        The aim of the current study was to study the relationship between personality traits, moral behavior and the feeling of guilt with compulsory citizenship behavior. Thus, 320 teachers at Isfahan female high schools were chosen by stratified random sampling method and proportional to demographic share of each region as a sample. The research method was casual-comparative-correlation method and the study tools included the measures of Vigoda-Gadot Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale, Costa & McCrae, Personality Traits Inventory, Lussier, Moral Behavior Inventory, The Feeling of Guilt Scale Marschall, Sanftner & Tangney. The data was analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient and the structural equation modeling. Results revealed that, there was a negative relationship between personality traits (the extroversion characteristics, being pleasant, being conscientious) with compulsory citizenship behavior, and a negative relationship with flexibility, and a significant and positive relationship with psychotic characteristic. Results of the structural equation modeling showed that between personality traits, there is a direct and significant relationship between the dimensions of being conscientious and being pleasant with moral behavior. In addition there was a direct and significant relationship between the characteristics of being conscientious, flexibility, extroversion and psychotic with the feeling of guilt, and there was a direct and significant relationship between moral behavior variable and the feeling of guilt with compulsory citizenship behavior.

        The present study has been carried out at the aim of investigation of the share of education and school in constructing the student’s moral identity. The qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was utilized to perform the research. The participants were 15 female students with the age of 15 to 17 years that were selected with a targeted method based on the principle of saturation or repetition of answers. The tool for data gathering in the present research was the semi-structured qualitative interview with open-ended and standardized questions and the data were analyzed and classified according to Strauss and Glaser's approach. Due to the results, in the family aspect, the parents’ characteristics and their educative methods are effective factors on constructing the moral identity, interplays, and influence of students from the school. In school aspect, the awareness and obligation of laws, the amount and how to encouragement and punishment, the interplay with classmates, the teaching method and personality of teachers, the interplay with school staff, the amount and type of the extracurricular activities, school environment, and also the content of educational books exhibits a significant effect on the constructing the moral identity of the students. Likewise, it can be obtained from the results that in the school aspect, the personality and behavior of teachers, their moral identity, and their obligation to the moral teaching have an indelible effect on the moral identity of the students.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dramatic creativity training on working memory and schoolwork engagement of elementary school students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest and follow-up with control group. The statistical population of the study was the students of primary girls' schools in district one of Saveh city. Among them, 50 second grade students were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned in experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a 12-session course of dramatic creativity based on auditory and visual stimuli of working memory and creating positive emotions and motivation to do homework. Academic engagement scale and computer software "working memory information processing index" were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using multivariable variance analysis with repeated measures. Findings showed that teaching dramatic creativity led to a significant increase in working memory processing capacity and school-work engagement of students. These findings were also stable in the two-month follow-up. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of creativity dramatically plays in the educational process, increases the capacity of processing working memory and students motivate to engage more in school works.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate how the level of difficulty of mathematical questions trigger the epistemic emotions (confusion, surprise, curiosity, enjoyment, anxiety, frustration and boredom) between students with mathematical disability (MLD) and high achievement (HA) during math problem-solving. The method of this study was causal comparative. The statistical population of this study are all students from the 5th and 6th grade in Shiraz, which according to our purpose was: 15 with math disability (5 girls and 10 boys), and 15 with high achievement (8 girls and 9 boys). The statistical method of this study was repeated measures ANOVA and MANOVA. The results showed that the level of difficulty of the questions increased the anxiety, frustration, and boredom of students with math disabilities compared to HA group while the surprise was decreased, but there was no significant difference in the excitement and curiosity between the two groups. These findings show that the difficulty of the questions is significant, but what is remarkable about the findings is the role of math disabilities in addition to the level of difficulty plays in inducing these emotions.

        Several variables play a role in the relationship between the student and the school and affect it. This research was done with the aim of providing a model of connection with school based on identity styles and school atmosphere with the mediation of academic self-efficacy. The statistical population of the study was all 3600 first year high school students in Kangavar in the academic year 1399-1400. For this purpose, 520 students were selected by cluster sampling method and questionnaires related to Rezaei Sharif et al. (2014). School atmosphere Lee et al. (2017), Identity style Brzezinski (1992) And Academic Self-Efficacy of Jenks & Morgan (2003) Completed electronically.. After collecting data, structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model and hypotheses. The results showed that school style and identity style have a significant and positive relationship with academic self-efficacy and connection with school. The style of school identity and atmosphere also affects the connection with the school through self-efficacy. According to the fit of the developed model, the findings show that paying attention to the variables of identity style, school style and self-efficacy can lead to an increase in school connection in students. In order to improve the connection with the school, it seems necessary to pay attention to the styles of academic self-efficacy, identity and school atmosphere. Manuscript profile

        The present study aimed to determine the effect of training of words with similar phonetic letters on dictation skill to 3rd grade students in elementary schools. In this experimental study, sixty 3rd grade students who had problems in dictation of words with similar phonetic letters (according to the scores of dictation, teacher’s comments and the scores of 10 recent dictations) selected from elementary school randomly. and assigned to experimental and control groups in equal. The experimental group participated in 27 sessions and were educated by the words with similar phonetic letters. Two groups evaluated by teacher-made dictation test again after the last session. The scores of the two groups analyzed by independent t-test and two factors analysis of variances. Results showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.001) between mean scores of the two groups. Also, interactive effect of group and gender was significant (p<0.001) on decrease of dictation errors. In sum, it can be concluded that the training method in the present study, has improved dictation skill of students who had problems in dictation of words with similar phonetic letters. It is recommended that this method might be effective in training of students in addition to the running method. Manuscript profile
