- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Instructors play an important role in educating the future members of society through their work in universities and quality education cannot be achieved without the supreme efforts of dedicated and committed university teachers. Hence, there is a call for more research concerning the notion of teacher commitment, its dimensions and the factors that influence it. The current study first aimed to set priority among the dimensions of EFL instructors’ professional commitment through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling and then investigate the effect of EFL instructors’ employment status as full time or part time on their professional commitment through two-tailed t-test. A previously validated EFL Teachers’ Professional Commitment Questionnaire was employed to collect data from 420 EFL male and female university instructors. The results exhibited a significant difference between these two variables in total. One of the important implications of this research is that EFL instructors inspire to evaluate their commitment regarding the priority of dimensions and their underlying components meticulously to find out what they should work on more to improve students’ achievements in the EFL learning context of Iran.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: What is “the best method” of language teaching? It has been one of the oldest questions of language teaching and learning during the last century. However, no comprehensive quantitative study has tackled the issue. In order to answer this question, the researchers meta-analyzed 56 studies with 7960 participants from many contexts. A coding scheme of 46 variables, in the form of four major moderator sets, including design characteristics, language characteristics, participant characteristics, and teaching characteristics, was developed. The overall effect size (g= 1.00) was found to be positive, strong, and significant for all language teaching methods. The findings showed that all language teaching methods, irrespective of various contexts, were positively effective. The results of moderator analysis showed that most of the moderators, excluding language skills and place of the study, had no significant effect on language teaching methods. Implications for current theory and practice, for both method and postmethod, are discussed.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Brain foreign bodies and penetrating missile injuries of the brain are familiar topics for Iranian physicians, especially after Iran and Iraq war. But it’s not easily plausible that there is a couple of sewing needles in the cranium of a patient who has not any history of head trauma or penetrating injury. The patient was a 42-year-old man who admitted in neurology ward of Mottahari Hospital in Urmia city with a complaint of headache. Brain computed tomography revealed some hyperdense foci with artifact shadows adjacent to them in frontoparietal region of the brain. Skull plain radiography indicated two sewing needles in his cranium. Probably these needles were inserted in cranial fossa at infancy when the fontanels were steel patent.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Universities require highly qualified and committed instructors to carry out the significant tasks of educating the future generation of the society. The primary interest of this study was to explore the construct of teacher commitment to determine its dimensions and components and finally design EFL Teachers’ Professional Commitment Questionnaire. First, through a thorough analysis of the available literature as well as a semi-structured interview, the core dimensions and components were opted. Then, in the second qualitative phase, the researcher designed the early draft of a structured questionnaire which was handed into 25 experts. Content Validity Ratio was computed to ensure validity. Subsequently, the modified draft of the EFL Teachers’ Professional Commitment Questionnaire was designed and administered to 70 EFL university instructors to investigate the validity and reliability of the instrument employing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. As a result, three dimensions of Commitment to Students, Commitment to Profession, and Commitment to University along with 10 components were confirmed. The practical implication of this study is a validated EFL Teachers’ Professional Commitment Questionnaire performing as an evaluative tool to assess the level of teachers’ commitment with respect to their commitment to students, university, and profession in the EFL academic context of Iran.

- چکیده: این مطالعه با هدف بررسی نقش جنسیت و تجربه در تدریس در آگاهی معلمان زبان انگلیسی ایرانی از استاندارد های اخلاقی در تحقیق انجام شده است. 272 معلم ایرانی زبان انگلیسی بر اساس نمونه گیری آسان انتخاب شدند و از طریق پرسشنامه دانش معلمان زبان انگلیسی ایرانی در مورد استانداردهای اخلاقی در تحقیق ارزیابی شدند. پس از جمع آوری پرسشنامه ها ، داده ها توسط نرم افزار اماری "اس پی اس اس" مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. از آزمون "تی" مستقل برای ارزیابی اینکه آیا دانش معلمان از اخلاق در تحقیقات به طور قابل توجهی بین دو جنس متفاوت است استفاده شد. علاوه بر این ، همبستگی پیرسون برای یافتن رابطه بین تجربه در تدریس و عامل فوق الذکر انجام شد. یافته ها رابطه مثبت و معناداری بین هر پنج زیرساخت اخلاق و تجربه را نشان داد. علاوه بر این ، یافته ها نشان داد که در میزان دانش معلمان از اخلاق پژوهشی و زیرساخت های آن بین معلمان زن و مرد تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد. میانگین نمره معلمان زن در تمام زیرساخت ها از معلمان مرد بیشتر است. این مطالعه ممکن است تنها پژوهشی باشد که در ایران دانش معلمان را در مورد عواملی که بر آگاهی آنها از اصول اخلاقی در تحقیق تأثیر می گذارد را مورد بررسی قرار داده است.
- چکیده انگلیسی: This study is aimed at examining the role of gender, and years of teaching experience in Iranian EFL teachers’ awareness of the code of ethics in research. 272 Iranian EFL teachers were chosen based on convenience sampling and were assessed through the Iranian EFL teachers’ awareness of the code of ethics in research scale inventory. After gathering the questionnaires, data was analysed by SPSS. An independent-samples t-test was performed to examine whether the teachers' awareness of the code of ethics in research differs significantly between genders. In addition, Pearson correlation was performed to find the connection between years of teaching experience and the aforementioned factor. The findings showed substantial positive relationships between all five sub-constructs of the code of ethics and experience. Besides, the findings revealed that there were considerable differences in the degree of knowledge among EFL teachers of research codes of ethics and its sub-constructs between male and female teachers. The mean score of the female teachers in all sub-constructs was higher than the male teachers. This study may be the only piece of research that has investigated the EFL teachers’ knowledge regarding factors affecting their awareness of the code of ethics in research in Iran.
