This qualitative study investigates the process of learning verbs, as one of the fundamental aspects of learning Persian language, by PSL (Persian as a second language) Learnersthrough dynamic assessment and using new technologies which are in contradiction with the traditional approaches of teaching and assessment. In so doing, two Iraqi students of Razi University were subjected to a four-month enrichment program that captured their microgenetic development and involved using IMO which, as a realization of new technologies, provides its users with the opportunity of synchronized electronic communication. Results indicate that each learner upon receiving the right level of instruction and prompts moved along the continuum of mediation internalization to get closer to the self-regulation extreme which in turn denotes their social and cognitive development in their Zone of Proximal Development in using the target structures. That is, dynamic assessment via electronic communication equipped the researchers with an in-depth knowledge of each learner`s position along the continuum of other-self regulation which was followed by the appropriate level of instruction and led to his development. The findings of this study contribute to the area of second language teaching in general and Persian language teaching in particular.

The research has been conducted in an attempt to examine the effect of multi-media teaching on sixth grade learners’ academic engagement in science courses of the nomadic multi-grade classes. The research is a quasi-experimental one and is performed using the pre-test, post-test method with the control group. The participants of the study were 40 learners (19 female and 21 male) among nomadic sixth grade students, who were selected using multistage random cluster sampling method and placed randomly in the control and experimental groups. The academic engagement questionnaire with specific validity and reliability were utilized to gather data. The face and content validity was examined and reliability coefficient was estimated 0.83. Using the inferential and descriptive statistics, the data were analyzed by SPSS. The findings revealed a significant difference between employing multi-media teaching and academic engagement (behavioral, academic, psychological and cognitive) of learners in control and experimental groups (p<0.05) and the mean score of academic engagement students whom being taught with multi-media method was higher. However, there is not a significant difference between the academic engagement of female and male students in the experimental group (p>0.05). Therefore, the multi-media teaching method has almost equal effect on male and female students.

Traditional EFL reading assessment has been criticized for providing learners with almost no instructional feedback thus extensively ignoring learning enhancement and learner training. In an attempt to address this gap, the present study was designed to determine whether mediations in a dynamic assessment program have significant effects on the development of reading comprehension strategies. Using a convenience sampling method, four intact EFL classes comprising of 116 male students were selected from two high schools in Hamedan, Iran. The study used a quasi-experimental design that included a pretest, a posttest, and a delayed posttest. The participating classes were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. A one-way between-groups analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to compare the effectiveness of two different interventions. During the experiment, participants in the control group received non-dynamic reading tests, while participants of the experimental group underwent DA sessions receiving mediation on applying reading comprehension strategies. The participants were also given the reading strategy questionnaires. Results indicated that training reading comprehension strategies through annotations and oral mediation in DA had a positive immediate and delayed effect on enhancing awareness and use of such strategies, particularly for low achievers.

Abstract: The main goal of this study was to investigate the role of computer-assisted concept mapping technique in improving learners’ autonomy and vocabulary retention. To this aim, different concepts along with related words to each concept were selected. Then, a general English test was administered as the pretest of the study and 28 learners falling within ± 1 SD were selected and were randomly assigned into two groups: control and experimental. Then, vocabulary items were taught to the groups based on two different teaching processes. The teaching process consisted of two phases for the experimental group. In the first phase, learners were to fill in the blanks in the concept mapping diagram with the target words of the study. In the second phase, learners were solicited to expand the diagram until they reach the main concepts or target words. Afterward, the learners were asked to exchange their diagrams with their peers via hyper-terminal program. On the other hand, vocabulary items were taught to the control group conventionally that is, by providing antonyms and synonyms. After the treatment period, immediate and delayed post-tests were administered to both groups. To analyze the collected data and to compare the performance of the two groups on the immediate and delayed post-tests, independent t-tests were run. Subsequently, an interview was done with the subjects in the experimental group to elicit their opinion about the computer–assisted concept mapping technique. The findings of the study showed that employing computer assisted concept mapping technique had affected learners’ autonomy and vocabulary retention positively. Moreover, the results of the interview signaled learners’ satisfaction with the technique.

