Based on the research findings, for the comprehensive theme (school-based management at the level of the Islamic Republic of Iran), eleven organizing themes under the headings: Democratic approach of the headquarters (ministry), participation, strategic organizations, school perspective, student perspective, honoring Employees, professionalism and specialization, role of parents, role of organizations, institutions, etc., computability and comprehensive monitoring, and deviations and deviations and the number of sixty-two basic themes were identified.

The development of Self-regulated learners is one of the most important goals of any educational system and can provide the necessary foundation for sustainable change and development of any society. The purpose of this study is to explain the process of developing Self-regulated learners in elementary school using a qualitative approach and Grounded Theory method with a focus on the role of teachers. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and letters with 25 elementary school teachers. Respondents were selected based on a theoretical sampling strategy. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: open-ended coding, axial coding, and selective coding, resulting in 48 initial codes, 19 subcategories, and three general categories. Of the intermediate theories thus obtained, "concern for holistic human development" was considered to be the central category. If teachers, as leaders of the educational process, are concerned with the continuous and holistic growth of their students and do so in the best possible way, through contextual conditions such as original content and new teaching tools, and through the rational use of facilities, rules, and time. As an institution that provides guidance and feedback to students, sets the stage for them, motivates them and provides the necessary platform to develop self-regulated students, they will be accompanied by valuable educational and training outcomes that will make them worthy future educators of the society In the future, they will be accompanied by valuable outcomes that will make them worthy future educators of society.

The production process of this instructional package, while having implications for designing health-oriented content, can play a significant role in raising the level of awareness of parents and educators.

The purpose of this study was to identify the null aspects of the curriculum acquired at Farhangian University of Educational Sciences. The present research approach is a qualitative approach of phenomenology. The statistical population of the study consisted of neo-teachers in the educational sciences of the university in the academic year of 98-99. Purposive sampling continued until theoretical saturation. The study involved 16 (5 men and 11 women) neo-educators. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to gather information. Seven stages of Colaizzi method were used for data analysis. The findings of this study were finally presented in 7 main themes (Lack of practical training in the document of fundamental change, lack of Islamic professional identity of the teacher, lack of how to cultivate creativity, lack of content knowledge, lack of pedagogical knowledge, lack of sociological knowledge, lack of knowledge of Islamic psychology, lack of eclectic art) or The same dimensions and 23 components were finally presented in the form of a concept map.

The purpose of the present study (providing a model for empowering teachers in the field of virtual education in the Corona era). The community consisted of 400 teachers in Khorramabad in the academic year 1399-1400. The data collection tool was a semi structured interview and questionnaire. Targeted sampling method was used to select the first person from a snowball fan to select other people. On the basis of theoretical saturation, 26 teachers were interviewed. Then, based on the Morgan table, 196 people were determined as a sample and relative class sampling method was used to collect data. The contextual theory and paradigm model were used to analyze the qualitative data using PLS2 software to use structural equations for quantitative data analysis. The results showed that empowerment in the field of virtual education depends on three categories (Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure, Culture and Incest and Supervisory Policies. Teacher factors (digital literacy, educational content, teaching ability, psychological characteristics) and student-related factors (psychological characteristics, digital literacy, social-economic status. The results indicated the favorable fit of the model. Structural equation analysis showed that organizational factors, teacher factors, and student factors had the most impact on empowerment of teachers in the field of virtual education.

The purpose of this article was to study the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between the empowering structure of schools and the performance of elementary teachers in Mamsani city. The current research was applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of its method, it was among survey researches. Also, in terms of time, it was cross-sectional and a descriptive research, which used the correlation method. The target statistical population in this study was elementary teachers of Mamsani city (650 people) and according to Morgan's table, 242 people were considered as samples. The sampling method was stratified random. Collecting statistical information from three standard questionnaires of teachers' job performance (Hersey and Goldsmith, 1981), emotional intelligence (Golman, 2001) and empowering structure of schools (Hoy and Sweetland, 2001) were used. The content validity of all three questionnaires has been confirmed by the experts, and its reliability was determined after testing among 30 people from the statistical population by calculating Cronbach's alpha for the three questionnaires, respectively 0. 927, 0. 791 and 0. 750. Pearson's correlation coefficient test, independent t test and path analysis were used to test the research hypotheses. The results of Pearson's correlation test in this study showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the empowering structure of schools, emotional intelligence and teachers' performance (P<0. 01). There is a significant difference in the job performance of male and female teachers in Mamsani primary schools (P<0. 05). Also, the results of the path analysis test showed that emotional intelligence plays a mediating role in the relationship between the empowering structure of schools and the performance of elementary teachers in Mamsani city (P<0. 01).

The phenomenon of orphaned children, and the anomalies associated with it, is a dilemma that contemporary societies face. Appropriate living space for these children, according to the categories of the effect of space on the psyche and development of the child, can be effective in reducing and compensating for some of the problems caused by the neglect and abuse of these children. In this study, it was necessary to study the components of designing spaces for orphans in order to improve the educational conditions of children. The present study is applied in terms of purpose, qualitative in terms of data, and foundation data in terms of the nature of the study. Data collection was done first in the library, and then field studies in the form of indepth interviews with activists in the field of orphans, as well as the collection and analysis of drawings and essays of orphans through meeting in space by researchers. In this article, based on Piaget's approach, homeless children between the ages of 7-11 years old in two care centers in Omid and Sobh Roish in Rey city in 1399 through selective sampling in qualitative research, and painting and writing with the subjects of their living space perception up to Information saturation time is received. Information through content analysis and re-coding, and after explaining the psychological needs of children, an interview with space design experts to provide architectural features of orphanages in four categories of body, meaning, equipment and program in the care of this age group to The title of architectural design priorities is explained.
