Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of training of assertiveness program on critical thinking (creativity, development, commitment) second grade girl senior school students in Khorramabad.Method: The method of the study was sup-experimental with design pretest - posttest and follow-up with the control group. The study population included all high school girl students in the second grade, in Khorramabad’s public schools in academic year 1394-95. Sample size of 44 people (of 22 people in experiment group and 22 people in control group) using multi-stage random cluster were selected. In this study, the measuring tool, is the questionnaire of Ricketts’ critical thinking (2003). The experimental group was assertiveness program training, after the training meetings, from both the experimental and control groups post-test and again two months later, both groups were followed up. The research was conducted by using SPSS-19 and descriptive and descriptive and inferential test run such as multivariate analyses.Findings: The results study showed that assertiveness program training (cognitive and meta- cognitive) the effect generally critical thinking (P<0.001) and of its sub - components, on development and commitment (P<0.001) but had no effect in component creativity. While the results was preserved in the follow up Phase.Conclusion: Assertiveness program training is to increase students' critical thinking.

Background: Creativity of individuals, organizations and communities are a prominent role. But this role is fulfilled very well that we can bring creative people from potentiality to actuality that this requires providing appropriate conditions. In this regard the behavior of three miserliness, moderates and wastefulness noted that their impact on creativity is uncertain.Objective: This study examines the effect of three behavior, miserliness, moderates and wastefulness the creativity is applied.Method: Using exploratory and qualitative methods, the position of indeterminate effect on creativity triple behaviors based on authentic sources were covered. Triple behaviors and creativity, discipline and organization, and finally, the impact of behaviors on creativity trilogy was depicted in a single model.Results: The results of the study showed that three in a continuum of behaviors that stinginess and extravagance have put together the moderate middle point of their impact on creativity. In such a way that the behavior of avarice or waste away and be closer to moderation, it is creative.miserliness in the closed system through negligence in the behavior (not taking sufficient resources where necessary or less than the threshold, reducing communication, reducing diversity and lack of creative tension) reduces the role of creativity and wastefulness in open loop through the extremes in behavior (places unnecessary resource consumption or greater than the threshold of adequacy, increasing communication runaway, runaway diversity and lack of creative tension), reduced creativity. In contrast, the moderation in the negative closed loop system, through a moderation in behavior (consumption of resources where necessary and sufficiency level, targeted communication, diversity purposeful and creative tension), increases creativity.Conclusion: Based on the three models showed the impact of behavior on the management of creativity. In this way should be directed to promoting creativity in personal and social life and behavior are miserliness and wastefulness to treat moderate approach.

Background: Creativity is an important aspect of cognition. Society developing and dominating the various aspects of the world in the shadow of creativity are possible. The impact of creative activity on the brain has been extensively studied, but autonomic nervous system (ANS) variability has not been considered much during such activities. This paper investigated the chaotic and nonlinear feature of heart rate variability (HRV), before and during creativity tasks.Purpose: The aim of this research is to quantify entropy parameters during creative activity, then comparing it with the rest state and considering it as a creativity index. Method: Approximation entropy and fuzzy entropy are two measures that were used for characterizing the HRV dynamics during different creativity tasks.Result: Comparing the results with the rest state indicated that mean of entropy values increase similarly with the development of creative activity. In addition, the comparison of each 2 minute segment with the previous segment, shows an increasing pattern at the end of each task. This comparison in task 3 indicates very incremental changes. Increasing of these entropy values indicates the complexity of HRV during creative thinking.Conclusion: The research results directly show that there is a difference between ANS signal in rest state and different levels of creative activity. Analysis The entropy of HRV could be as a new index for assessment of creativity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TRIZ training in creativity, empowerment and management skills of the laborers.Methodology: This research is an experimental study, and Bahman Diesel Collection was selected; a sample of workers and TRIZ knowledge was taught within 9 hours and the effect on creativity, empowerment and management skills test samples were examined. In the pre-test and posttest samples 46 and 44 surveys were given. Three standard questionnaires measured the desired effects; these surveys have been using Randsyp creativity, empowerment of Spritzer and management skills. For the investigation of the effect of TRIZ on the dependent variable and statistical analysis, independent T test with normative data and Mann-Whitney test with non-normalized data was used, statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software.Findings: According to the results, significances in relation to creativity and management skills were 0.02 and 0.013, respectively. As a result, the null hypothesis was rejected; also significance in relation to empowerment was 0.917 that did not reject the null hypothesis.Conclusion: TRIZ training in creativity and management skills workers of the Bahman Diesel Company has a positive effect. There is also a significant positive relationship between TRIZ training and management skills and creativity of employees; it can be used as an effective strategy to enhance the creativity and skills of the managers applied.

