The present study provided a framework for curriculum elements based on lifelong learning using the capacity of cyberspace.The method was a qualitative in phenomenological type and the statistical population included curriculum planning experts and professors of Tabriz universities in 1400-1401. The sample size continued until the theoretical saturation of the data (15) among expert professors and the data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews using the snowball method.The data was analyzed through thematic coding and Smith methods.The validity was internal validity and the interviews were conducted with a predetermined program in a suitable atmosphere, with the observance of the interview conditions and away from bias and personal opinion.Considering the results of the data analysis based on the "content analysis" method obtained from interviews with the experts, 34 sub-themes were extracted and these themes were identified in eleven main themes,included Logic of curriculum,Objectives of curriculum,Content of curriculum,Learning activities,Teaching methodology,Paying attention to the role of teacher in curriculum,Materials and resources of curriculum,Space and place of curriculum,Curriculum time,Curriculum grouping and Curriculum evaluation features which formed the framework for the elements related to the curriculum based on lifelong learning using the capacity of cyberspace. Consequently, the 11 identified elements and their34 constituent indicators are the main elements of the curriculum based on lifelong learning using the capacity of cyberspace.Given that students achieve learning and education in school, thus, it is necessary to administer students' lifelong learning using cyberspace according to modern educational and communication technologies in the world, in the design of school curriculum.

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.

This study aimed to determine the frequency and type of Virtual space use among high school students.The study method was of a descriptive-survey type, and in terms of the purpose, it was a research-applied study. The statistical population included all high school students of Hamadan province (2020-2021). Using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, 500 of them were selected as sample member. The study instrument was a researcher-made instrument whose validity and reliability was assessed based on professors' views and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.92). Using Spss 24, the descreptive (frequency, percentage, and mean) and the inferential (independent t-test and Chi-square) statistics were employed for data analysis. Finding show that 84%5 of the students spend between 1-5 hours, %13 less than an hour, and 2%5 more than 5 hours per day, on using the internet.The result indicated the frequency of using the internet in Cyberspace is less than the average (3). Furthermore, the most common types of cyberspace use were "performing assignments," "gathering information about public issues," "communicating with classmates," and "listening to music," respectively. While the girls used Telegram, WhatsApp, and Shad more than the boys, the boys used Facebook and Instagram more than the girls (p<0.05). Regarding the type of cyberspace use, the Chi-square results indicated the girls use Cyberspace more than boys to do their assignments. it can be concluded that the frequency of cyberspace use among students is not too much, and they often use Cyberspace for doing their assignments and establishing social relationships with their friends.

critical thinking of students in COVID-19 with the mediating role of psychological capital. Method was correlation. Population were 17600 students of IAU, Tehran- north branch in 2020-2021. 210 participants selected by available sampling. Data were collected by questionnaires of Facione, s (1990) critical thinking, Dehghanizadeh and Hossein Chari, s (2012) academic buoyancy, Newmman and Newmman, s (1993) learning experiences and Lothanz & et al, s (2007) psychological capital and analyzed by Pearson’s correlation and hierarchy regression. 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). Results showed evidences that academic buoyancy and learning experiences effect critical thinking through engagement of students in the process of constructive learning and psychological capital through improving positive constructs in students, more explain the role of these variables on critical thinking. In other to increase critical thinking of students, it is suggested pay attention to academic buoyancy and learning experiences and promote psychological capitals through counseling and training.