Abstract: this study is carried out to investigate the effect of application of computer-assisted concept mapping on high school students’ immediate and long-term geology learning compared to conventional (Paper & pen) method. “pretest-post-test” semi experimental design with control group has been used at the study. Two classes of G11 grade students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants in Experimental group were asked to create several concept-maps with use of C-map software on Geology topics and students in control group were asked to do the same with conventional (Paper & Pen) method of concept mapping. After performing pre-test, students in both groups were asked to create concept map diagrams for 6 sessions (2 hours length), and then immediately the first post-test and after three weeks the second post-test were performed to assess their immediate and long-term learning on geology concepts and topics. Three teacher-made tests each contain 25 questions were used to assess students’ learning. The cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was 0.79. Analysis of covariance and t-test were performed to analyze the data. Results revealed that the mean scores of both students’ immediate and long-term learning in experimental group were significantly higher than the control group. Considering Eta square coefficient indicates that implementing computer-assisted concept mapping in geology education can account for 33 percent of students’ immediate and 49 percent of their longterm learning. It can be concluded that computer-assisted mapping can improve students’ learning.

Nowadays, due to increase in developing of a virtual learning system, constructing of an instrument for assessing the effectiveness of them is a useful action. So, this study was carried out with the aim of presenting an approach for assessing the effectiveness of teachers’ virtual in-service training from teachers’ view. The method of research was descriptive and statistical population of it included all teachers that have passed at least one e-course from teachers’ virtual in-service training system. The total numbers of teachers were 2040 people. Therefore, the 325 subjects were participating in the study. The related data gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire was used. This instrument is an adoption from Levy’s questionnaire. For determination of validity of the questionnaire, the content and formal validity was used. So, the Lawshe’s Content Validity Ratio was applied. The Content Validity Ratio was 0.63. For proving the reliability of it, the Cronbach’s Alpha test was used. Thus, the alpha for both value and satisfaction constructs respectively was 0.92 and 0.90. The results showed that there wasn’t any significant correlation between value and satisfaction constructs. So, value & satisfaction are independent constructs. Furthermore, the results of data analysis of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the using from four components in assessing the effectiveness of teachers’ virtual in-service-training was correct. Also, this analysis showed the instrument has construct validity. Also, on the basis of factor analysis, we understand the categorizing of characteristics in four components, supporting system quality; content quality; availability; technology is accurate.

The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of curriculum-based educational software (designing wood products) and practical workshop (technology of wood production) Wood and paper engineering technology - wooden structures industry with market needs of graduated people in this field of study. The sample (100 participants) including under-graduate students (engineers) of Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University (SRTTU) were selected according to Cocral equation. A Questionnaire was distributed to gather data, based on Cronbach’s alpha, the reliability of the questionnaire turned out to be 0.875. The results showed that under-graduates believe that the course designing wood products, had significant impact on their career and market, so that the content of this course was the same with the new contents and the needs of industry. But technology production of wood product course (the curriculum-based one) that is based on making wooden products at the workshop showed little impact on the deployment of what they had learned in the industry. So there is a need for proper syllabus design in accordance with the needs of industry and codification as well as the equipment and facilities used in the education of industry and market for the teaching of this course.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to anticipate students' proceed and to enhance their learning efficiency and success in a learning environment, using data mining. Based on library and survey searching methods, as well as consulting with experts, some effective features in students' learning are identified and then using feature selection method, the most efficient ones are chosen. To clarify the relation between selected features, fuzzy clustering is applied to them. In the second phase of the research, scores of the students of Educational environment study, are predicted, using data mining. Variables taken are midterm and final scores and the average score of selected units in one semester by students studying there between 2006 (1385) and 2012 (1391). According to the achieved methods we can guide each student from the beginning of the semester in line with their effective features, and based on scores gained during the semester we can inform the student about his range of final score to receive an educational plan based on his/her abilities. These methods can be effective in streamlining learning procedure in a system. Test results show the desired accuracy (0.939) of the proposed method than previous methods (discovery of association rules, classification, and identifying the inconsistencies).

: E-learning, by eliminating the limitation of space and time to attend in classes, has found a widespread use in communication between students and teachers. On the other hand, intelligence components, such as providing feedback and hint for students will increase the quality of education. But current methods for implementation of intelligent have high costs. This paper introduces a new method to provide intelligent e-learning at a low cost. Intelligence emergences in two components, including knowledge assessment and selection of appropriate hint during the problem solving. In this approach, a Bayesian network utilized to assess student knowledge and an Artificial Neural network utilized to select the appropriate hint. The structure of both networks is determined by training data. The proposed method is implemented and assessed in an e-learning system. The above 90 percent accuracy in both networks and low implementation cost are of the important advantages of the proposed method. The structure of the two networks which is based on training data makes it possible to use it in a variety of systems use e-learning systems with a diverse range of knowledge.
