This study aimed to investigate the situation of blended learning in the high school of Kohrang city. For its implementation, a mixed research method was used. The research had two statistical populations. The first group was scientific experts, executive experts and the second group was school principals, teachers of the first and second secondary courses, and education experts from the Department of Education of Kohrang. The method of selecting participants in the qualitative part was targeted (17 people) and in the quantitative part, stratified sampling was used (120 people). For data collection, semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative part, and researcher-made questionnaires extracted from the interviews were used in the quantitative part. The validity of the questionnaire was done using face and content validity (0.79) and its reliability was also done using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for strengths of 0.79; Weaknesses 0.77; Opportunities were estimated at 0.82 and threats at 0.81. The findings showed that the most important point of strength was quick feedback to students and the most important point of weakness was the low level of electronic preparation of schools. The most important opportunity has been to achieve the goals of the education reform document as best as possible, and the most important threat has been to reduce the level of parental supervision over children. According to the findings of the research, the strengths outweigh the weaknesses and the opportunities outweigh the threats, so the proposed strategy of education is SO (Strength-Opportunity Strategy).

After the spread of Corona and the provision of training in virtual space, challenges were created for students, the higher education system and the health institution. The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent and factors affecting the satisfaction of student teachers of Farhangian University of Alborz province with virtual education in the era of Corona. The present study was collected using a quantitative and survey method from a sample of 328 student teachers using a systematic sampling method, using a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its validity was based on the opinions of experts. Data were analyzed using spss and Smart-PLS software. The level of academic satisfaction of the students was average. Based on the results of Pearson correlation, the variables of virtual learning, quality of teaching and interaction with professors, technology-oriented education and marriage have an effect on academic satisfaction. Also, with the increase in age and academic term, the satisfaction of students has decreased. The path analysis model also indicates that; Technology-based skills, interaction with professors, learning in the context of cyberspace and finally the quality of professors' teaching have had the greatest impact on the model of students' academic satisfaction. Therefore, considering the important role of Farhangian University in training human resources, upgrading the necessary standards and increasing the satisfaction of student teachers are important in this university.

This study aims to explore the prospective research dimensions of technology governance within higher education through internal investigations. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research adopted an inductive methodology and qualitative meta-synthesis method. The present investigation employed a comprehensive sample of 50 peer-reviewed scholarly articles that were published in esteemed domestic academic journals and conference proceedings between the years 2009 and 2023. Of this corpus, 20 articles were selected based on a set of predefined criteria, including their level of precision, originality, and innovative content. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis facilitated by the maxqda20 software. The analysis yielded 89 codes, categorized into 4 primary themes, addressing topics such as the future of technology, technology's role in higher education in Iran, future trends in higher education research, and forthcoming research directions. The findings suggest that forthcoming internal research endeavors in technology within higher education are oriented towards aspects external to the university, particularly concerning the institution's engagement in the metaverse domain, which is anticipated to instigate comprehensive transformations.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the ethical foundations of supervising teachers in the digital age. This research was developmental-applied in terms of purpose and qualitative-quantitative method. The field of the study was school principals in the field of monitoring virtual education, who were selected by the snowball method and at the limit of theoretical saturation. Also, the statistical population of the quantitative part included 120 principals schools in Sanandaj. They were selected randomly using Morgan's table. For measuring the proportionality of the model, the opinions of 30 educational management professors, educational ethics researchers, and educational science professors were obtained. The tool of the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview, whose validity was confirmed by Guba and Lincoln's (2000) opinion method and reliability by agreement between coders. Based on the findings of the research, principals' supervision of teachers' virtual activities was subject to three main concepts of teachers' individual ethics, teacher's social ethics identifiers and spiritual-Islamic ethics identifiers in the form of 5 main categories and 29 components. According to the results, he presented a framework for supervising teachers in the form of 5 general concepts (individual ethics in the classroom, educational content of teachers, social ethics, monitoring relationships and identifiers of spiritual-Islamic ethics), which according to the experts' opinion, the proposed framework of this research is valid and It has a good fit.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of lower elementary school courses in Student Educational Network from the perspective of this course teachers to present a picture of its strengths and weaknesses in terms of providing support services, provide teachers with infrastructure and technology, planners, help experts and designers to design and implement e-learning. The method is survey in terms of purpose. The statistical population includes all elementary school teachers in 15th district of Tehran. The sample size was determined based on Krejci-Morgan table of 302 teachers from 1420 statistical population by random sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire of 33 questions on a five-point Likert scale. The analysis was performed with T test and using SPSS26 statistical software and was prioritized with using Friedman statistical test. Findings show that respondents' satisfaction was with support services and the least satisfaction was with technical services The results show that some items which elementary teachers were very dissatisfied with were: Internet usage costs for SEN program, the inability to communicate online, the impossibility of creating an efficient electronic portfolio for each student, low quality audio and video in live, the impossibility of group video calling.

This research aimed to investigate the impact of differentiated video-based learning (VBL) compared to conventional VBL on learning, self-regulation learning (SRL), and satisfaction with the course with an innovative pedagogical approach. Given the critical importance of addressing diverse learner needs and characteristics in online educational environments, particularly in an era increasingly dominated by digital tools, the potential of learning analytics (LA) to meet these challenges merits rigorous investigation. This research employed a quasi-experimental design, utilizing a pre-test-post-test model with control groups. A total of sixty teachers, selected via convenience sampling, were randomly allocated to either the experimental or control groups. Data were gathered using several instruments: an online SRL questionnaire, a bespoke learning assessment, and a course satisfaction survey, and the LA tool. The instructional intervention, comprising a five-session course on the subject of principles of instructional design, was administered with LA support in differentiated form for the experimental group and without for the control group. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the experimental group, which engaged in the differentiated VBL approach, showed significantly greater improvements in learning outcomes, SRL, and overall satisfaction compared to the control group, which received conventional VBL. Based on the results, suggestions were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the "Iran TV School" program on the academic performance of students with the mediation of academic engagement during the Corona period. The research method was a correlational survey. The statistical population includes all sixth grade students (1038 people) of Kordkuy city in the year 1400-1401, and 343 people were selected as a statistical sample using proportional stratified random sampling. To collect data, two standard questionnaires of academic performance by Pahm and Tyler (1999) and Shofli and Becker's academic engagement questionnaire (2006), were used. Pearson correlation coefficients and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the amount of watching TV school programs with academic engagement and academic performance. Also, the results showed that the television school program affects the academic performance both directly and indirectly (with the mediation of academic engagement).