Background: Teaching method is one of the most important element of the instructional design process that affects the academic performance.Purpose: The aim of the present research was to effect creating drama by combining Zeigarnic origin on the memorization and cognitive recreating concepts of Hedyehaye Asemani.Method: The statistical population included all of the female fourth graders primary school students in Asad abad in Hamedan province. Among study population, 20 students were selected randomly by multiple cluster sampeling method divided into two groups (control and experimental). The instrument included the memorization questionnaire and cognitive recreating questionnaire in this research, before the start of training from both groups were tested. The control group were treated 8 concepts from Hedyehaye Asemani with creating drama but the experimental group were treated by creating drama with combining Zeigarnic origin method.Findings: The results of data analysis through co-variance indicated that there was no significant difference between the control and experimental groups with regard to concept memorization, but there was a significant difference between the two groups in cognitive recreating concepts.Conclusions: As a result, it can be claimed that creative drama with combining Zeigarnic origin does have an outstanding effect on improving the students learning.

Purpose: The central of everybody's life includes learning. Learning is effected by around environment that these environments themselves composed from elements that have different characteristics and qualities and they are meaningful in relation with each other and Promote creativity Method: Selective measure-descriptive method and current article are applied that the goal is finding effective fundamental factors in creation of ingenuity in students. The society of the survey is female students in high schools of Lahijan, that their number is 2641 and volume of example according to Morgan table, is 335 selected students. The technique to gather information of survey, is the pocket of answer using range of Likert and analysis data with SPSS which uses factors analysis and testing of theories.Findings: In the end, with emphasis on factors in creativity, design principles of educational facilities, as follows: 1-the flexibility of forms, 2- semi-open space, 3-variability of natural light and color, 4-architectural using of green space and natural materials, and 5-changeable furniture; are presented that between these factors, variability of light with rate 0.84, has the largest portion in creating motivation that is one of effective factors in creation of ingenuity.

Background: Creativity is a human cognitive ability. As a rule, it is affected by a cognitive style. There are bilateral relationship between mood and cognition. As we think about emotional states involved in the formation of mood and emotional states influence on cognitive processes.Purpose: The present study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mood induction methods to improve creativity fluent verbal and flexibility in the students of Islamic Azad University, Najaf Abad branch.Method: The design of this study was quasi-experimental with a pretest- posttest control group and evaluation. The sample, in this study, was selected randomly from the students of Islamic Azad University, Najaf Abad branch. They were then placed into experimental and control groups. Mood induction procedures were taught for 8 sessions of 90 minutes each experimental group. Instrument included Abedi Creativity Test inventory.Findings: Mood induction methods are significant at the level of (0.05), with the effect of interfering variables 0.546, with a statistical power of 0.95, the increase was in effective verbal fluency. And with the effect of interfering variables 0.129, with the statistical power 0.624, the increased flexibility in post-test was effective in the experimental group.Conclusion: The results of analysis of covariance showed that induction training methods mood (positive) impact on students' creativity and flexibility verbal fluency and increase their creativity scores. There is a significant relationship between mood and creativity induction verbal fluency and flexibility there.

Purpose: Critical thinking requires that the thinking, exploring and postulating students be changed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is the study of the effects of inquiry-based instruction on critical thinking of students.Method: Research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with an experimental group and a control group. The population of this study consisted of all girl students in fifth grade in Hamedan in 2014.Available sampling method was used in this study, 30 students were selected as subjects of research and perch 15 subjects in the control group and 15 subjects in the experimental group by random sampling. The instrument used in this study was California critical thinking questionnaire.The Inquiry-based Instruction was presented by the investigator in 8, 45- minute sessions for experimental group, and the control group was educated through a traditional method.
