Perceived social support and the quality of student-teacher relationships are among the most important factors of success in higher education. The present study investigated the role of perceived social support and the quality of student-teacher relationships in academic involvement of physical education students. This study was a descriptive study, and its statistical population included all physical education students studying at Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the first semester of the academic year 2020. A total of 170 of these students were randomly selected by stratified sampling and were requested to answer the questionnaires of academic engagement, perceived social support, and the quality of student-teacher relationships. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression tests. The results showed that academic engagement has a positive significant relationship with: total score of perceived social support (r = 0. 35,p <0. 001), family components (r = 0. 32,p <0. 001), friends (r = 0. 17,p <0. 05), support of others (r = 0. 32,p <0. 001), and the quality of student-teacher relations (r = 0. 63,p <0. 001). The results of regression analysis showed that predictive variables predict about 43 percent of the variance of academic engagement. Based on our findings, educational system planners and education practitioners are recommended to hold hands-on educational workshops in universities to teach ways of creating a suitable educational environment and promoting supportive behaviors in student-teacher relationships.

Radiology technologists have an important role in controlling patients' radiation dose and providing images with proper quality, and the effect of their skills and knowledge in achieving this is hardly disputable. Therefore, this descriptive crosssectional study was performed on 94 radiologists working in radiology centers of Ahvaz university hospitals in 2019. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire which included: demographic characteristics and questions related to the professional knowledge and skills of technologists. Data were analyzed based on ANOVA and independent paired-sample T-test using SPSS ver. 24. According to self-assessment responses, the highest scores of knowledge and skills were related to selecting the appropriate exposure factors and performing portable radiography, respectively. Also, the lowest scores of knowledge and skills were related to working with PACS system. According to the technologists’,viewpoints, knowledge of radiography techniques and being skillful in it are more important considerations. There was a statistically significant relationship between gender and knowledge score and between type of employment and skill score. In general, the level of knowledge and skills of radiologists working in the studied radiology departments is desirable. Holding training courses, performing appraisal tests, and using up-to-date scientific information can be effective in improving service delivery, image quality, and reducing the dose received by patients.

With the advent of information technology, educational systems changed accordingly, and the need for revisiting traditional teaching methods and using new learning methods have been felt by educational system planners. Since nearly half of the time medical students spend in university is devoted to clinical education, this education is of paramount importance. Therefore, by using relevant keywords, various interventional, descriptive, and review studies on distance learning in clinical education of nursing, midwifery and operating room technology students that were conducted in English or Persian and published in the scientific databases such as science direct, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SID, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and Magiran between 2000-2020 were searched. The articles which met the inclusion criteria were selected and assessed. The findings of these articles showed that the use of different distance learning methods has a special role in improving the clinical skills of nursing, midwifery and operating room technology students. When combined with face-to-face training, e-learning can have a positive effect on promoting students' clinical skills and competence. Of course, further studies with more accurate methods are needed to improve the quality of these methods and prove their effectiveness.

Previous research has shown that effective learning cannot be explained by cognitive factors alone. The aim of this study was to determine the role of factors such as sense of human agency, meaning of education, and time perspective in predicting academic achievement motivation among medical students. This study was a descriptive-regression correlational study. It included 200 medical students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in the first semester of the 99-98 academic year. The students completed four scales of academic achievement motivation, sense of human agency, meaning of education, and time perspective. Pearson correlation and multiple regression methods were used to analyze the data using SPSS ver. 24. Findings showed that the motivation for academic achievement has a significant relationship with the components of human agency and the meaning of education. Also, 0. 22 of the total variance of academic achievement motivation was predicted by these three components. As a result, the findings can help university officials to design effective intervention programs to promote and maintain student motivation to take effective action.
