identified the concepts and properties related to agricultural and horticultural cultivars in different regions of Iran. The ontology was designed using the content analysis. The ontology was assessed using qualitative assessment based on the criteria determined by the experts. To describe the visual properties of the video, MPEG7 has been used. IranAgriOnt is designed by Protege 5.5 and consists of three main parts: class, property and individual. For ontology design, the videos and written sources of indigenous knowledge on agriculture were searched and analyzed. next the concepts in the texts and videos and the relationships between them were identified. Sampling at this stage was purposive and continued until saturation was reached. The concepts, properties and relationships obtained were compared with the concepts found in the agricultural ontologies, thesaurus books and ontologies studied in the subject domain and video ontologies to select the correct concept and term. The classes, sub-classes and properties of objects and to some extent the properties of detected data related to video retrieval were adapted to MPEG7 and they were presented to the agricultural experts. After many trials and errors and holding numerous group or two-person meetings (subject expert, computer experts and researcher) of the classes and properties approved by the subject experts were arranged in order and the ontology obtained. Individuals were first entered the Excel and then the ontology. The computer experts tested the Iranian indigenous knowledge ontology by creating various queries in JavaScript. IranAgriOnt gave positive answers to various queries and was approved by the computer experts. The indigenous knowledge researchers evaluated the ontological model. At this stage, criteria-based approach was used and the agricultural experts evaluated and approved the designed ontology. Related works were examined in two categories of Agricultural Indigenous Knowledge and video.Indigenous Knowledge and Agricultural ontologies were the Agricultural Ontology Service Concept Server (AOS/CS) designed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Crop ontology (CO) designed and used by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and The Plant Ontology (PO) created by the Plant Ontology Consortium and Agricultural gene ontology (AGO) is a subset of gene ontology (GO), which was created in order to recognize and analyze the genes of agricultural species to meet analysis demands from new technologies and research. Also, the countries of Spain, China, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, India and Pakistan designed the ontology of indigenous agricultural knowledge. The works related to video ontology were also analyzed in order to identify the concepts and peroperties necessary in the design of video ontology from 2005 to 2018. In general, 26 classes have been created in this ontology, 20 of which are subclasses. It also includes 22 object properties, 33 data properties and more than two hundred individuals.In terms of using MPEG7, using the OWL and ontology design by Protégé, the present study is consistent with the related studies results. For the description of low- and high-level properties in the ontology, the study, has selected visual descriptors of color and shape. these properties are considered as properties of individuals of the class of Cultivar.In IranAgriOnt, did not find it appropriate to describe some low-level properties of the video, which were mentioned in MPEG7 for video description,

Human capital is recognized as the most important asset of any organization, and employee training is crucial for improving their productivity. Doctoral programs play a pivotal role in training skilled and specialized manpower by providing specialized training in various fields. PhD students can play a role as skilled manpower in organizations by acquiring certain characteristics and help to increase their productivity. The purpose of the present study is to systematically review the research which was conducted on the characteristics of Ph.D. students to identify these characteristics and determine the status of the research as well as their research gap.

A systematic method was used to conduct this research. First, after searching from reliable databases, 1045 studies were identified. During the three stages of monitoring (monitoring based on the title, abstract and full text), duplicate articles without the necessary criteria were removed, and finally, 135 research (92 foreign research titles and 43 domestic titles), including articles published in journals, articles presented in Conferences and theses were identified.

After studying the research line by line, the characteristics were classified into 4 categories: "personal characteristics", "research characteristics", "educational characteristics" and "professional characteristics". "Personal characteristics" were divided into three subcategories: "behavioral characteristics", "psychological characteristics" and "morality". "Research characteristics" were divided into two subcategories: "research ethics" and "focusing on a specific research area". "Educational characteristics" were divided into two subcategories: "teaching" and "learning". And "Professional characteristics" were also categorized into two subcategories "Professional skills" and "Professional interactions". In each of the categories, their important features are introduced by mentioning their related document.

The findings showed that educational characteristics, despite their importance in the Ph.D. course, have received less attention from researchers and there is a need for more research. Research gaps are also visible in all main categories and some subcategories of research.

Knowledge sharing among employees is a key component in gaining a competitive advantage for organizations in today's dynamic environment. Knowledge sharing is vital for organizations, so the aim of this article is to identify and categorize barriers to knowledge sharing, rank these barriers, and provide solutions to overcome them in an organization.

