- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: The ever-increasing development of information and communication technologies has created new opportunities in the domains of curriculum planning and teaching. In this study, an exercise therapy course was held using both lecture-based and virtual teaching methods. Then, the students’ opinions were investigated and their overall levels of satisfaction were measured. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among all physiotherapy students who had enrolled in the fourth semester of 2014 academic year and had selected the course of principles of exercise therapy. This study was conducted during one semester. We evaluated the effect of lecture-based and virtual (multimedia-based) methods of education according to the learning management system (LMS) among 20 students. A researcher-made questionnaire was designed regarding satisfaction with virtual versus lecture-based teaching methods; the questionnaire was scored based on a five-point Likert-type scale. Results: Of 20 students, one individual was single and 19 were married. Moreover, the mean test score was 12.38 ± 3.23 for the virtual teaching method, while it was 14.21 ± 1.88 for the lecture-based one, showing a significant difference (P = 0.03). Generally, 50% of the students preferred the virtual teaching method over the lecture-based one. In total, 75% of the students were satisfied or totally satisfied with the virtual teaching method for the exercise therapy course. Conclusions: In terms of scores, the lecture-based method was better than the virtual one. However, the level of student’s satisfaction in the virtual method was higher than the lecture-based one.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction : Nowadays, students of medical universities need to be familiar with computer and information technology (IT) to become successful. The aim of this study was to investigate the information literacy and the use of IT by students in Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. Methods : This survey is a descriptive-correlational study. The study population consisted of all students of the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences and the sample size included 235 students. The instrument was a researcher-developed questionnaire with a validity confirmed by faculty members and a 0.83 reliability according to Cronbach’s alpha. For data analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Chi-square in SPSS 16 were used. Results : The results revealed the frequency use of IT domains; Internet obtained the most frequently used domain (67.2%) followed by Windows (54.1%), word processing software (43.8%), search engines (41.1%), and e-mail (30.5%). The highest mastery was obtained over Internet use (58.6%) followed by Windows and word processing software (48.3%), search engines (34.4%), and software installation (31.4%). The use of IT was significantly associated with previous research activities such as having PC, the skill to use computers and Internet, the mean duration of computer use per week, and English language competency (P < 0.05). Conclusions : The students’ mastery over the use of IT is weak in the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, and certain plans are needed to educate these students by holding workshops, empowering them to do research, and revisiting the curricula to increase the credits of IT course.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: This study was designed to investigate the relationship of the environmentalarchitecture and job satisfaction with productivity in the staff of Azad universities.Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study, out of a total of 400 employees of the colleges of the Islamic Azad University of Shiraz, 186 subjects were included as a sample group by using MORGAN’s table for sample size. Data were collected using demographic information checklist, staff physical administrative environment questionnaire, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Hersey-Goldsmith’s Productivity Questionnaire. To describe the variables, we used descriptive statistics including mean indexes, and standard deviations. The data were analyzed using SPSS version22. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to measure the relationship between quantitative variables and productivity score. The level of significance was p<0.05.Results: The results indicated that the participants were middle aged (41.45±6.8), and hadan average work time of 8 hours each working day and a work record of 11 years. Also, most of them were male and married, and more than 60% of them had a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Overall, the quality of environmental architecture index (mean±standard deviation of 58.04±10.20) had a direct significant correlation with the total productivity score (P=0.001 r=0.63). The environmental architecture index with job satisfaction showed a significant direct relationship (r=0.57 P=0.02).Conclusion: The environmental architecture index with the dimensions of ability, perception,support, and feedback from the dimensions of productivity was related only to the internaldimension of job satisfaction. Regarding the relationship of physical conditions with jobsatisfaction and productivity, it is suggested that the organizations should increase the quality of physical environment in order to improve the productivity of the employee.Keywords: Environment, Architecture, Job satisfaction
