One of the most important needs and capitals of every human during his life is to have self-esteem and creativity. This research has investigated the effect of origami training tools on the creativity and self-esteem of female students Yazd city. This research was of quasi-experimental type in two stages of pre and post tests and in two groups of test and control. The statistical population included 4th grade female students in District 2 of Yazd city, and samples of 30 qualified volunteers were selected and replaced in two experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained for 9 sessions of 30 minutes. The control group did not receive any training. The tools were Torrance Form B (1981) and Cooper Smith (1967) Self-Esteem Questionnaire, which was completed in two stages by two experimental and control groups. The results of covariance analysis showed that the effects of origami training significantly increased creativity (P=0.011) and self-esteem (P<0.001). Based on the results of the present research, origami training increases students' creativity and self-esteem in answering the questions of creativity and self-esteem tests and increases students' performance. Therefore, to increase the level of creativity and self-esteem, origami training is recommended.

The current research was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of using social networks on academic performance and school attachment of students in Kerman. The design of the research was semi-experimental and pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all eleventh students of Kerman secondary schools. The sample of this research was 40 students from the community who were selected through simple random sampling. The data measurement tools were two standard academic performance questionnaires by Pham-Taylor Questionnaire (1990) and school attachment questionnaire by Brew, Beatty & Watt (2004). The statistical method of covariance analysis was used to analyze the data. The results obtained from the data analysis showed that there is a significant difference between control and experimental group (P <0.05 level) and also the obtained results showed that the use of social network has a significant effect on academic performance and attachment to school. Therefore, it is suggested to school administrators, teachers and counselors to familiarize students with the disadvantages and threats of excessive and extreme use of virtual networks and by creating a fresh atmosphere in the school environment, it will cause enthusiasm and eventually increase attachment and improve the performance of students in school.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between Corona stress and academic isolation of the first secondary school students of Hashtbandi city. The descriptive research method is correlation type. Statistical Society includes all the male and female students of the first secondary school of Hashtbandi city (1500 people) (677 girls and 823 boys) and the statistical sample based on Morgan's table includes 306 students, so 138 girls and 168 boys was selected. The measurement tool in this research was Corona stress questionnaire by Salimi et al. (2019) and academic isolation by Daily and Gronet (2003). The reliability of the questionnaires was obtained through Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.80 for corona stress and 0.76 for academic isolation. The obtained data have been analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between Corona stress and academic isolation at the 99% level. Therefore, having too much stress can have a destructive effect on the health and happiness of students, both physically and mentally, which affects the academic isolation of students.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of problematic use of the Internet on the progress of mathematics with the mediating role of self-efficacy in mathematics and the moderating role of teacher-student relationships. In terms of the purpose, the current research was an applied research of a descriptive-correlation type. The statistical population of this research was all the second high school students of Eghlid city, (1300 students). To determine the sample size, Morgan's table was used and 300 people were considered as the sample. The sampling method in this research was stratified random. A questionnaire was used to measure the research variables. Structural equation method and Smart PLS software was used to test statistical hypotheses . The findings of the research showed that the problematic use of the Internet has a significant effect on the progress of mathematics with the mediating role of self-efficacy and the moderating role of teacher-student relationships. On the other hand, it was found that the problematic use of the Internet does not have a significant effect on the progress of mathematics with the role of moderator of teacher-student relations. It was found that the problematic use of the Internet has a significant effect on self-efficacy with the role of moderator of teacher-student relationships. And finally, the results of this research showed that self-efficacy in mathematics has a significant effect on the progress of mathematics.

The purpose of this article is to review of paradigms, dominant Epistemologies and mixed methods research approach in educational evaluation and planning and mixed methods research and evaluation designs. Paradigmatic mixing approach in research and evaluation included the extent to which the researcher’s epistemological, ontological, axiological, methodological, and theoretical beliefs that underlie the quantitative and qualitative approaches are successfully blended into a usable package. Nowadays with advent of this approach, Interest in mixed methods in applied research contexts has increased substantially. This matter arrested attention to scientific realism as a point against logical positivism and basis of epistemology sensitive toward context and using of pluralism methods research. For entrancing to this domain to be familiar with pluralistic evaluation by advancing an enhanced conceptual framework that extends beyond the technical level for planning implementing mixed-method evaluation studies is essential. With each new application of mixed methods in evaluation research, the need for further change, adaptation and evolution becomes apparent. The key to the future of mixed methods research will be to continue building on what has been learned and to replicate designs that produce the most robust outcomes.

the aim of the present study is Explaining student retention based on , quality of educational services (course design, organizational support, interaction) in the e-learning environment. The Method of this research paper was descriptive- correlation, The total number of population was 6000 active electronic students of Payamnoor University and out of which, 361 students were selected randomly as the sample population. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The content validity of the research instrument was approved by five experts in the field of educational sciences. And also a confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the validity of the measurement instrument's structure. The reliability of the tool was confirmed by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was equal to 0.79. The collected data were analyzed in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that there are relationship between quality of educational services (course design, interaction, organizational support and student retention in e-learning environment. Also Regression coefficient indicates that quality of educational services can predict the retention of students in the electronic learning environment of Payam Noor University. Based on findings, to emphasize on quality of educational services (course design, interaction, organizational support) will lead to an increase the retention of Payame Noor University students.
