Background and Objectives:In academic situations, having the opportunity to succeed and rebuild learning increases students' self-confidence in achieving success. Teaching such learners the path to progress and showing the results of hard work makes them strive to master the learning situation. The result is a sense of control and autonomy along with a sense of value. Such instance causes the learner to insist, commit, and work harder without fear of failure to achieve success. Therefore, the importance of the present study is to theoretically determine and discover the model or how to place individual and environmental factors affecting academic resilience. From a practical point of view, this study aims to clarify the importance of individual and environmental factors affecting resilience in education. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between motivating tasks and academic resiliency and Also determination mediating role of mastery goals and perceived competence. Methods: The present study utilizes a correlational research method using causal relationship modeling methods. The research method applied to this study was structural equation modeling. The target population of the study comprised Tehran universities students who were studying at education and psychology faculties in the academic year of 2014-2015. The sample consisted of 414 students who were selected by random cluster sampling method. In other words, the sampling unit was the classes rather than the individuals. The instruments used in this study were: Classroom Goals Structures, Achievement Goal Orientation, Perceived Competence Scale and Academic Resiliency Questionnaire. Findings: The results revealed that motivating tasks has direct effect to predict academic resiliency. Furthermore, mastery goals and perceived competence mediated the relationship of motivating tasks with academic resiliency. Discussion and implications of the results are presented in the study. Conclusion: Based on this, it can be concluded that the setting of attractive and motivating tasks leads to the adoption of goals of mastery, self -esteem and control over the learning position of learners. Based on research results, the assignment variable as an extrinsic variable directly affects the resilience variable (dependent variable) and also through intermediate variables (proficiency goals and competency perception). In addition, the significance of the error estimation of each of the constructs shows that other external factors can also affect the relationship of the variables of this study with academic resilience. Based on this, it is suggested that other factors such as internal or external motivation and functional goals by learners be investigated as variables affecting the structural model. In order to apply the results of this research, it is recommended that academic centers be designed in such a way that learners face attractive and challenging tasks and provide them with the opportunity to succeed and experience a sense of competence.

Lack of physical activity is one of the main concerns about children's public health. Physical environment is one of the variables that seems to affect the level of physical activity. The Purpose of this study was to construct and validate competency scale for evaluating physical features promoting the physical activity of children in the school yard. The statistical population of the study was children aged 8 to 11 years old in Tehran. Sampling was done in a multi-stage cluster sampling, and 120 selected children participated voluntarily in the selected areas. The method applied in this research was descriptive-correlation. Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by an expert university panel, its face validity was confirmed by a group of children and construct validity was evaluated using the confirmatory factor analysis. Based on exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation, 21 items were divided into 3 factors. Total variance of these factors explained% 53.858 variance of physical features. According to experts, the resulting agents were called "environment attraction", "community spaces" and "play development". The findings of this study identify the most important physical variables that affect physical activity in the school yard, so it can be used to design the school yard.

Current spiritual needs of society have attracted the attention of humanities scholars and experts. Islam remains with this historical claim of addressing human spirit and psychological needs for every generation at any time. It is a mission for every Moslem to advocate Islamic religious thought. Religious advocacy in Islam means communicating facts to the public in form of invitation to follow Divine orders and encouragement to follow prophets' traditions. Advertising has psychological and sociological roles in persuading people. It may take many forms, including sensorial, logical, and emotional. Identification of different advertising approaches and learning how to apply them in religious advocacy has profound effects in inviting others to strive for perfection and reach for God. The objective of the present study was to examine the principles and theories of teaching advertising methods. Data collection for this study was through library research. The research data were gathered from related books, articles, and sites with the nature and objective of this study in mind. Therefore, the presented data have no quantitative or statistical value.

Abstract: The vocational self-concept is part of the overall self-concept and it has more relation with a part of the "self" which has the needs, values, interests, abilities and personality. The aim of this study is to develop a model of emotional intelligence skills and effectiveness of this model on students' vocational self-concept. The research method for developing the model is qualitative and using the conceptualization theory. For finding the effectiveness of the emotional intelligence skill learning model of vocational self-concept we used qualitative method. In this part, according to the goal in applying research and according to the research plan, there are two groups of random selection of pre-test post-test in the experimental plan (experimental and control). The statistical society of this research is all the high school students’ of Ardel city and the text published in emotional intelligence till 1390. The research tool is the professional rating scale (VRS) which has been used for measure vocational self-concept. Then the emotional intelligence skill learning model prepared, and this model was implemented on the experimental group. The results showed that emotional intelligence skill learning on students’ self concept was effective and there is a meaningful difference between these two (p,0.01)

The present study investigated the causes of loss and motivational factors among pre university students before they had their own points of view. Subjects studied in 1455 pre-university students (766 girls and 683 boys) was the center from 8 randomly selected were studied to Measure the attitude of students about a drop in academic motivation scale, 40 species based on spectrum Likert motivational factors that were taken in four categories of family, school environment, social environment and individual measures were.

Emotional intelligence is defined as a construct involving the ability of an individual to monitor their own and others’ emotions, to discriminate among the positive and negative effects of emotion, and to use emotional information to guide their thinking and actions. This study was carried out to find the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic success and the association between emotional intelligence and major of study. The scores obtained on EQ-i and the GPA of 187 students of physical education, chemistry, mathematics, English and medicine were correlated. Results show a coefficient of correlation of 0.161 which is significant at 0.05 level of significance. This indicates no significant relationship between EI and academic success. The result of a correlational analysis between assertiveness and academic success shows an r = 0.318 at 0.03 level of significance that is not a statistically significant association. The F value of 1.461 at the level of significance of 0.205 indicates that there is no significant difference between the different majors regarding their EI. Hence major has no relationship with the EI of students.
