The aim of this research is to study the fundamentals of competency-based course outline, which has been implemented in the case of revision syllabus of Master's degree program in Educational Technology. The dominant approach in the research is qualitative. In the first stage, the relevant sources about competency-based curriculum were analyzed with the descriptive analytical method. In the second stage, a qualitative interview was conducted with several faculty members of the Educational Technology department who had completed the Master's degree program in Educational Technology. The interview themes included four important criteria in development and revising curriculum from the Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution: efficiency, updating, localization, and Islamization, and the required competencies (knowledge, skills, and personal attitudes) for graduates of the Educational Technology program. The interview texts were transcribed, and then open, subcomponent and component codes were identified with the MAXQDA software. The analysis method for analyzing of interview was inductive content analysis, and the unit of analysis was the thematic content. Based on the interview results and comparative studies on the Master's-syllabus of Educational Technology in international universities was identified the title of lessons in Master's-course. The results of the research determines that the elimination of the Educational Technology specialization from the Bachelor's program and the lack of related specializations in Master's-course reduces the efficiency of the graduates

With the change in the environment, trainings from face-to-face to virtual and combined trainings are necessary; The type of evaluation should be reconsidered according to these conditions. One of the important components in university education is paying attention to high-level learning, which requires going through memory-based education, and this view requires a review of the type of evaluation, especially for virtual education. The purpose of the current research is to design an evaluation model for students in virtual education with an evaluation approach for learning. The research was conducted with a quality approach and content analysis method. In this context, qualitative research was conducted with inductive content analysis methods from reliable scientific sources, interviews with experts and with open coding, sub-component and component with thematic analysis unit, and the output of this stage was the compilation of an evaluation model for students in virtual education with the approach Evaluation was for learning. In the next step, for the content validity of the model, the content validity ratio of CVR as well as the content validity index of CVI from Lawshe were checked. The main components of the model are determining the purpose of evaluation, determining the approach, determining the goals of the curriculum, analyzing the learners, determining the evaluation method according to the conditions, determining the evaluation tool, conducting evaluation and analyzing the results, feedback and revision and correction.Keywords: evaluation, virtual education, evaluation model, evaluation approaches

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between neuroscience knowledge and learning behaviors, learning performance and high level thinking in students. The research method is descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of this study included all students of Allameh Tabataba'i University, 100 of whom were selected as available sampling method. Research tools include the Hokulano-Hussel Neurology Knowledge Questionnaire (2002), Mcdermot et al. (1999) learning behaviors, Yang, Klams & Murphy (2003) learning performance and Sarmad et al. (2011) high-level thinking. Findings showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between neuroscience knowledge and learning behaviors. There is a positive and significant relationship between neuroscience knowledge and learning performance. There is a significant positive relationship between neuroscience knowledge and high level thinking. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between neuroscience knowledge and learning behaviors, learning performance and high level thinking in students. According to the results of the study, it is suggested that neuroscience knowledge can be increased by organizing educational courses and preparing educational packages.

Abstract: The present research aim is to investigate the effect of holding the virtual laboratory, real laboratory, and education by the conventional method (lecture) on students' motivation in physics and laboratory lessons. The research sample has been selected among girl students of mathematics and physics branch in the third year of high school curriculum choice and syllabus of the electricity has been considered. The considered sample was selected through the random sampling and consisted of 45 persons that were investigated in the form of three groups. The present research design is of quasi-experimental type. The instrument of data collection has been SMQ4 questionnaire. The obtained results of analysis showed that there is a significant difference among three groups in components of motivation and average of most components of motivation is more in the group of virtual laboratory than two groups of the real laboratory and education by the traditional method. Keywords: motivation, virtual laboratory, real laboratory, the computerized simulation
