Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the state of academic enthusiasm, and its relationship with self-regulated learning strategies and academic excitement in medical students of Zanjan, Iran. Methods: The research method was a correlational research based on the structural equation modeling method, and the statistical population included all medical students of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences in the academic year of 2017-2018, whose number was 212. Because the number of the sample population was limited, the sampling method was done as a whole. The research tools included questionnaires: personal information, Fredericks et al. 's academic enthusiasm, Pintrich de Groot's selfregulation (MSLQ, 1990) and Pakran's academic excitement (AEQ, 2005). The results of this study were analyzed using SPSS 16 statistical software. Results: The overall score of academic enthusiasm in the participants of our study was (43. 2) and it is acceptable according to Frederick’, s questionnaire. There is an inverse relationship between academic enthusiasm score and academic excitement (0. 447) and a positive correlation (0. 083) between self-regulation strategies. Conclusion: The results of this research showed that according to the results of the negative effect of academic excitement and the positive effect of self-regulation strategies on academic enthusiasm, it is better for curriculum planners of medical sciences universities to consider it.

Introduction: Faculty members are one of the major factors in the structure of higher education in a country. Therefore, the development of faculty members as part of university-level human resources management has a special place in university management. The faculty members’,development is a key to promote the quality of higher education. The purpose of this study was to develop a model of development of faculty members at Farhangian University.

Research data were collected and analyzed using semi-structured interviews, focusing on the two traits of twist and compeer in three stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding were collected and analyzed used MAXQDA software. Sampling was purposeful and theoretical. To evaluate the validity of the theory based on the present research, three methods of participant review and review of non-participating experts and questionnaire capability were used. Results: Based on the interviews, 650 codes or basic concepts, 92 sub-categories and 14 main categories were extracted,the extracted categories were analyzed in the form of a paradigm model. Conclusions: Findings show that the main categories of faculty development in Farhangian University are based on antecedents, processes and outcomes. It is suggested that academic policymakers have a systematic view on the theory and practice of this paradigm, because each of these categories are effective in planning, organizing and optimally leading the development of faculty members.
