- چکیده انگلیسی: A great deal of attention has been paid to the experiences of learners and stakeholders in assessing the quality of massive open online courses (MOOCs), while participants' experiences in MOOCs and stakeholders are highly important factors in this process. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating instructional design quality of MOOCs based on Merrill’s first instructional principles and Margaryan principles. For this study, a method of evaluation research was used based on the expert standpoints. Statistical population consisted of 20 internally-developed platforms of MOOCs, which 40 courses (2 courses from each platform) were selected by using simple random sampling method. This study was carried out from February to July 2018. To do so, a check list of 28 questions was designed by researchers based on the prescriptive strategies of Merrill's first instructional principles (problem-oriented, activation, presentation, application, integration) and Margaryan’s principles (collective knowledge, collaboration, distinction, authentic sources and feedback). Accordingly, instructional quality evaluation of MOOCs courses was carried out by the educational technology specialists. Descriptive and inferential findings revealed that instructional design quality of MOOCs based on the points of specialists is under-evaluated and does not address Merrill’s first instructional principles as well as the ones of Margaryan. It is suggested that in addition to paying attention to the elements of the MOOCs platform and its facilities, the Merrill's and Margaryan’s principles should be used in designing the MOOCs content.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background Mobile devices, specifically smartphones and tablets, are aimed to change learning and teaching methods innovatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mobile learning applications on high-level cognitive skills. Methods This quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group was performed among all female students of the 10th grade of math-physics branch of district 10 of Tehran (n = 30) during 2016 - 2017. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The research tools were Heppner-Peterson Problem Solving Inventory (1982) and Cassidy-Long Problem Solving Style Inventory (1996). Learning content (statistical lesson) were presented via a mobile application named “GeoGebra” during eight 1-hour sessions, while the control group participated in a lecture-based classroom. Before starting the course, a pre-test was performed in both groups, and after passing eight 1-hour sessions, a post-test was carried out in both groups. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance in SPSS version 20. Results The results showed a significant difference between the groups in terms of problem solving abilities (F = 29.77, P < 0.001) and problem solving style (F = 25.72, P < 0.001), in favor of the experimental group, reflected the positive effect of the intervention on the experimental group. Conclusions Considering that mobile learning applications have a positive effect on students' high-level cognitive skills, teachers are recommended to use this method in their classrooms.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction : It is important to prepare a scale for the pedagogical evaluation of distance education, in order to obtain more accurate information in this field. Based on the importance of this issue, the present study aims to prepare pedagogical evaluation scale of synchronous technologies in distance education and determine its psychometric properties. Methods : The research utilized a descriptive-survey method. The statistical population consisted of all virtual students (3915 virtual students) from all universities in Tehran who were undergoing distance education in the 2015 - 2016 academic year. A number of 390 graduate students were chosen by random cluster sampling method. For data collection, a self-made scale was utilized. Data were analyzed through SPSS software, version 21. Construct validity, convergent validity, test retest reliability, and internal reliability of this scale were calculated by the exploratory factor analysis model, Pearson moment correlation coefficient, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated with Cronbach’s alpha method for the total scales and its subscales which was variable from 0.73 to 0.90. Results : After determining the face and content validities, the number of items in Pedagogical evaluation scale were reduced from 55 to 39 items. Construct validity of the scale was calculated by utilizing exploratory factor analysis model by principal component analysis method and varimax rotation, finally, 30 items and seven factors were extracted from it. The maximum overall variance (48.21%) was explained by the first 7 factors and the rest (51.79%) was explained by the other 23 factors. The result of exploratory factor analysis in this scale identified seven factors, including telepresence, interaction, flexibility, motivation, assessment, feedback, and perceived learning. Conclusions : The results of psychometric properties of the pedagogical evaluation scale of synchronous technologies in distance education suggested that the aforementioned scale is a reliable and valid instrument for pedagogical evaluation of synchronous technologies in distance education. Therefore, this scale can has important usage in the instructional design for distance learners’ learning.

- چکیده انگلیسی: The internet has many educational and research capabilities. Although some of its capabilities such as development of E-learning environments, blended learning environments, and enhancing the quality of face-to-face learning are known to designers, managers, and instructors, the research capability of this technology is still unfamiliar for most professional researchers and faculty members. The research capabilities of the internet are not only limited to data searching tools or sending of receiving data. Multimedia facilities and the distribution of ideas and communication tools can also assist researchers in conducting an educational study. Therefore, we aimed to introduce the capabilities of information and communication technology tools that help facilitate and improve an educational research. Therefore, after describing the characteristics of educational studies, the internet tools were classified into four categories data searching tools, multimedia presentation and preparation tools, publication and idea presentation tools, and synchrony and asynchrony communication tools. Then, the research capabilities and applications of information technology tools in different stages of educational research have been explained.

- چکیده: The current study was conducted with the aim of examining the impact of social-cognitive categorization of a victim of aggression on the degree of empathy individuals feel toward him. The innocent victim categorized as an in-group member was hypothesized to evoke the highest empathy, whereas the guilty victim belonging to an out-group was expected to be empathized with the least of all. Participants were 104 Iranian female adults who were sampled form the population of female students at the psychology department of the University of Tehran during 2012-2013. They were randomly assigned to four experimental groups and asked to read scenarios in which one character was the victim of aggression by another. Victims varied with regard to in-group-out-group membership (Iranian vs. Saudi Arabian) and perceived morality (guilty vs. innocent). Participants’ explicit and implicit empathies with the victim were assessed using explicit questions and Implicit Association Test, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data. Social-cognitive categorization of the victim had a significant effect on implicit, affective and motor empathies. The innocent Iranian was the victim empathized with the most, while the innocent Arab and the guilty Arab received the same degree of empathy. Participants empathized more with the guilty Iranian than the innocent Arab. Cognitive empathy was not influenced by social-cognitive categorization of the victim. The present findings suggest that compared to perceived morality, the in-group-out-group dimension had a more noticeable impact on empathy, particularly those kinds of empathy more dependent on the evolutionarily ancient systems of the brain.

- چکیده: Auditory environmental pollution, generally referred to as noise, is probably the most widespread stressor. Noise sensitivity has strong implications on individual responses to noise. Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale (WNSS) is the only available tool to assess the total noise sensitivity, yet not validated in the Iranian population. A Persian version of WNSS was developed during the standard approach. This study investigated the reliability (internal consistency, split-half and test-retest) and construct validity of WNSS in 287 non-industrial employees (clerks and sales people) aged 17 to 76 years old in Tehran, using several validated psychological scales including Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Zung Scale for Anxiety (SAS), Eysenck’s Personal Inventory (EPI), Buss and Perry’s aggression (AQ), job satisfaction and general noise annoyance questionnaires. Cronbach’s alpha was found to be 0.62 for part І, 0.68 for the part ІІ and 0.78 for the total WNSS scores. Test-retest reliability was 0.66. Two factors emerged from Velicer’s MAP test, i. e., the need for privacy and the adjustment to noises. The main factor in principal components analysis explained 17.277% of the total variance. Construct validity was assessed through correlation of WNSS scores with other questionnaire measures.A meaningful relationship was found between total test score and job satisfaction (p
