The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of students’ electronic content on the high-level learning motivation and efficiency in the first grade of elementary school in the science course. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group. The population of this pseudo-experimental study with pre-test, post-test, and control group, was all the girls in the seventh grade of 1395-96 school year. The sampling method was simple randomized cluster and the sample size was 58 (29 in experimental group, and 29 in control group). Data were gathered using Harter’s educational motivation questionnaire and a researcher-made high-level learning efficiency test. The experimental group produced digital course content using PowerPoint software. Control group learned by the simple method and speeches. Analyzing the research, descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, tables, and graphs) and inferential statistics (covariance analysis, Leven, and Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests) were used. The results showed that in the first main hypothesis, i.e. the effects of electronic content produced by students on their motivation, there was no significant difference in (internal and external) motivation between the control group and experimental group (p=0.40). In the second main hypothesis, i.e. the effect of electronic content produced by students on their high-level learning outcomes, there was a significant difference between high-level learning outcomes in the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). It could be concluded in general, engaging the learners in producing the electronic content will increase their high-level learning efficiencies.

The present paper is designed to examine the impact and role of Telegram as one of the social networks as a complementary tool in the teaching process as well as to study whether or not to use it as a complementary tool in the teaching process. To achieve this goal, four main research questions regarding the characteristics of the Telegram, the results of its application, the barriers to its application, as well as the suggestions for making better use of this tool in the training process are discussed. This is a qualitative and interpretive phenomenological research. Research tools include Semi-structured interview, Observation and Journal Writting. In order to analyze the data of these three tools in the research, Thematic analysis method was used and Narrative analysis was used in addition to Thematic analysis. The research area is the Islamic Azad University of Tarbiat Modares University and the sample consisted of 8 postgraduate students of Tarbiat Modarres University and 11 postgraduate students of Islamic Azad University of Tehran. According to the research questions, the results of the three research tools indicate that the Telegram has the capacity and capability to be used in educational settings, but not alone, but rather in a traditional teaching method.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of multimedia produced in the framework of Mayer's multimedia cognitive theory on learning and students' attitude toward mathematical lesson.. This is a quasi-experimental study and it was conducted with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of this research is all students of first grade of highschool of distance education centers that are located in 2 district education OF Arak city.Among the mentioned community, two distance learning centers were selected randomly and from these two centers 40 individuals were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The control group recieved formal training from recreation centers and the experimental group by a researcher-made multimedia, studied the first and second chapters of mathematics of the first grade of highschool. Reliability of the researcher-made test data collection tool based on the educational objectives of Chapter 1 and 2 of mathematics of the 7th grade of highschool is 0/85. The attitude toward mathematics was also measured by the Aiken Math Attitude Questionnaire.In this study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.84. The results of ANCOVA Covariance analysis in the test of learning and attitude toward the mathematical lesson indicate a significant difference in the experimental group versus the control group. The research results show that a multimedia produced in the framework of cognitive theory of multimedia Can have more impact on students' learning and attitude in comparison to common practices in distance learning centers.

This study is an attempt to identify and prioritize the effective factors affecting public schools teachers’ tendency to employ e-learning. The study population are 667 elementary school teachers teaching in public schools. The study sample, using the Morgan table, were 242 people who were selected by simple random sampling. In this research four components of individual characteristics, environmental factors, infrastructure, educational media and educational content were studied and indicators for each component were determined. The study data gathering instrument was a 30-item researcher-made questionnaire.that was designed and developed on the basis of opinions of education experts and scholars and the findings of previous studies . The result of this research indicates that environment and infrastructure (3.11), educational media (2.43), individual characteristics of the learner (2.39) and educational content (2.08), were ranked one to four. The components of each factor were also ranked, among which computer literacy and experience and web knowledge were (8.52) at the highest level and appropriateness of educational content with occupational needs (2.38) were at the lowest level. The study findings indicate that teachers prefer electronic in-service education to other modes of teaching and learning because it is less time-consuming and cheaper.

Regarding to the social importance of family, its context has important effect on the development of children. For that reason, this study endeavors to see to what extent enhancing mothers' international literacy has important effect on their educational ability. To that end, 182 Iranian mothers were selected to be taught English L2 contents. They were randomly divided into two groups. Regarding the relationship between the level of mothers' literacy and their social behavior, the first group was taught through conventional method of teaching and the second group was taught through application of genre-based instruction (GBI) via cellphone. In addition to the formative assessment of the participants, pre-research and post-research questionnaires were conducted. Analysis of the results revealed that GBI method of teaching L2 through the medium of cellphone had important impact on promoting the international literacy of Iranian mothers, which in turn paved the way for boosting their educational ability.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between human relations skills with students learning level of Ardabil is applied. The goal of the application, the method is descriptive correlational and in their mode of data collection survey and questionnaire data collection. The population of this study included all students of Ardabil University of Applied Sciences that their number is over 7,000. Cochran formula was used to determine sample size was 364 students who were selected by stratified random sampling method. To collect the required data were collected from questionnaires. Statistical data processing and analysis using SPSS software to analyze the main hypotheses and sub-hypotheses, Pearson correlation coefficient was used first to seventh. The results show that the human relations skills with students learning level there is a significant positive relationship. The correlation coefficient between the two variables is 56/0. The results also show that the correct expression of thoughts and feelings, good listening skills, concentration and attention to teachers, good verbal communication and feedback skills by learning level there is a significant positive relationship.
