- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Today, e-learning has become an integral part of educational practice around the world and plays a relatively significant role in student learning. E-learning is an educational approach in which educators and learners make use of electronic tools and technologies to communicate with each other in spite of distance and lack of close communication. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of e-learning and conventional methods on the academic motivation and performance of fifthgrade elementary school students in Shiraz, Iran. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in 2019-2020 academic year. A convenience sampling method was applied and the research sample consisted of 268 students (134 in e-learning group; 134 in conventional education group). Data collection tools included the EPT questionnaire (Based on Pham and Taylor) and the academic motivation questionnaire (Vallerand et al.). Independent t-test was used for data analysis. Results: the results showed that the mean of the academic motivation among the e-learning students is higher than the conventional learning students (p <0.001). Furthermore, in terms of academic performance, the mean score of the motivation component in the e-learning group was higher than the conventional education group (P=0.03). There was no significant difference between the two groups in other components of the academic performance. Conclusion: The results showed that e-learning had a greater impact on student motivation. More research with larger samples is required to better understand the possible advantages of this method.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Objectives: The general objective of this research was to study the learning styles and locus of control of virtual students at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and its relationship with their academic attainment. Methods: This was a descriptive study carried out during year 2017. One hundred virtual learners from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences were randomly selected as the participants of this study. The instrument used in this study was the Kolb Learning Style Inventory and Rotter locus of control scale (1996). Kolb Learning Style Inventory consists of 12 questions and four sections. Vilkaksn measured the reliability of the study by using Alpha, and reported on high reliability (active examination = 0.67, abstract understanding = 0.83 thinking observation = 0.87, objective experience = 0.82). The stability of Rotter’s questionnaire was reported by franklin to be more than 82%. The quantitative data were analyzed using person product moment correlation, k2, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and independent samples t test. The questionnaires were analyzed using version 20 of SPSS software and the significance level was equal to 0.05. Results: The results indicated that 80% of the students deployed a convergent style of learning. Also, it was found that there was no meaningful relationship between learning styles and academic success (P = 0.61). There was no significant relationship between locus of control and academic achievement (P = 0.51). However, the learners with internal locus of control were older than the ones with external locus of control (P = 0.04). Conclusions: Because of the novelty of virtual education in Iran, it demands more research to specify the degree of success gained by this kind of educational system.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Management knowledge in the new centuryis, which is more important than anything when it comes to continuous change and development. Any organization that is not adapted with these waves is unsuccessful. The present study tries using the meta-synthesis method to design a comprehensive organizational e-learning model. Methods: This study is a qualitative study, its method is heuristic, in terms of time it is sectional and in terms of purpose it is developmental and applied. This research method is a kind of meta-synthesis method that in order to implement the method, the 7 stage model of Sandelowski and Barroso (2007) was used. In this study, after designing research questions, a systematic search of databases of Persian and English papers, based on keywords related to organizational e-learning and all related and available papers, were collected and reviewed from 1992 to the end of 2015. In other words, to design the research model, no sampling was done; also in order to assess the content validity of the model, professors and experts’ opinions, in the field of e-learning, were used and to assess its reliability, Kappa indicator was used. Results: After performing 7 stages of the meta-synthesis method and reviewing 324 articles in asystematic way, a model was designed with 12 groups (intellectual capital management, e-learning practices, learning facilitating factors, technical infrastructure, educational infrastructure, the people involved, individual factors, information, technical features, training, strategic management, and communication), 49 concepts, and 531 codes. Conclusions: According to the desired reliability and validity of the model designed based on professors and experts’ opinions, this model is recommended to recognize and plan e-learning system in organizations.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background : People with emotional intelligence can better cope with the challenges of life and effectively regulate their emotions. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of life skills training on emotional intelligence and its components in undergraduates students of Isfahan. Methods : This study is a Nonequivalent control group design type from a quasi-experimental project. The study population consisted of all undergraduate students in the academic year from 2013 to 2014 that were enrolled in Isfahan. Sixty (60) undergraduates were selected by convenience sampling and were divided into two groups of experimental and control. Then, the experimental and control groups undertook the emotional intelligence test. Cronbach’s alpha reliability of the test was reported as 93.0, and the validity studies suggested a high validity of this test. After that, the experimental group was conducted through 15 sessions for 90-minutes. The post test was performed after completion of the training program of both groups. For the purpose of data analysis, the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 18 and the multivariate covariance analysis was used. Results : The results showed that life skills education, with an emphasis on communication skills, was effective in the overall score of emotional intelligence. (F (5, 19) = 14.76, P = 0.05, ηp2 = 0.79) eta-squared values indicate a favorable effectiveness of the training. Conclusions : It is suggested that these skills can be taught regularly and continuously during all periods of academic education.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: E-learning as one of the new methods of learning makes it possible to achieve skills at higher levels without time and space constraints. The purpose of this research was to compare the effect of case-based learning in two ways of personal and off-line (forum) E-learning on the knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate medical students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.Methods: This is a semi-experimental research, which was conducted on 44 dental students in the academic year of 2014. Sampling was a block randomizing. Both groups were given written exams before and after teaching in order to evaluate the participants’ awareness and knowledge of the content, the satisfaction level and attitudes of both groups were questioned by the application of an exam following the Likert scale format of 1-5. In this study, a paired samples t-test was used for comparing students’ pretest and posttest scores in each group, and an independent samples t-test was run for comparing the changes in scores, students’ attitudes, and satisfaction in both groups. In case of derivation from the normal distribution hypothesis, non-parametric equivalents were used in these tests. The acceptable significant level was α=0.05.Results: The mean score of primary awareness in both groups of personal and E-learning was statistically the same (p=0.647). A significant increase was observed in the awareness level of people after the application of learning (p < 0.001). The awareness of people in personal and E-learning groups before learning (median=2) was significantly increased compared to that after learning (personal: median=5 and electronic: median=6). The increase of awareness in personal and E-learning groups was statistically the same (p=0.216). Generally, the increase of awareness level was similar in women and men (p=0.822). There was not a significant relationship between people’s attitude with the learning method and age of the participants. Conclusion: Given that the learning and attitudes of students in off-line (forum) E-learning and personal learning was the same, and regarding the effectiveness of E-learning in time reduction and saving of costs and educational facilities, this new method can be used as a part of learning activities in medical learning program.
