Research plan was a kind of quasi-experimented and pre-test design Quasi-experimental design. The population of this study consisted all girls in first grade of Qom private high schools in 2014-2015 academic year. The sample was selected among the accessible high schools, then two classes were selected as experimental and control groups randomly. Internet information literacy skills training were presented for experimental group in seven sessions, while the control group was not given this instruction. Davarpanah & Siamak Internet information literacy questionnaire (2009) and Heppner & Peterson problem solving skills questionnaire (1982) were used in this study. The results of the pre-test and post-test was used to compare and analyze using analysis of covariance and split-plot ANOVA design (SP ANOVA) between-within participants. The results of this research showed that internet information literacy instruction has been effective to increase students' ability to apply internet information literacy skills. Moreover, results of this research showed that internet information literacy instruction has positive effects on students' problem-solving skills. Also this instruction had positive effect on three factors of education in problem solving skills including problem-solving confidence, orientation activities, behaviors and emotions control during problem solving.

To select sample, multistage cluster method was used, The two classes were selected, Students in one class were selected as experiment group And others were used as control group. In this study, the experimental group were trained with researcher-made interactive Multimedia and control group were trained with traditioanl method. Data collection tools were researcher-made Quran Literacy test and Harter's classroom affect and motivational scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic including mean and standard deviation and also inferential statistic including MANOVA, Covariance analysis test and SPSS program. Results showed that scores in the experimental group increased in understanding of the meaning and contemplation of the Quran and the difference with contorol group is significant, But the difference in Literal reading was not significant. Also The findings showed that the Academic motivation of the experimental group compared with the control group was significantly increased.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of virtual education on teachers' empowerment in the use of smart equipment in elementary school. In this study, a hybrid method was used. In the qualitative section, we interviewed 14 elementary teachers, experts, and administrators. In the quantitative part, a questionnaire with 22 items was developed based on the findings of the interviews. The validity of this questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability coefficient was 79 to 92. Standards of G power were used to select sample size. Findings indicate that the use of smart equipment among elementary school teachers is limited. Another finding was the use of smart devices has a negative (nonsignificant) relationship with the quality of the teaching-learning process. Attending virtual training courses is not related to the amount of using smart equipment, while attending these courses has positive relationship with the knowledge and skills of teachers and the quality of the teaching-learning process. The final analysis, conducted with the help of qualitative findings, led the researcher to conclude that although virtual training courses lead to improved attitudes and knowledge of teachers, they do not actually lead to increased use of smart equipment and promotion of the teaching process. It is recommended that virtual and theoretical training be replaced by in-person and applied in-service training. At least, in-person training courses getting serious parallel to virtual training.

This research was content analysis of the 10 grade media literacy and thought textbook from the perspective of six major problem solving information literacy skills .In this research content analysis and survey methods were used . The statistical population consisted of the content of the 10th grade thought and media literacy textbook in 2018 and 332 teachers of media literacy. The sample were thought text book and 180teachers whom were selected using Cochran formula and cluster sampling method. Data collection tools were two researcher made tools : a checklist and a questionnaire whose content validity was confirmed by ten subject specialists and their reliability were estimated by William Scott's formula (96.66) and Cronbach's alpha (0.78). For data analysis, frequency percentage, mean, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and one-sample t-test were used. The findings showed: The use of information had the lowest score and the evaluation skills had the highest score . In the text book , to the ability to describe the task and task definitions; information search strategies; locating and accessing information was not paid attention at all. From the teachers' point of view, the task of describing the problem and defining the task has been given the least attention, and the skill of evaluation has given the most attention.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between adoption and use of technology (UTAUT) on M- learning in accounting students. This research is a descriptive- correlational study and the population is 141 students of accounting in Iran which was selected using simple random sampling. Fagan's (2019) standard questionnaire after validity and reliability was used to measure the variables. Also, the period studied is the academic year 2018-2019. Structural equation analysis and Smart PLS software were also used to test the hypotheses. Findings showed (in 95% confidence level) that there is a positive and significant relationship (80 %) between UTAUT and M- learning. Other Findings also found that between effort expectancy (EE) and M- learning is 67 percentage, between performance expectancy (PE) and M- learning is 31 percentage, between social influences and M- learning is 21 percentage, between motivation and M- learning is 19 percentage There was a significant positive relationship between motivation and EE is 71 percentage and motivation and PE is 73 percentage. Also, there was no significant effect of age and gender on M- learning. Although accounting education research has so far not focused on M- learning implementation, the use of personalized electronic tools such as smartphones for learning is expanding and tailored to current social needs, which enhances student motivation and satisfaction with learning content.
