The purpose of this study was to investigate the internship experiences of elementary professors of Shahid Bahonar and Khajeh Nasir campuses to improve the process of internship in Farhangian University. The approach and strategy of this research are qualitative. The subjects include all the faculty members, as well as the elementary major teacher-students having experienced internship at least for two semesters. The targeted sampling method was used to select the sample. 11 professors and 16 teacherstudents majoring elementary field in these campuses were interviewed and then the data of the interviews were analyzed in three stages of open, pivotal and selective coding to elicit concepts and categories. In this research, the pivot phenomenon is divided into three general categories: meritocracy, professional participation and training engineering. Identified causative conditions were also divided into three categories: laws and regulations, financial concerns, and flourishing plans and activities. Identifiable intervening factors including educational standards and the background factors are: assessment needs of education and supporting improving programs and, finally, the identified outcomes were: improving the teaching-learning process and responding to the needs of teacher-students.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the life quality of sixth grade students of elementary schools. The study was a descriptive survey. The statistical population includes all female sixth grade students of elementary schools in Babol who were educating in academic year 2016-2017. The sampling method was of a clusteringmultistage type. The sample size was estimated 340 according to Morgan's table. The research instrument was the life quality questionnaire in school (Aynly and Borg, 1992) whose validity and reliability have been confirmed for Iranian society. Friedman and single-sample t-tests were used to analyze the data. Results showed that students' evaluation of public satisfaction, relationship with the teacher, opportunity, progress, adventure and social cohesion was adequate. But in regarding the negative affect factor, the sample mean was equal to the average of the hypothetical population. The rating of life quality showed that the social cohesion was the first priority and the progress was the last one. Based on the results, it can be concluded that sixth grade students' life in schools of Babol is in a good condition.

One of the main functions of the philosophical mindedness in learning is the mental management mode of individuals in knowledge management. In other words, people who have a philosophical mindedness are capable of managing their learning and knowledge production in themselves. The goal of this research is to clarify the impact of philosophical mindedness on the Knowledge management of principals and teachers of primary schools. all principals and teachers of Qom include the statistical population of this study. It was performed based on correlation method, 478 subjects of school principals and teachers as sample statistics have responded the philosophical mindedness and knowledge management questionnaires. there was a significant correlation between the philosophical mindedness of principals and teachers regarding the factors of Knowledge management (knowledge creation, Knowledge ratio, knowledge application and storage). The philosophical mindedness is a suitable explanation for Knowledge management and its elements. teachers and principals who have a philosophical mindedness showed a significant performance especially in the area of knowledge management and creation. Therefore, it is concluded that philosophical mindedness will be an appropriate and meaningful explanation for knowledge creation of the teachers and principals.

Today in the world, the Blended Learning has intertwined with the qualitative development of education. Blended learning is an effective combination of methods, teaching models, and learning styles. Due to the fact that this method hasnot been known in Iran yet, the necessity of feasibility study becomes doubled. In the feasibility study, the resources needed during the process, control, target identification, opportunity identification and design threats are purposefully evaluated. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using students' blended learning method from the viewpoint of managers and teachers of elementary schools in the province of Alborz in academic year, 2017-18. The statistical population of researchincluded all the managers and teachers of the primary schools of Alborz province in a total of 7491 individuals, of which 364 were selected by cluster random sampling. Data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The findings showed that, except in two dimensions, it is possible to implement a blended learning method in all of the components. Men are more prepared than women to implement this method. The educational experience does not differ from the viewpoint of managers and teachers regarding the deployment of blended learning. For managers it is not possible to implement a blended method.

This study was a practical study in terms of purpose and a quasi-experimental research in terms of data collection conducted based on the pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The sample included 72 sixth grade male students of district two of Urmia. They were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into the experimental and control groups. The standard questionnaires of Hanter's academic motivation and Fam Taylor's academic performance were used to collect the data. Results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups for both variables. This means that as a result of teaching academic skills (planning, time management, proper study and practice of lessons. . . ), students' motivation and academic performance in mathematics have been increased. Therefore, the use of these skills' training has a positive effect on students' academic performance.

The present study aims to analyze teaching methods from the perspective of primary school teachers in Qom through The post-positivism approach. This research examines three methods of teaching lecturing, group discussion, and question and answer using a qualitative analysis survey method. The lecture method should not be left out; it is widely used in teaching different levels of education and in different courses. Therefore, more efforts should be made to increase its efficiency and diversiy, including ways to diversify the speech method using note-taking and binary methods. The method of group discussion has not been very effective in developing the critical thinking of elementary students, but it has a great impact on the growth of students' self-confidence. The question and answer method in primary school is done as a one-way; teachers ask questions and students give answers and its benefits such as supplementing other methods and understanding and deepening learning are neglected.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of attention to Lipman's critical thinking in elementary third grade social studies by content analysis method. The research method was descriptive content analysis and the statistical population of this study was third grade social studies textbook in academic year 2014-2015. Sample size is equal to community size. In this study, experts of different fields were used for face validity. The tools of this research are based on Lipman's Critical Thinking Model with 6 sub-components: questioning, analyzing and evaluating, reasoning, evaluating evidence and statements, data interpretation and sound judgment. The analysis unit consisted of all the sentences, pictures and questions in the book. The results of the analysis indicate that the third elementary school social studies textbook has received the most attention sub-category of analysis and evaluation, and the least attention has been paid to the component of sound judgment. Since it is important in daily life, more attention should be paid to it.