This research utilizes a mixed-method approach, and the data collection tools include library studies, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. The target population of this research consists of managers, administrative staff, and heads of counties in the Iran Public Libraries Foundation. The research sample includes 170 individuals selected through cluster sampling.

The results of the comprehensive analysis led to the identification of 83 indicators in 4 main dimensions, including technological barriers, organizational barriers, cultural barriers, and individual barriers to knowledge sharing. The dimension of technological barriers includes 12 indicators, the dimension of organizational barriers includes 21 indicators, the dimension of cultural barriers includes 15 indicators, and finally, the dimension of individual barriers includes 21 indicators.

The findings indicate that "organizational barriers" have the most significant impact, while "cultural barriers" have the least significant impact on knowledge sharing in the country's Public Libraries Foundation. Consequently, necessary solutions have been proposed to address these barriers

Today, organizations, especially libraries, are focused on the value of relationships with their customers and change their strategies from the orbital product of the customer, and the monitoring system of satisfaction as an effective strategy is of great importance. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the possibility of establishing the monitoring system of user satisfaction in the Astan Quds library from the viewpoint of librarians.

This quantitive research was an applied one in terms of purpose and a descriptive-quantitative one in terms of data collection. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of the study was librarians working in the Central Library of Astan Quds, among which 130 were selected by simple random sampling and the questionnaire was distributed among them. The analysis was performed using SPSS software in two descriptive and inferential levels.

Data analysis showed that the possibility of deployment of user satisfaction systems in the central library of Astan Qods in the organizational level of marketing (customer-orbital), management (Strategic Planning, Organizational Culture, Internal Marketing, Project Management) and Information Technology (Innovation and knowledge management) and also at the individual level from the perspective of admission at moderate level.

According to the findings of the research, the Library of the Astan Quds seems to take action to establish a monitoring system of satisfaction, although it needs to enhance the factors raised at individual and organizational level.

Academic Social media are interactive tools technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of data, information, text, images, video, visuals, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual networks. The rapid progress and development of social media and its associated tools have made Dissemination of information easy for the university students. this research aimed at studing the familiarity with applications and advantages of the use of scientific’s social networks in the university studentsof Khorramabad city.

The type of research is applied. The research method is survey-descriptive. The statistical population was about 5000 students The study sample was consiste of 374 male and female students of state and nongovernmental universities (such as Azad, Payam Noor and Applied-Science) from Khorramabad city who were studying in the year of 2016. Data were collected by the researcher-made questionnaire and at the interval scale. The validity of the questionnaire was done using the face validity method, using the opinions of subject experts. The final reliability of the questionnaire in the sample of 374 students was determined to be 0.94 using Cronbach's alpha method.In order to analysis of the data, the software SPSS 21 was used.

The results showed that the rate use of the users of scientific’s social networks in Khorramabad’s academic libraries were lower than average or in low level. According to the rank average of from highest to lowest, the applications of the use of scientific’s social networks in Khorramabad’s university libraries indicated that the use of scientific’s social networks in Khorramabad’s university students in the fields of instruction, research, scientific, social, providing a suitable platform for scientific communication among students, teachers and researchers, cultural, transferring the knowledge and update concepts were 1 to 7 respectively. Also, the advantages of the use of scientific’s social networks in Khorramabad’s university students in the field of time spent of the use of resources, considered as a useful system in academic libraries, used by ordinary people and non-students, raising awareness, enhancing learning, the acquisition of useful content and scientific articles, promote the scientific and research of students, the dissemination of information and the library’s refreshes, attracting students and use of this modern system were 1 to 9 respectively.

Using scientific social networks such as LinkedIn, ResearchGate, and Academia, books, articles, and library files can be easily shared for accessibility. It provided appropriate information services and supported educational and research activities. Also, important benefits were identified in the use of social networks. Among them: Scientific communication and interaction among students, rapid dissemination of information, bringing users closer beyond the geographical location, influence for better communication in virtual space, awareness of the proper functioning of networks, optimization of the time of using resources, the useful role of this system in academic libraries and strengthening the awareness of Specialized students. One of the important problems in using social networks is the low level of digital literacy among students.

Both the importance of learning English and early childhood language acquisition underscore the importance of focusing attention on factors that facilitate language acquisition for this age group. One of the essential components in any educational process is the related textbooks, which can determine the success or failure of learners in attaining the intended objectives. According to most experts, textbooks should be developed to meet the needs of students and their differences. Among these considerations for children are emotions and senses.Therefore, the present research was conducted to evaluate the content of textbooks written to teach English to children using criteria based on the emotion-based education model, which deals with the effect of emotions caused by the use of senses.

