This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of technology-based teaching strategy on the academic engagement of the sixth grade elementary school students in the course of experimental sciences. The research method was based on quasi-experimental nature with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of the research included all sixth grade female students of the elementary school in Dere Shahr city in the academic year of 2022-2023. To select the sample size from the convenience sampling method, 36 students of the sixth grade of the second period of Elementary School in Dere Shahr City were selected and then the selected sample was randomly assigned into experimental groups (18 people) and control groups (18 people). Fredericks (2004) educational enthusiasm questionnaire were used to collect data on academic engagement. The experimental group was trained using the active teaching strategy based on technology during eight sessions, and the control group was trained in the usual way. To analyze the data, statistical methods have been used at two descriptive levels (central and dispersion indices) and inferential (covariance analysis). The results showed that the technology-based teaching strategy had a significant effect on students' academic engagement. According to the results of this research regarding the effectiveness of the technology-based teaching strategy on the academic engagementof elementary school students, it is suggested that this strategy be included in the agenda of the Deputy of Elementary Education of the Ministry of Education.

This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationship between organizational culture and tacit learning during the corona era in the education system (case study: primary school teachers). The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in nature. The statistical population included all the elementary teachers working in public schools of Alborz province, numbering 6657 people, who were selected as the sample of the study by using cluster random sampling method and based on Cochran's table. Denison's Organizational Culture Questionnaire was used to collect data, and implicit learning researcher-made questionnaire was used to measure implicit learning in the organization. Investigating the relationship between organizational culture and implicit learning with Pearson correlation and investigating the ability of organizational culture to predict implicit learning with regression analysis. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between organizational culture and implicit learning in school. Also, organizational culture can predict implicit learning in school.

This paper attempted to evaluate the impact of educational multimedia based on Gagné’s Instructional Systems Design (ISD) on learning and retention of Natural Sciences among sixth grade students with intellectual disability. The methodology involved a quasi-experimental procedure, pretest-posttest and a control group. The population included all sixth grade female students with intellectual disability studying at special education centers of Khorramabad, Iran, during the academic year 2014-2015. Using convenient sampling, 30 students were selected and then randomly divided into two groups. The instrument used in this study was a researcher-made learning and retention quiz. The learning pre-test was administered by the researcher for both experimental and control groups. Then, the experimental group was trained through eight sessions using multimedia devices based on Gagné’s model, while the control group received the conventional treatment. Post-test was administered on both groups. The researcher administered the retention quiz on students two weeks after the completion of course. Statistical methods were employed at descriptive and inferential levels to analyze the statistical data. The findings suggested a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of learning and retention rate. In fact, the experimental group achieved better learning and retention.

This study aims to investigate the quality of e-learning at Amirkabir University based on the elements of educational design. The research method is descriptive and analytical. The statistical population comprises all core and specialized courses corresponding to the field of applied mathematics – operations research in e-learning program of the university in the academic year 2012-2013. The sampling method is random sampling whereby the course “Engineering Statistics and Probability” was selected. The data collection instrument includes a researcher-developed checklist developed based on the elements of educational design. Formal validity was employed for the purpose of examining validity and its reliability coefficient was put at 0.78 as suggested by Cronbach’s alpha. In order to gather the data, the specialists received online training in 6 sessions. Afterwards, they filled in the checklist. Descriptive and inferential statistics as well as SPSS program were applied in data collection. The results suggest that the quality of e-learning at Amirkabir University based on the elements of educational design is relatively ideal.
