The purpose of this research was to critically evaluate the teacher's assessment system by university students by examining the criticisms of it in internal research. Iran's higher education system has faced serious challenges to the quality of education in recent decades. The assessment of the professor, if properly done, improves the quality of university education and appropriate feedback for analyzing educational issues, provides decision making and strategic planning to the authorities. Therefore, this study was compiled by a systematic overview in the books and articles related to the subject of research in databases: Magiran, SID, Google Scholar, Ensani, sciencedirect with keywords; evaluation; professor; student; quality of teaching assessment; professor, student, education quality during the time period (1370-1396; 1993-2018) with an emphasis on Persian sources. Therefore, the outcomes of research indicated that the current system of evaluation of professors by students, although it has many problems, was currently being implemented in many countries, therefore, modifications should be made or the assessment of the professor by a combination of information sources. Finally, based on the results, policy suggestions for improving the evaluation process are mentioned.

The concept of patient safety is the essential component of health systems; and delivering safe and high quality care is the professional, ethical and legal responsibility for health care professionals. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of patient safety workshop on knowledge and practice of nursing students. This study was a quasi-experimental study that community of the study were all third semester nursing students of Shahid Beheshti Nursing and Midwifery school of Rasht in 2015. Then data were collected by valid researcher-made questionnaire which consisted of 84 questions based on 9 patient safety solution at the World Health Organization. Afterwards, data were analyzed with SPSS and by descriptive and inferential statistics, with regard to the significance level of P≤ 0. 05. Consequently, the results showed that education through workshop were only able to temporarily increase the level of knowledge (immediately after workshop) (P<0. 0001) eventhough in the long term (after internship) had not been able to increase knowledge (P<0. 14). Moreover, education through workshop on performance after the internship was not effective (P=0. 12). According to the results of the study and considering the importance of safety concept, it is recommended that the safety concept as a training concept to be subjected in the content of nursing Lessons, or this concept to be taught continually in all clinically practical units or to be evaluated in the form of public evaluation, therefore, by being repeated in evaluating students it can implement an effective role.

Continuing education programs are one of the most widespread methods to update the knowledge of the physicians. In addition, the Center for continuing education should have an appropriate mechanism for needs assessment of its programs. According to general practitioners, assessment and prioritization of training needs are to optimize programs, respond to their educational needs and improve the quality of servises that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of continuing education. Hence, this cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 focused on two main concepts: the identification and prioritization of the educational needs of general practitioners (G. P. ). The statistical sample of this study was general practitioners working in different medical parts of Ahvaz city, who were questioned based on a list provided by Administration Department of the Treatment Vice-Chancellery, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using a 5-point Likert scale containing 19 questions. The questionnaire’ validity and reliability were confirmed by the content validity, and also by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0. 85), respectively. According to the analysis of the data, out of the 19 proposed programs, the highest rate of interest was related to the training program of skin diseases, whereas the lowest rate of interest was related to occupational medicine program. In addition, out of ten priorities of proposed programs, the highest and lowest priority were corresponded precisely to the training course for emergency of internal diseases and forensics, respectively. The subjects claimed that their desire and interest to proposed programs was different from the mentioned priorities, and indicated interest was apart from the need and priority in the acquisition of retraining courses.

The aim of this study was to survey the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and mental health with academic performance of medical Students of Lorestan Univesity of medical sciences. Research method was desriptical – correlational and its statistical population included all 358 clinical course students. Sample size was determined by Cochran formula and 185 members were selected by relative stratified random sampling. Colletion data were carried out by standard questionnaires such as Metacognitive beliefs (MQ30 and Wells (1997), mental health (GHQ) and Student scores’ s mean. In addition, descriptive data were done utilizing descriptive indicators such as mean and standard deviation. In order to testing hypotheses, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis were used. According to survey results, there was a significant relationship between metacognitive strategies and mental health with academic performance of the students. Also, based on the results of multiple regression analysis, the variables of physical symptoms, depression, cognitive uncertainty, anxiety and sleep disorders, negative worry beliefs and social function disorder predicted approximately 57 percent of the scores’ s variance of students’ academic achievement.

Students' emotional engagement is an antidote that may reduce academic motivation and academic achievement, so it is important to identify the factors that affect it. Hence, the relationship between achievement goals and emotional engagement with mediator role of achievement emotions was surveyed is this study. Participants were 315 college students in different fields and sections in Faculty of Psychology and Education at Shiraz University that statistical population were chosen by stratified random sampling. For measuring the variables, Academic Engagement Scale (Reeve and Tseng, 2011), achievement goals Questionnaire (Elliott and McGregor, 2001) and Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (Pekrun, 2005) were used. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using AMOS-24 software. In addition, the indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Accordingly to findings, it indicated that the proposed model fitted the data properly. Better fit obtained by eliminating two insignificant path. Moreover, the results indicated that mastery-approach goals and performance-approach goals had a significant positive effect on emotional engagement, though performance-avoidance goals had significant negative effect on emotional engagement. Ahtough mastery-avoidance goals had no significant effect on emotional engagement. The result of indirect relationship showed that mastery-approach goals, mastery-avoidance goals and performance-avoidance goals through negative emotions, and mastery-approach goals, mastery-avoidance goals and performance-approach goals through positive emotions had significant indirect effects on emotional engagement.

The purpose of this study was to identify the success factors and measuring the effectiveness of e-learning among physical education students at Shahid Chamran University. This research was a practical study and it was done in descriptive method. The population was 342 students of physical education field at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. Approximately, 160 subjects were selected using Morgan Table. In this study, four effective factors in the implementation of e-learning including the quality of services and units, quality of information, interacting in online environment and the quality of system and infrastructure were evaluated and prioritized by a researcher-made questionnaire. Then, validity of the questionnaire was approved by experts as well as the reliability of the questionnaire was estimated 0. 82 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Validity of the hypotheses was tested by Student t-test and Topsis. According to Student t-test results, all four elements including quality of services and units, quality of information, interacting in online environment and quality of systems and infrastructure were considered effective factors on the success of e-learning at students. Moreover, based on the results of Topsis test, the most important factor was the quality of infrastructures, although interacting in online environment was the least one.

The mission of universities in the context of time, in keeping with global developments and changes, has evolved to meet the needs of societies, and is moving towards participation in the entrepreneurial paradigm. In other words, in a world where globalization plays an important role in the process of social and economic changes, so the role of universities has changed with respect to new responsibilities for a changing society, such as the national economy, social development, the reduction of public finances and the educational market. Hence, the scientific model of this research was based on a qualitative interview with university’ s heads and elites and a two-way sampling method for snowball. Finally, 22 qualitative interviews were conducted by referring to experts. Using Grendard's theory, the entrepreneurial university’ components were identified at Payame Noor University. Afterwards, the necessity of each components of the extracted model was investigated by coding in three stages: Open, Axial and selective analysis. The findings represented two main extraction codes and then that codes were grouped in 9 axes. Finally, the results of the research illustrated that the identified categories those had the greatest impact on the creation of the entrepreneurship university were internal factors (service quality, financial resources, ability, organizational structure, organizational culture, educational and research policies, management and leadership) and external factors (national and regional background factors, international factors), too.
