Background and objective: The economic growth and the well-being of nations depend on their human capital. Human capital is made up of talented learners, and training them to achieve scientific authority requires management and strategic planning. We aimed to define the steps for attaining scientific authority at the individual level. We also mention examples of how universities can work to nurture gifted students so that they can be promoted to a higher level of reference and authority. Methods and Materials: This study was performed using qualitative research model building. Results: Personal growth was divided into five categories. Talent is defined as God-given intelligence alongside providing the basis for strengthening it during education. We use the term “ expert” to refer to a person who has excellent individual skills and system support. An expert who can create superior service under certain conditions is defined as an elite. Leaders provide the ground for others to benefit from their knowledge and skills. In this category, the formation of poles and leadership in science and knowledge are discussed. If individual excellence and unity are known and respected by others, the individual has reached the level of scientific authority. At this level, ethics and professionalism become very important. Because knowledge and science are the products of higher education, policymakers and university administrators plan in such a way that, in a supportive context, talented individuals can take steps toward scientific growth based on their own efforts. Conclusion: In this study, we have drawn up a conceptual model that illustrates the path of individual development and explain related words well at every level. Based on the proposed model, each person in the higher education system, while acquiring experience and knowledge in the relevant field and specialization, can adorn himself with qualities that, in addition to successful influence in society and outside the country, will remain immortal so that future generations can be proud of his presence in the country. It also mentions the ways in which the field of education and development is developing in the universities of the country.

Background and objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two types of paper-based and computer-based assessment methods on learners’ assessment results in the final score of learners. Methods and Materials: Considering the language test of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, we analyzed and evaluated the test with both types of assessment tools at the same time and with the same questions. For this purpose, and to reduce sampling error, select five periods of this test, both simultaneous on paper and computer-based, and use psychometric indices such as difficulty coefficient, clean coefficient and Richardson Coder reliability index, Calculate and inferential statistics using Mann-Whitney tests, analysis of variance and effect size index (2η ) using SPSS software and at the significant level of 052 we analyze, compare the results of the volunteers. Results: The results show that the psychometric indices of the exams are better than the paper-based type in different exam periods. Also, the mean scores of participants ranged from 2. 2 to 0. 54 in periods 3 and 5, respectively, between the computer-based and paper-based tests. Except for period 3 tests, the scores of other tests followed the same distribution in computer-based and paper-based types. Conclusion: The results of the analysis show that with the same test questions, in computer-based tests, compared to its paper-based counterpart, they generally achieved better results, while differentiating the coefficient of type-based tests. On the computer, it’ s been better.

Background and objective: Territorial planning of higher medical education is a policy adopted by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education based on upstream documents. The purpose of this study is to investigate and explain the success rate of implementation of the document of Territorial planning of higher medical education in all 10 macro regions of the country. Methods and Materials: This article was a qualitative-quantitative study in the year 2018-2019. At first stage done the quantitative phase (questionnaire) and then the qualitative phase (semi-structured interview). Qualitative content analysis was performed using the conventional content analysis approach and Nvivo software. Results: In the quantitative phase of the study, 30 questionnaires were completed. The lowest average was in the area of decentralization and prevention of overlap, and the highest was in the area of repetition. In the second phase, qualitative data analysis resulted in the extraction of 256 initial codes. Reviewing multiple times and merging the codes based on similarity over multiple stages ultimately distinguished 109 content for evaluating the status quo and expressing practical solutions. Conclusion: This document is a decree for development. Balanced distribution and development of higher education in the country. It offers good opportunities for universities to get out of the recession and there are challenges, however, including lack of funding and delegating authority to large areas. On the other hand, in the field of higher education, it is advisable to have a population-centered and justice-oriented approach in the field of higher education, to consider the extent, boundaries, regional capabilities and advantages of the population. finally, according to their evaluation.

Background and objective: The quantitative growth of higher education system and consequently medical education in recent years has caused the quality of Important Components in Education, specially the exams with less consideration. The purpose of this study is “ the Identification of effective factors in improving the quality of medical specialty board exams from the perspective of stakeholders” Methods and Materials: In order to analyze this descriptive-analytical study, in the first step, three groups of stakeholders including board members, assistants and program managers were asked to give their viewpoints on the factors affecting the quality improvement of the speciality board exam in the four fields studied using a questionnaire. Results: Based on the results of the study, it was found that the participants rated the impact of organizational, psychological, physical and factors along with the designing of the test questions on improving the quality of the specialty board exams above the average. Moreover in the quantitative analysis, the results in the four fields showed that the highest percentage of difficult questions were related to questions with moderate difficulty and in index of discrimination, questions have appropriate dicriminatin index. Also, the KR20 Reliability test in all four fields have been above 0. 8. Conclusion: The results of this project emphasize more on the influential components that improve the quality of tests which include organizational, psychological, physical and factors along with designing the test questions. Moreover, the participation of all the stakeholders in the survey provides comprehensive findings which may or help improve the holding of the specialty board exam along with the preparation and design of test questions.
