The aim of this Study was modify some of misconceptions and incorrect beliefs about mathematics in third grade students based on some educational implications. The statistic population included all third grade students’ of one school in district 3 of Tehran. The Sample was comprised of 9 third grade students, based on their pre-test results. Measurement instruments consisted of one researcher-made test, two semistructured interview, Wechsler intelligence scale for children (IV) and researcher-made stories.Construct and content validity of questionnaire and stories were established by some specialists and experts. Reliability was verified by test-retest and Pearson correlation coefficient was (0.87).The Wilcoxson was used to data analysis through SPSS19 and it revealed a statistically significant difference in between pre-test and post-test. It means, our intervention was successful to improve students’ misconceptions. In addition, interview analysis acknowledged some changes in students’beliefs about effective factors in success. Using objective, semi-objective and abstract representation in students with high and average working memory and objective, semi-objective representation and drawing pictures by students with weak working memory can help to improve some misconception, and using believe sources like self, others and deductioncan improve incorrect beliefs.

Since 2008, MOOC as an educational tool is not only used by educational institutions and also universities and it is interesting subject for many scholars and researchers. The aim of the current research was to provide a comprehensive picture of the conducted researches in the field of MOOC.In order to achieve the aim, the qualitative metaanalysis was used to examine and analyze 40 research in the field which each of them had a different perspective and methodology. The results showed that all conducted researches have predominant features both structurally, methodologically and contextually. Theoretical orientation of more than half the researches were based on connectivist paradigm which indicated that if Iranian educational institutions and universities want to implement MOOC, it need to transform structuralism paradigm to connectivist paradigm. Namely, education and higher education policies should move towards an approach which is based on dialogue, interaction, knowledge creation and emergent learning processes.

Science as a social and historical reality requires an understanding of each other and exchange of scientists and their ideas.For this reason, throughout history, a complex network of communication and cooperation in scientific research and scientific works are framed and have produced many valuable Scientometric research, scientific production is usually associated with another group of researchers is studied.The method of assessment, the participation of 95 Iranian research articles indexed in the ISI database between 1992 and the end of February 2015 were reviewed. The data were extracted from the database ISI Mvrrd data manually extracted and evaluated. Then analyzed using SPSS software version 20 was necessary.Results showed that the citations to papers and articles by Iranian authors in collaboration with foreign authors, there is a significant difference, So that the average citations to papers and articles by authors only 72.2 Iranian foreign authors carried out in partnership with 65.7 that the difference is statistically significant. Between the citation (s) there was no difference according to gender. And the number of authors and citations to the articles of association was not significant. However, Articles by 12 authors With an average of 34 citations earned the highest average and Articles 7 and 10 of author Mean only one citation lowest average earned This difference is statistically significant.These results suggest that increased international cooperation leads to the increase in the number of citations The Sex and the authors did not increase the number of citations.
