Examination is a key component of education. Quizzes can motivate students to be prepared in advance، and encourage them to accompany lecturer in the teaching. Especially it is an applicable tool for managing crowded classrooms. But designing and establishing quizzes in high circulation is the main obstacle in vast application of them. Internet as part of today’s modern life is a foundation to overcome this limit. Universities as pioneer applicants of internet have already its infrastructure installed. Although everybody agrees that information technology (IT) is effective in education، unfortunately due the lack of demonstration and scientific evaluation of its capabilities، it is not adopted in current practice. Following effective learning paradigm، this article surveyed “Simultaneous Electronic Response System” and assessed its applicability to involve engineering students in learning especially by establishing large-scale online quizzes. Results confirmed system’s performance and registered improved learning

The educational motivation plays an important role in the classroom learning. But a careful research in this field has not been done yet in Iran. In this research، we try to study the relations among different factors like individual، family، social، and school with educational motivation. The research sample included 1015 persons (445 girls & 570 boys) of high school students in Mazandaran province. In this research the samples were selected by a combination sampling( simple & cluster) and completed two questionnaires one of which was Noviki-Streakland and the other was made by the authors The collected data were analyzed by SPSS programs while Pearson correlation coefficient along with regression analysis were utilized. The research results reveal positive significant corrections between student’s motivation and the individual factors، the institutional factors، and، the social factors. Social- economic status of student’s families، however، did not show any significant correlations with motivations; while other family factors were found to be important. We can conclude that the student learning motivation is not a purely internal and psychological phenomenon but is much related to external factors such as social، institutional، and individual factors.

Abstract: Cognition about Mental and psychological factors، influencing the architectural design، is one of the most important indicator of architectural education. This study examined the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and architectural design skills in architecture students of Deylaman Institute of Higher Education .65 architecture students were selected from the University of Deylaman by Simple Random Sampling method. The Emotional intelligence of each student was measured by the Brad berry and Greaves (2004) test. Scores of design 2 and GPA OF students was interpreted as indicators of progress in architectural design and academic achievement. Data analysis was carried out by Descriptive and Inferential Statistics methods containing Correlation Analysis، Independent Samples Test and One-Sample T-Test and utilizing SPSS software. In conclusion we found that there is no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and both academic achievement and scores of design2 of students. Furthermore The findings also showed emotional intelligence of both gender (male and female) is not different significantly. Research results indicate no significant difference between emotional intelligence and academic achievement of students of architecture and architectural design skills. The findings also showed that emotional intelligence is no significant difference in male and female students of architecture Considering The impact of emotional intelligence in professional success and lack of significant relationship between EQ and architectural skills، architecture faculties should enhance EI of architecture students by necessary training courses.

Paying attention to the programs and education methods shows that make assistant educational tools is one of the main base in extensional education in recently two decades. one of the assistant educational tools in Power Engineering is use soft ware study Power Systems consist Digital Simulator for Electrical Network (DIgSILENT)، Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD/EMTDC) and SIMULINK/ MATLAB that use of them assisted to understand main power engineering discussions and supply probability education group students in the classroom. This paper refers to the some special capabilities and applications from one of the soft ware in the study and education different discussions Power Engineering. In this research whit presentation and education examples from different Power Engineering discussions by this soft ware have been showen influence them such as assistant educational tools in field. The results showed that use from these soft ware makes since transfer useful and deep to the students.

One of the important problems in mathematics education is how to make develop a deep understanding of definitions، theorems and mathematical structures. In order to achieve this، the teacher should explain all the knowledge and tools to be used and the student should try to understand. This paper first discusses the concept of mathematics is the subject of academic debate mathematical methods will be discussed، in both areas، the practical examples of how the project is presented. First، the proposed an algorithmic approach، the implementation of the algorithm، to create a deep understanding of concepts derivative ، and second in the debate about discussion education method for a deep understanding of concepts derivative and the concept of function is expressed. In this paper، using the results of a study in the Shahrood University and other documents، effectiveness of the discussion method، is shown.

Nowadays، in an effort to improve learning process، application of the new and active techniques in teaching methods، instead of the traditional method of teaching is essential. One of the active teaching methods to science teaching is hands-on and laboratory methods. To improve some of the deficiencies in the laboratories، the use of simple tools and hand-made instrument is suggested. In this regard، in this study it is trying to be reviewed the effect of using the experimental hand-made on the first year high school girl students'' academic achievement، knowledge، comprehension and application in the subject of light-refraction. This study was a quasi-experimental research and it’s method is Solomon four groups design and the population is all high school girl students in Dehgolan city and its suburbs to the number of cases is 527. The samples are four groups including 97 people. The school selecting as well as the class selecting and assigning them to experimental and control groups، is random sampling. Two experimental groups taught with the use of the hand-made and two control groups taught with traditional method. Results of the analyses showed that there was a significant difference at 0.05 percent (p< 0.05) between the experimental and control groups in academic achievement and application. The findings of study suggest that the teaching light-refraction by hand-made are more effective than the traditional teaching without using of hand-made to development of learning and application.

The main purpose of this paper is identification and determination effects of the using education by argumentation maps on improvement the average grades of the Critical thought in the students. This research is modeled in a multi-group semi-experimental project with pre and post examination. Data of done this project، in order to consideration the rate of think and logic testing’s، the test is done using Watson Glaser Critical thought. The sample of research was included of the 60 girls and 60 boys students at EIVAN Township have been done، who are studying in the second grade in guidance school at academic year 89-90. In part of the four groups is considered، which are selected using random sampling from students in the second grade of guidance school. Thence forth the experimentally group during 7convocation 90 minutes’ by using argumentation maps was exposed on the experiments and responsibilities learning. After two weeks the end of the project، the Critical thinking from all testing’s is done again. The data of research are briefed and classified using qualified statistically index such as: average، variance، amplitude and percent of amplitude. Then the assumptions of research are analyzed using test (t)، variance and covariance analyses. The analyses of the obtained data shown that carrying out of the argumentation maps in the class at science subjects are more effective on increment of the grad averages of Critical thought for girls and boys students.
