Today, blended learning has been welcomed by educational systems. An important factor in the quality of implementation and evaluation of a blended learning is the emotional presence of learners. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of blended learning on the emotional presence of elementary school students in Shahryar city in science course. The research method was a quasi-experimental type of pre-test-post-test with a control group. Using available sampling method, 60 students were selected and randomly assigned to experimental group and control group. The instrument of data collection was Cleveland-Innes and Campbell (2012) emotional presence questionnaire. The experimental group received 6 sessions of blended learning and the control group received 6 sessions of face-to-face learning. In order to check the changes before the intervention, a pre-test was performed on both groups, and after the intervention, a post-test was performed on both groups. To analyze the research data, statistical methods were used at two descriptive levels (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (correlated t-test and multivariate covariance analysis). The results of covariance analysis showed that the effect of blended learning on emotional presence is greater than that of face-to-face learning. Therefore, it can be said that blended learning can effectively provide the context for expressing emotions and feelings of learners.

Educational television is not a new phenomenon, it played more prominent role in the time of COVID-19 pandemic, contributing significantly to advancing the educational goals of learners. The objective of this study is to analyze the educational programs of (IRIB) Amoozesh or TV 7 for preschool learners. The evaluation form of TV programs for total population (2009) was obtained by reviewing the related literature. Then a checklist was developed according to the criteria of the comprehensive pre-school education and learning plan to answer the research question, what are the problems of the educational programs broadcast by TV7 for preschool learners? The population of this study includes all the educational programs of TV 7 for preschool learners on the TV school of the academic year 2021-2022 and the sample includes programs in the field of scientific,, social and identity area. The sampled programs were analyzed using the content analysis and checklist as the instrument to answer the research question, what are the problems of the educational programs broadcast by TV7 for preschool learners? The research data indicated that “thinking” with an average of 4.49 was the most consistent field with the criteria of the comprehensive pre-school plan, and “identity” with an average of 3.83, and “language” with an average of 3.58 were the least consistent fields with the criteria of the plan. Moreover, this study indicated that the content of TV 7 educational programs for preschool learners has problems in the components of formulating educational goals, partial goals, accuracy, and non-contradiction.

This study aimed to examine the effect of instructional computer games using media comparison approach on learning and motivation of the students in the 4th year of primary school in the mathematics course. The statistical population of this quasi-experimental study was pretest-posttest design with control group and included all 4th grade boy students in the academic year of 2017-2018. The sampling method was simple random clustering with sample size of 64 students. Data were gathered using teacher made out come test. At first pretest was performed. The experimental group received the instruction using computer game produced and the control group received the instruction in a conventional method. At the end of the training post-test was done for the two groups. The multi covariance test has been used to test the research hypothesis. Generally, the results of the study indicated that instructional computer game has improved students learning and motivation in the math course. Some recommendations are provided concerning research results and implementation of media comparison approach.
