The aim of the study was to develop a questionnaire to facilitate teacher participation in student research centers, which was conducted using a mixed exploratory method. The statistical population of the study was the research teachers of Semnan province in the academic year 1400-1401. The statistical sample size was determined as 35 people in the qualitative part using a network method and 181 people in the quantitative part using a stratified random method. A closed-ended questionnaire with 21 items was designed based on semi-structured interviews and was provided to 380 research teachers as the statistical population. For the validity of the interview questions, member review and analysis of negative cases were used, and the Holst coefficient was used to measure reliability. The interview data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's open, axial, and selective coding methods. In the final stage, the selected code “Facilitating strategies for teachers’ participation in student research centers” was identified, including 3 components: “participatory actions of education and training”, “participatory actions of research centers”, and “participatory actions of schools” with 21 indicators. The questionnaire’s face and content validity were confirmed by the supervisors and advisors, and its construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis. The questionnaire’s reliability was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha at 0.957, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data, which indicates facilitating strategies in each of the axes. Considering the results, this questionnaire has appropriate validity and reliability and can be used to facilitate teacher participation in student research centers.

In the follow-up the perception of principals of primary schools in Sanandaj city towards the concept of technology leadership was analyzed. Therefore, the qualitative approach and phenomenological method were used. The field of research was all principals of primary schools in Sanandaj city. Through targeted sampling, 12 people were selected as research participants. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview that continued until the saturation of the theoretical category was reached. In order to analyze the data, two-stage coding method (centered and axial) was done by Glaseri (emerging approach). The findings of the research showed that the characteristics of technological leadership are: the perspective of empowering learners, the collective wisdom of leadership, extensive technological support and the technological program of leadership. Also, the findings showed that the challenges of technology leadership include: the weak technological foundation of learners, the lack of technological requirements in the school, the lack of insight of the teacher in the direction of using technology in education, and the weak knowledge of managers in the use of new technologies. Also, the findings showed that the consequences of technology leadership include professionalization. Teachers focus on the technical aspect of teaching, enabling learners to tolerate diversity in education, applying education, lifelong learning, and institutionalizing research culture.

The aim of the study was to predict cyber aggression based on rumination in students. The present study was a descriptive correlational study with applied objectives. The statistical population of this study included all students of Islamic Azad University, Arak Branch in the summer of 2024, who were selected through random sampling method, numbering 150, and responded online to the cyber aggression questionnaires of Alvarez Garcia et al. (2015) and the rumination questionnaire of Baghernejad et al. (2009). Pearson correlation coefficient analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze the data, which was performed using SPSS-26 statistical software. The results showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between cyber aggression and the variables of rumination (r-0.51), loneliness (r-0.25), helplessness (r-0.27), despair (r-0.27), and decreased social tolerance (r-0.21). The results of the regression analysis also showed that only the variables of rumination and loneliness significantly predict the variable of cyber aggression (p<0.05). According to the results obtained, it can be said that cyber aggression can be prevented by training and increasing psychological capabilities in individuals, as well as reducing rumination in individuals.

Public relations, due to its scientific and practical dimensions, requires continuous improvement and development, which can enhance the competencies of graduates. This research examines four key aspects of public relations education in Iran: skills, knowledge, internships, and updating. The study was conducted using surveys and questionnaires, with the statistical population including public relations experts in governmental and non-governmental organizations with over 100 employees in Tehran, including managers and professionals who graduated in this field. A multi-stage sampling method was used to select the participants.The results of the research show that internships, with an average of 3.76, were identified as the most important educational method. Following that, the teaching of specialized knowledge had an average of 3.71, and skills training had an average of 3.69, while updating knowledge and skills ranked last with an average of 3.43. These findings emphasize the significance of combining practical and theoretical education. Public relations, as a dynamic profession, requires specialists with broad knowledge in communication, management, technology, and strategic thinking. Industry-based internship models align most closely with the actual needs of this profession. Additionally, for updating, professionals should use various methods, such as specialized media, training courses, and conferences, to address the complex and changing challenges of this field.

With the increasing expansion of e-learning, the importance of aesthetics and visual design in creating effective, engaging, and enjoyable learning experiences is felt more than ever. While numerous studies have examined the technical and content-related components of e-learning, the direct application of these concepts in the context of e-learning has received less attention. One of the main reasons for this gap is the lack of clear and practical definitions of aesthetics and the necessary awareness in this area.This research aims to clarify the concepts and processes of using visual aesthetics to enhance the e-learning experience through broad research methods. A literature review in this field indicates that visual aesthetics in e-learning refers to a set of design principles aimed at creating effective interaction between the user and the system, facilitating the learning process.The findings of this research show that appropriate choices of colors, fonts, images, and layout of visual elements in content design, user interface, and e-learning environments can creatively impact not only visual appeal but also significantly influence cognitive, emotional, and motivational aspects of learning. The results of this research can serve as guidance for designers of e-learning environments.With the increasing expansion of e-learning, the importance of aesthetics and visual design in creating effective, engaging, and enjoyable learning experiences is felt more than ever.
