Active participation of students in the course of teaching/learning process is one of the.essential topics which have attracted many researchers, for the students' active participation causes the students to be mentally involved, thus increasing learning. In this paper, student and teacher talk was analyzed, using Flanders' interaction analysis system. This was done for the purpose of determining the teacher and student talk and their participation. To carry out this study, sixty high school classes- half males and half females- of three different fields of study were chosen, based on the multi-stage random sampling. The classes were from five different parts or areas of the education organization of Tabriz. Ten coders collected the observational data. The frequency of ten factors was calculated, using Flanders' interaction analysis. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the average of active participation and the type of free/limited talk among male and female students. There was also no significant difference, given the students' academic field of study, but there was a positive relationship between the active participation and free/limited talk and students' academic achievement.

Rapid economic growth and competition ability are the most important themes of the Fourth Development Plan, without promotion and development of human capital and increasing labor productivity is not achieved and in this regard, education an important role is playing. This paper investigated the value Added Comparative Advantages State and Private Education in Khorasan Region (including three Khorasan Razavi, North and South) and comparison with other provinces of the country. For this purpose, the share of value Added educational subdivisions in region gross domestic product (GDP) and compared with the country and revealed comparative advantage index calculated for the period 2000 to 20004, status education of Khorasan region in terms of comparative advantage was investigated and Khorasan position compared with other provinces of the country is also evaluated. The results indicate that in general the public sector Khorasan comparative advantage index had higher values of the private sector. This only in subdivision higher education been visible to other species and the amount of comparative advantage in private higher education is more public sectors in the years 2002-04. Other subdivisions in this period, all are having comparative advantage. Only subdivisions general secondary education and private secondary technical and professional in 2001-03 years as well as subdivisions private adult education period 2000-04 have no comparative.

The purpose of present article is to study the application of teaching university indices such as Teachable point of view, ideas, values, emotional energy and edge in Iranian public universities. Present study uses a descriptive - survey research method. The statistical population of research includes all the faculty members of public medical and non medical universities during 2006-2007 academic year. The sample consists of 315 faculty members who were selected through random cluster multistage sampling. In order to gather the data, a 74- item researcher made questionnaire was designed on the basis of Tichy’s teaching organization Theory in the form of Likert’s 5 degree scale with a reliability of 0.87. One sample T test and multivariate variance analysis is used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the mean score of the subjects regarding the application of teaching organization indices are all less than the mean criterion. In addition, there is a significant difference between all the means. Also the observed F shows that the relationship and difference between application of teaching organization indices regarding the academic ranks of faculty members and university managers are significant for emotional energy, ideas and values. Besides, there was not a significant difference between the mean scores of men and women. The relationship between the teaching organization indices regarding the experience was not significant too. But the differences of all the indices were significant in relation to faculty members and management positions. The results also indicate that the mean scores of medical universities are more than the non medical mean scores. The observed F about emotional energy, ideas, and values the differences are significant.

In this research, a comparative attachment styles in normal and delinquency adolescents was examined.

Attachment styles to use of Questionnaire Revised Adult Attachment scale (RAAS) and for assessment performance of family Subjects of inventory performance of family was used. To analysis research data, statistical methods such as mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficients, multivariate analysis was used. Research conclusions showed that attachment styles between normal and delinquency adolescents and between boys and girls is significant, and so showed that family performance affect the insecure attachment style and cause of Delinquency and behavioral disorders. In conclusion results is expressive that family performance, quality of conservation and interaction between family is determine type of attachment in child, adolescent and adulthood.

This paper compared the efficacy of these two methods on retention, understanding and problem solving in the biology keeping in the mind the fact that student's learning style has a role as a moderator variable. The intervening effects on retention, understanding and problem solving were measured by two academic achievement tests that those have the confirmable validity and reliability indexes. The group embedded figures test were used to assess field dependence and field independence learning styles. This research based on a quasi-experiment design. The pre-organized classrooms were selected by purposive sampling as four experiment groups and two control groups. The prepared concept maps were presented in process of teaching on the two experiment group's members and the other two experiment group members constructed concept maps from the instructed subjects. Results show that the concept map presenting method has more positive effects than the concept map constructing method in conditions that the students have field dependence learning style. Vice verse the concept map constructing method has advantage on the concept map presenting method in conditions that the students have field independence learning style.

The purpose of this study is investigate the relationship between consequences of leadership and Transformational leadership style in presidents of universities and institutes of Tehran, 30 presidents in Tehran and 102 raters (subordination of presidents) response to third edition of multifactor leadership Questionnaire MLQ (Leader and rater version).

Self-concept component and its relationship with family structure and perceived parental rearing practices was examined in a sample of 163 adolescents (87 girls and 76 boys, aged 16 years old) selected randomly from high schools in Tabriz. The subjects completed Tennessee self-concept scale with 84 items and a 77-item inventory measuring parental rearing practices. Results revealed no significant gender differences in general self-concept. The female subjects evaluated parental love higher than the male ones. However, findings didn’t show any significant gender differences in the perceived parental control. Four practices of parental rearing (authoritative, authoritarian, neglectful, and permissiveness) were studied in relation to self-concept. According to the results of ANOVA analysis, high self-concept was found to be associated more with parental authoritative style than the three other rearing practices. Furthermore, except for mother education, there was no significant relationship between self-concept and the family physical structure.

This article investigated the result of problematic situation that some research, including the study in faculty of Educational Sciences have portrayed it, the problematic situation is lack of full successfulness from graduators of educational management in the real environment. Followed this issue was raised that perhaps the process of training primarily non- feasibility process. Followed that finding the survey of review the topic of "Educational management feasibility" was performed. On this basis, the fundamental question is whether this educational management training can be taught? Literature review showed that a group of experts in order to reasons such as the gap between theory and practice say to impossibility of Educational management. In this article opposition opinions of education management were criticized, and the result is the defects observed in graduates, most likely is related to weakness of users not to management theory. Inadequacies of users can be sharp two factors a) the training was inadequate and b) personality traits than appropriate job management. If accepted the interaction of teachings of management and user, (Student Training Management) characteristics then should only the people were selected for management courses, which have primary features of a successful manager. Also can be other solutions in education management at the level of educational organizations ponder. Inservice training and promotion service based action research is one effective method.
