The results indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between academic buoyancy and learning experiences with critical thinking (P<0.01). The results of hierarchy regression showed that psychological capital significantly mediate on relation of academic buoyancy and learning experiences with critical thinking (P<0.01).

The purpose of this study was to assessing the quality of the mentioned network from three aspects: educational capabilities, program design and appearance, performance and technical characteristics. This research is generally descriptive and specially a survey. The statistical population of this study was all teachers in Khuzestan province. Due to the prevalence of Covid-19 disease and also the size of the study population, an available random sampling method was used. 1588 teachers participated in the research as a statistical sample. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaire approved by using the Lowshe’s content validity ratio index (CVR). Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the pilot implementation was 0.94 and in the main implementation was 0.96, which indicates the high reliability of the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one sample t-test and Friedman test. The findings showed that the quality of the educational network in all three dimensions (including educational capabilities, design and appearance of the program, as well as performance and technical characteristics) is above average. Another finding of this study showed that quality of "design and appearance of the program" is more than other dimensions. Although the quality of Shad educational network was generally above average from the point of view of the studied teachers, however, in order to improve it and achieve the desired situation, it is necessary to improve this platform, especially in terms of educational capabilities, performance and technical characteristics.
