the purpose present research, analysis and synthesis analysis presented in the context of the application of ICT in teaching and learning is based on learners' academic performance, this research method is meta-analysis. The population scientific for this study constitue of the written works such as theses and articles in sites irandoc, magiran, sid and noormagz and some papers in indexed journals between years 87-94, that between the done works, 57 research chosed and after studies 36 research were chosen because they have necessary information to review. Data analysis was performed with the help of two soft ware CMA2 & EXCEL. In order to static study in descriptive statistics action used of frequency and percent frequency and in ferential static section, to calculate effect size used of hex and fixed effect and random effect model and in order to combination effects size were used of t vainer possible combination method. The findings of the descriptive statistics section show that most of the articles were selected from 91-92 years. In the inferential statistics section, the results also show a bias towards the initial studies. The results also show that the effect size of all studies except one is significant at the level of 0.05, so there is a significant relationship between ICT and academic achievement of learners. This confirms the effective role of ICTs in students' academic achievement if they are applied principally in schools and universities.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the adoption of modern educational technologies and associated obstacles in schools of Semnan Province, Iran, while providing appropriate solutions. It was a descriptive-correlational research. To this end, a sample of 600 students, 300 teachers, 200 principals from schools of Semnan were selected through stratified random sampling. Questionnaires on the adoption of modern educational technologies, infrastructure and obstacles to the adoption of modern educational technologies were administered. Data were analyzed through descriptive measures and Chi-square test. The results demonstrated that modern educational technologies are adopted moderately for students in Semnan. The results also indicated that the main obstacle to the adoption of modern educational technologies was economic as viewed by teachers and principals. The next important obstacles were of strategic, educational, technical, legal and cultural nature. Furthermore, there was a significantly positive correlation between the adoption of modern educational technologies and academic achievement among students. Generally, the results pointed to a moderate and desirable adoption of modern educational technologies from the perspective of students and to the vital need for planning in order to resolve economic and educational obstacles.

This study aims to investigate the role of e-learning skills in the virtual students’ academic achievement and satisfaction. The statistical population is composed of all students at the E-Learning Education Center at the University of Tehran and Mehr Alborz Higher Education Institute out of whom, 388 individuals were selected as the sample using the relative stratified sampling method and based on Kerjessi and Moregan Table. The research method is correlation, and two researcher-developed questionnaires, e-learning preparation measurement test, and academic satisfaction test were used for data collection. Content validity of these two tests through using the views of seven e-learning specialists and their reliability upon trial administration to 60 students and calculation of Cronbach’s alpha were put at 0.84 and 0.87 respectively. Moreover, in order to measure and assess academic achievement, the researchers employed the students’ mean of academic achievement. The research data were analyzed by means of a t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression, the results of which indicated that the level of students’ skills is mediocre, level of academic satisfaction is mediocre, and the level of their academic achievement is good. Pearson correlation coefficient demonstrated that there is a correlation between metacognitive and cognitive skills and academic achievement. Furthermore, the results and findings suggest that there is a correlation between metacognitive and cognitive skills and academic satisfaction, while no significant relation was found between the variables of technological skills and communication skills and academic achievement and satisfaction. The share of metacognitive skills in prediction of the students’ academic achievement is 32.8%, and that of cognitive skills is 11.5%. In addition, the share of metacognitive skills in prediction of students’ academic satisfaction is 50%, and that of cognitive skills is 17.5%.

This study primarily aims to investigate direct impact of the variables of experience, anxiety, computer self-efficacy and academic engagement in relation to academic achievement of the students at Payame Noor University of Fars Province. Its method is correlation. Using Kerjessi and Morgan formula, the researchers selected 410 students from among those studying at the Payame Noor University of Fars Province with random sampling method. The data collection instruments in this study include the standards questionnaires analyzed by means of route analysis and Lisrel application. The variables of cognitive, motivational and behavioral engagement, computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety have a direct, significant impact on the students’ academic achievement. Therefore, the research hypotheses are verified, i.e. the variable of computer self-efficacy has a direct, significant effect on the students’ cognitive, motivational and behavioral engagement; the variables of computer experience and computer anxiety have a direct, significant impact on the students’ computer self-efficacy; and ultimately, computer experience has a reverse, significant effect on the students’ computer anxiety. In examining overall and direct effects, it was found out that out of the effective variables in academic achievement, computer self-efficacy with an overall effect of 0.39 has the greatest impact on academic achievement, and cognitive engagement with a direct effect of 0.24 vis-à-vis other variables has the greatest effect on the students’ academic achievement, while the variable of computer anxiety is the only one which has a reserve effect vis-à-vis other research variables. Moreover, the model has a good and ideal fit toward the data.

This study aims to investigate the impact of cooperative learning and individual conceptual map on the students’ motivation and academic achievement. The research method is quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest design and a control group. The statistical population comprises all high school 1st grade girls in Hamedan. The statistical sample consists of 60 individuals who were selected using the cluster random sampling method. In this study, 20 participants were taught with cooperative learning method, 20 were taught by means of individual conceptual map methods, and 20 individuals formed the control group. The data were collected using academic motivation questionnaire and academic achievement test. In order to analyze the data, the researcher adopted covariance analysis test. The findings suggest that teaching with cooperative learning method and individual conceptual map leads to an improvement in the students’ academic motivation and academic achievement (P<0.001). The research results suggest that for the teachers to raise the level of students’ academic achievement and motivation, they should pay attention to the role of motivational factors in teaching with cooperative learning method and individual conceptual map.