 This study was considered applied research that conducted a content analysis method. Its main purpose is to evaluate the sources of teaching English to children in Iran. The population of the study consisted of all the textbooks used in this field, and the statistical sample is the most popular among them. To identify these sources, it was tried to identify the most popular English language institutions in Iran and detect the popular resources through them. For this purpose, an explanatory questionnaire was designed scientifically and answered by 107 English teachers who were selected by random sampling. On this basis, the corpus of the investigation consisted of four collections, namely, Super Minds, First Friends, Family and Friends, and Selected Collection of the Iranian Language Center. In the second step, the content of the mentioned sources (18 book volumes) was analyzed based on the three criteria of »use of senses«,»communication« and  »emo-sensory-capital«. Since decision-making based on multiple criteria requires reliable methods, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a method for analyzing complex decisions is used to score the criteria . For this purpose, four questionnaires were prepared according to this method and completed by experts. Finally, by calculating the consistency rate that is used to check the reliability, the relative and absolute weights of the alternatives are calculated and the most suitable source was determined. 

According to the relative value calculated for each of the criteria, the two criteria »integration of senses« and »communication« have a relative value as top ones equal to 0.467, and »emotional-sensory-capital«  with a relative value of 0.067 is  in the third place. The calculations related to the relative value of »integration of senses« are in line with the Emotioncy model hierarchy, in the sense that the relative value of the levels increases as one moves from auditory to master level. According to the obtained results, the relative value of the sub-criterion of  »centri-communication«  is equal to sub-criterion of »peri-communication«. This shows that according to experts' views, paying attention to motivational techniques in the learning process has the same value as the techniques used to convey and clarify the content. The relative value of the resources in the »integration of the senses« criterion shows that the Super Minds collection with a score of 0.38 is in the highest rank and Family and Friends and First Friends collections are in the middle with scores of 0.134 and 0.111, respectively and the Iranian Language Center collection with the score of 0.087 is in the last place. In terms of the »communication« criterion, the Super Minds scored the highest with a vlaue of 0.408, and the Iranian Language Center collection have taken the last position with a score of 0.053. The Super Minds collection, with a score of 0.452, is also the best resource in terms of the »emotional-sensory capital« criterion, followed by Family and Friends, First Friends, and Iranian Language Center with scores of 0.329, 0.178, and 0.041, respectively. 

The  main findings show that the resources used to teach English to children in Iran stopped at the first two levels of the Emotioncy's model and did not reach the higher levels of the emotioncy pyramid. Among them, the visual emotioncy which has the highest frequency, followed by auditory emotioncy. Because less than 20% of children learn through listening at a young age, it can be said that the majority of the audience of these textbooks do not benefit from their learning style. After the visual and auditory emotioncy, the inner emotioncy emerged, but it is much less used than the previous stages. Kinesthetic emotioncy is placed after Inner emotioncy. Meanwhile, a group of learners will learn better when concepts are experienced through physical, tactile and movement processes. Regarding Arch and Master's emotioncy, we can say that Arch's emotioncy is not taken into account in any source, except for the Super Mind Collection, and Master's emotioncy frequency is zero in all sources. In the reviewed sources, sensory use was more direct and conscious, and many of the assessments of sensory criteria were related to centri-sensory techniques, while paying attention to peri-sensory techniques facilitates the process of  deep learning. The study data also show that there is no balance between the two sub-criteria of communication, and the sub-criterion of centri-communication has a greater share of sources.The predominance of centri-communication techniques over peri-communication suggests that the primary purpose of sources is to convey content consciously and directly and less attention has been paid to the attractiveness of effective communication. Also, attention to the criterion of emotional-sensory-capital was not observed in the reviewed sources; while successful communication is also implicitly lost if the content of the book is indifferent to the emotional-sensory capital of the subject. At the end of the research and after calculating the absolute weights of the sources, the Super Minds collection with an absolute weight of 0.481 was determined as the best textbook for teaching English to children in Iran. The Family and Friends collection ranks second with an absolute weight of 0.221, and the First Friends and Iranian Language Center collection have taken the third and fourth positions with an absolute weight of 0.207 and 0.092, respectively. In conclusion, it can be said that in the content of popular sources of teaching English to children in Iran, the three criteria of »use of senses«, »communication« and »emo-sensory capital«, which influence the learning process of children, have not received much attention.
